Scuba Diving site Logo and Header

Our new scuba diving portal has yet to be branded and we want you to have a go at it. We're looking for a clean logo and header banner that will become the foundation of our visual branding and marketing. We will work with the winner on future brand-related design needs for online and off-line media.

Divetime.com

To launch our web site we require:
- Logo
- Header BannerPlease see:

The logo will appear in the top left corner of every page on the site and will be layered over the header banner as background.

Our designs are fluid, meaning the header can "stretch", but is optimized for 1000px width.  Any graphic or images used as a background should "bleed" to a solid color on the right with at least 1/3 of the screen width remaining.

The header can incorporate either an image (we will aquire the rights to any stock images you may use) or a graphic scuba-related motive (eg: bubbles)
