np at all mate! in your time! hope your ok there mate.

whew.... thanks:) thought you were gonna kill me there for a sec:)

hey hey hey, dont count me out. Ill post in a bit with mine.

Hey rage, this is very very nice! Did you have the dragon model to work with or something? Well, good grasp on photoshop on your behalf and other gfx programs :). I would like to see this as the top bar in the future, also.. i like the lines you added.. just make them a bit thinner (2 pixels or 1 pixels thick) and make them black, then lower the opacity (layer overtop) down maybe to like 75 - 50 %. Ok, good job again, cya.

ok
 

Coments please. I love it, but I want to know what you guys think.

seems a little too tall. I think you could bring the lower menu up right under the dragon. Plus there seems to be a lot of open space on the right.

I would also consider centering your second line of menu items under the first liine, as it looks a little off-balance with "Shaders" out there on its own.

Also, I'm not sure about the "Simply Maya" font. Seems a little hard to read.

Nice use of colors. :)

ok, hows this?

the 2nd one is the best of the 2

Not sure what georges and rages height of there banners are but they look a good height... not to big.

I know its a little compact but thats what makes it fun ;)

Also it wont resize unless I cut after the "by" word so then it would break the words away from the symbols - so really before the "brought" word we need a small clear area... even if its like 5 pixels, just so we can cut it and make a imge background of it.

Thanks man!

wow nice work going on here im gonna give it a shot tomorrow :D

So do I have a chance again Rage Kevin??

You ALWAYS have a chance! :)

The height of mine (max and maya) are 147px High.

Heres a new Maya one... not much difference other than the addition of the lines and "Simply Challenge" where you wanted it:)

Heres a max version...

I could, (or now you can) change the max font to match the Maya font if you want, using the font's and psd I gave you Kev....

Rage I like the Max one one thing i would say is Im not to keen on the bright blue buttons up at the top maybe a bit darker ?
