The header for protein wisdom proper is 550 x 80 pixels. You can go a little bit wider if need be, but something along those lines would make things easy.
The only thing I ask is that the Pub’s slogan — “Okay, so maybe just about anybody can summarize the news. Who knew…?” (or something along those lines) — appear somewhere in the design.
The winner will receive lavish praise. Like, gushing, almost. Which — how many people can put that on a tombstone or in an obituary?
Because I want to get the Pub live in the next couple days, I’m going to make the deadline Wednesday at noon — but if I find something I really like tomorrow, I might just go with that.
So. Ready?
Begin…
“Which  how many people can put that on a tombstone or in an obituary?”
Will it be read into the official record on the floor of the Senate?
I guess I’ll have to pass. My version of Microsoft Word is all wonky, which means the bitchin’ WordArt I was going to whip up, well, it just ain’t gonna happen.
Sorry.
TW: durst sation — what was I saying in the other thread about TMI?
How about “Fuck you all to hell, you fucking Reich wing asshole piece of shit!”
Sorry I don’t have any graphics to go along with that.
My miserable effort is on the way. Unlike Pablo’s, mine only has one naughty word.
hhhmmmmmm….
I didn’t consider naughty words. Must be the influence of the demon bourbon.

Transparent Gif? Colors? Type font?
Ok, JeffG, just emailed you my first design effort.
TW: drunken fluff STOP THAT!
Is this for protein wisdom? or a new site? Details, I need details…
Or print, because that carries a whole different resolution.
It’s for the PW Pub, which is a second site for those looking to post within the PW community. Think of it as the TPMCafe, only for men.
I kid!
Well, I just sent a quickie and I see PW “PUB” – I guess I missed the PW “PUB” site post – it can be edited….
it can be edited….
It meaning my submission, I meant.
Jeff!
Do you recall what “typewriter” font you used for the “Protein Wisdom” and what you did to it to get in your current header?

A notion of the fonts you use would be exceedingly helpful.
Damn, I’m at work or I’d whip you…er…. it up. But I need a wee bit more info
PW Pub, PW PUB, or just Pub? Protein Wisdom spelled out? Are you planning on a white background? And are you offended by armadillo genitalia?
Are we to assume the same general color scheme? White bckgd, orange, black?
Email sent. Like you needed a comment on your blog to let you know you’ve got an email.
TW: really grotesque.
Spooky.
I sent a quickly-done and poorly-executed header to you as well.
But it sucks. Just so you know.
Sucks bad.
The color scheme is the same as on this page. In fact, the pages are identical, but for the header and new categories (once we’re up and running).
When I lost my HP, I lost my fonts. I have no idea what the name of the typewriter font was that I used. I just downloaded a bunch of free typewriter fonts.
If you are going to use something that’s just lettering, you should either match the background color or make it transparent, I guess.
I’m a moron, I know.
I want to “win” as badly as Harry Reid wants us to lose.
I want to be able to do something worthwhile (and enjoy doing it), but being as I’m slavin’ for the man right now, it’s kind of hard to do anything neat-o. I’ll take a crack at it this evening.
Here‘s one. Not sure if I got the message right though :(.
Here‘s another. Last one.
oops. This is the last one.
Jeff, my email has been on the fritz today so I’ve sent you more than one email. Don’t know if you got it / liked it / hated it / etc, so pardon me for being annoying.
Although I don’t think I can touch Kevin’s last one. At least not ungloved.
My humble submissions:

Ok, if you can’t see fit to let my #3 win, #26’s #1 is fantastic.
But be honest – Do you REALLY want to dis pubes?
Well I picked a fine week to have my laptop break.
I was wondering what folks thought about the prospect of rotating banners every, let’s say, 6 months or so. Any thoughts/
As long as it rotates between my entry all the time, I’d be ok with that.
Oh, and since my mail was hosed yesterday, here it is online.
You can write a tiny javascript script that makes a random banner pop up, so you can have an infinite amount of them.. Go here and hit reload repeatedly to see it in action.
Hey, it’s noon somewhere, right? Here’s mine:

Sooooooo….. Who won?
I’d support Peter Jackson, but he made it on a Mac!
