Can't do literal translation, but it sort of means: Don't take Chennai Super Kings lightly

I wish to use Bradford Magazine Theme, so please make sure that the banner goes well with the theme.
That theme doesn't quite look good on a sports related site.

Great work.

I am a good designer in GIMP but as I didnot want any money so i didnot want to give effort in that.

I don't know if it is possible for you to select a different theme. May be you should try changing the color combinations.

Also you may have checked ur PMs by now.

Good effort! Nice try and I'm not sure if I'll select your people entry.. but please try and you might win some pocket money.

The name of the blog is a Tamil One. Why is that hindi like font (what's the font anyway)? I liked the grey background. Logo seems not be clear. But your banner goes well with the theme. Work it on as I feel it can be made better.

Logo is not clear. Font seems to be too fancy. That photo might be apt for some bollywood/gossip site, not for a cricket based one. The small squares also compliment it! Honest try but I think might not go well with the theme.


I see that you guys are trying to do with my banner job. Be creative. Other than the required things I mentioned, there's no stopping you. Feel free to run wild with your creativity. :D

@iMav, see if u can do something about this:
1. The font use for the slogan is too decorative and unconvincing.
2. Dhoni and CSK logo should be on the same side, preferably on the right side.

@Akshay,
The heading font should not slant. Slanting font is perceived as "seeking approval" whereas you will need as "strong expression" for this case. Try using bold, small caps.

Remove the black shadows beind the 'The unofficial fan club'.

Font: Samarkan

Ok ppl, with the CSK logo and MSD image, the other things are taken a back stage. MS Dhoni picture is not manditory. It's your call if you want to use it.. The phrase: "Unofficial Fan club" is also not mandatory. Check the first post for details.


Lucky_star -
Very nice attempt. Prolly the best so far... Seems too simple.

gaurav_indian -
Not sure what was the intension. :p No, animated is not desirable for headers.

iMav -
What theme do you have in mind? Check this out: *unofficialipl.com/ipl/

i just feel that fan blogs should be vibrant and enthusiastic not professional and simplistic, it's a sports fan's blog
