NEW CONTEST for PRO SITE Homepage Graphic ( LOGO style )

NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE SAME CONTEST RUN LAST WEEK .
THAT WAS FOR OUR MAIN SITE AND THIS IS FOR OUR PRO SITE. TWO DIFFERENT SITES. ALSO, WHILE THE STYLE IS A LOGO STYLE, WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR A LOGO. PLEASE READ THE BRIEF AND LOOK AT OUR LAST CONTEST FOR ANY IDEA OF WHAT WE NEED. THANK YOU!!

Here is the winner of the last contest. http://99designs.com/contests/6314

We are looking for something similar though for flooring professionals, not consumers.

The tagline is "Where flooring professionals come to connect."

The site is a site that provides training materials, events information and industry news to flooring professionals as well as connects experts in the flooring community with with other experts and consumers.

Pro.FindAnyFloor.com - Our professionals site

We are a new company in the process of launching our BETA site in the next few weeks. While we have a site design in progress, we are in need of a main graphic for our professionals homepage. The main graphic is the focal point of the site and must convey in 1 to 3 seconds what our site is all about. Here is our site placedholder - remember we are a start-up so the site has not launched at this time. FindAnyFloor.com.

Think fun! Think friendly, but professional! Think Web 2.0, but something a flooring professional would be interested in viewing!

We want something that will really push the envelope... while flooring is not the most interesting subject to many, the idea is to make the site fun and interesting on its own. That is your challenge!

If you email me I will send you the screenshot of the homepage, so you can work with it when creating your design.

NOTE You would be replacing the center graphic where it says Your friend in an online world... etc This is similar to our last contest
