Celebration banner & logo for forum's first birthday

[Sabrinova]

Hi again super-talented people

We are celebrating our forum's first birthday in two weeks and we need a banner for the occasion.  It will be placed in SMF's collapsible News section at the top so can be full screen width, but being rubbish with ideas I'm completely stuck.  What did occur to me is that it might be nice to have an animated banner, something like this smiley writing "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Birthday ChalkCat" in chalk on a blackboard, but banner size.  Maybe it could be a cat doing the writing?  That's just my idea though and I'm pants, so better suggestions are welcomed.  It would be great to incorporate the cat somehow though, particularly the cat we already use in our logo.  Maybe the cat could morph into the words then reform as a cat??

The other request I have is for someone to decorate the logo for the occasion as well.  For Christmas I stuck a Santa hat on the cat, for New Year I put some fireworks behind it, but my graphics skills end there and I'd really like something pizazzy and professional looking for the birthday celebration.  I attach the logo for you to have a play with.

My forum is ChalkCat.com and the main colour scheme comprises #323232 and #800000

Thank you!!!

Morning al!  I just want to clarify the banner doesn't have to be animated, I just want something beautiful and eye-catching and that was an idea I had.  If I need to tweak or tune my request please let me know

Me again, sorry!  Just to say we realised we needed the graphics now if we're going to give our birthday competition enough time to work, so I had a play with an online banner maker and came up with one that's nothing special but does the job.  If any of you have made us a graphic that they just haven't shared yet, I would love to see it, but otherwise please disregard my request.

Thanks
