photoshop/illustrator/artist gurus.....wanna help me with a website logo?

[iamme]

i really don't have much to offer. maybe some unused computer equipment i have around the house. i've got a CD/DVD external firewire enclosure that i don't use anymore if you're interested.

here's my website: http://www.pistonsbball.com/

here's the Detroit Pistons' logo: http://www.nba.com/media/pistons/wallpaper_centercourt_800.jpg

i'd like it to say "pistonsbball.com" in the same lettering as the official logo. or at least something in the same color scheme and that resembles the official logo's lettering.

Perhaps if I have free time later on...

You can't use the Pistons logo in your site without risking a lawsuit.

How's about something like this?
It's a first super rough draft.
It's massaged enough to keep you out of trouble. Different font and all.
The centers of the font would be whited out.
Eh?

How's this?

i think it looks pretty gay...

might have been better without the words, or if i had the right font... maybe overlay fleshlights text on my logo?

and how do you guys get your basketballs? i had to make mine...

edit: this needs the finishing touchs btw, just a rough draft

I don't have the right font, and I didn't take the time to tweak the drop shadow, but ah well.

uhh....pdf is the prefered format for reviews/markups/printing among every graphics monkey I've ever worked with...

why rasterize when you can easily keep it as vector?
