Redesign of Animated Card Gaming Website tarneeb.com

http://www.tarneeb.com

Ultimate Tarneeb brings the popular middle eastern card game of Tarneeb to the online world. We grew up playing Tarneeb. We love the game. We wanted the world to experience this fun game.

This is a card gaming website. However, our main differentiation and brand is in our Artificial Intelligence code. We named this AI, THETA. Theta is an animated funny character, very smart and with a very high ego.

Image and story of Theta:

Ultimate tarneeb is targeted towards an audience in the age groups ranging from 15-30 years old, mainly of middle eastern, north African and eastern European origin.

We are looking for a front page + logo re-design of http://www.tarneeb.com . No code.

Requirements:
- Page should reflect the quality and mood created by the graphics in our flash game and show that this is a card game . clean, simple, and creative. nothing derivative or stale.

- Must show THETA on the front page. Remember he is a funny character with a very high ego. Feel free to create/draw him in any pose/action of your choice. Prefer no 3D render as this may not fit nicely. Your creativity shines here.

- Not too many round corners. This makes coding tough for us.
- user Log-in must be on top right
- must have space for banner ads that are nicely integrated. (horizontal or vertical banners)
- Need a "top 10 users " "new members" "welcome " and "latest news" section.
- We would like to add small user pictures thumbnails next to "top 10" OR "new members".
- Large "Play Now !" button.
- We like : http://kleientertainment.com/news/ (content area is simple, simple edges, great background)
- we DO NOT like http://www.naturalselection2.com/ or the "traditional" gaming website look.
- feel free to completely divert from the current website we have today at http://www.tarneeb.com.

We appreciate everyone's submission and time. Thus, we are offering free advertising for 10,000 impressions of a large image banner to all entrants with a reasonable attempt. (you will provide the banner)

Thanks everyone!
