Creative and entertaining design needed for a sketch comedy team

Turtlehead

Turtlehead - We're an entertainment/sketch comedy team that's putting out an entertainment website that will feature our videos, comedy blogs, and other humorous content from around the web. Site is geared to our viewers and interaction between them is encouraged.

Our main target audience will be 18-30 year olds, college kids, slackers at work, etc.

We purchased the Celebrity Press
(http://gorillathemes.com/latest-the…typress-2/) theme from
Gorilla Themes and require customization.

Current theme installed at: turtlehead.tv/blog/

Looking for some designs to incorporate the laid back, fun atmosphere of our comedy team. Creative, graphically rich designs will go over best. Feel free to play around with a cartoon style that will keep the sites feeling fun without casting a childish impression.
Rich browns and greens are good to integrate with our logo. You can play around with variations on the logo if you wish (Reflection/glare needed for the glass on the TV).

Navigation – 1 bar as opposed to 2 to distinct us from collegehumor.com

We like default slideshow but want to incorporate a blip.tv video player. We need a section that highlights our latest/most popular/featured content.

Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Youtube, RSS feeds needed.

-Nav categories for now: Home, Video, Music, Archives, About, Contact
-Expansion of nav to include new sections is necessary.
-Search and mailing list boxes
-Standout Button/badge that says “Submit your shit!”

We like this setup: lovehopestrength.org
