Default Need help with a banner

I've tried many times and can't seem to come up with anything. I feel that a good banner often makes/breaks a website b/c it is the first thing a user sees. In my situation i believe my banner is no good.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Website to match: Principle Web Design : Your solution for custom web design
* i will most likely be changing the nav soon as it is to bright and doesn't match the site well, so do not worry about matching that.
Size: 716px x 1 69px
Color Scheme:
#edf5fc
#e0effd
#003366
#f17e17
Animation: Optional
Text: Principle Web Design or Principle Website Design
Optional Text: Design Tailored For You

The rest is up to you, and i really do appreciate your help. Please let me know if you need any other specifications.
Thanks!

I doubt anyone is going to MAKE a banner for you. I will offer some suggestions though....

Start by coming up witha logo. Every good designer should have one. Its just another way to show off your talent.

Your site has a lot of boxes and seems very flat. Why not try andding some patters or texture into the header?

Also, check this place of for some inspiration

yes, i agree. Your focusing on the wrong thing. You need a logo first, then worry about a banner.

nice idea, the first white ring looks slightly heavier than the blue which i'm not sure about if done on purpose. Other than that nothing sticks out too badly
