Please could someone design me a forum banner

Hello There,
I am a total computer novice and am trying my best to set up a support forum for people who suffer from a condition called 'Dissociation'.
I really need a banner for it but wouldn't be able to pay unfortunately. I have been looking at the work on here and it looks very professional so hope my request is okay??
Would anyone be able to help me please.
I need a rectangular banner which says DissociationUK
I wanted each letter in the word Dissociation to have several shadows of itself behind it. I did find some graphics online called 'ShadowAlphabet' but didn't have a clue what to do with them once I'd found them. Then I wanted the UK bit not to have any shadows. I thought maybe the DissociationUK could be in black with the shadows in grey on maybe a blue or a white background.
The other thought was maybe that DissociationUK could be in black with different coloured shadows behind the letters in Dissociation.
I don't even know if any of this is possible or whether I should be asking here or anything. I would be very very grateful if anyone could help. I would of course credit the artist on the forum and any linked web pages.
Thankyou for your time
Elaine

Wow... Thankyou. I'm so pleased. I love the blue background in the first one. I think that is more what I wanted as I wanted there to be a few shadows behind each letter. But I think I just wanted the lettering a little bigger. The sizes on the three are great. The second one is great because there is plenty of space between the two dissociation words. On the third one I like the size of the lettering but wanted more formal lettering and colouring.
Wow... I'm not being picky. I love what you've all done. Thankyou so much for all of your time. Hope I haven't offended anyone. Decisions... decisions.

How about this one?



If you don't like the font face, suggest one from DaFont.

Is it honestly okay to ask for changes??
I wouldn't want to be too fussy. If I can then I'd say that the nearest to what I wanted is the last one done by webdesigngold. The colours and size is great except DissociationUK doesnt have a gap between Dissociation and UK. But the thing is that the one Ark did with the word Dissociation behind the word Dissociation is kind of how I wanted it laid out.... Would it be possible to have like a 'crowd' of Dissociation words in different colours all behind the black Dissociation and on the blue background. The shadows alphabet that I found on line didn't have the shadows directly joined on to the letters it was kind of like eg an A with a few A's at different angles behind it.
I have a feeling that I'm not describing this very well! Sorry.

Webdesigngold.... Thankyou for the font suggestions. I do like the one called 'Gara' if the letters were a little bigger... or anything kind of formally simple. Thankyou so much for your time all.

I see what you mean.. but it'll not look very well on words.. letters maybe, but words.. I can't get it to look good. Here's a link to those alphabets you are describing, am I right?

And look for your self how it looks like:

Then it's a serif type you want.. I found a similar font to Gara called Bambi. See if that's a suitable one.

Thanks webdesigngold. Bambi looks good. And I definitely see what you mean... about it not looking good in words. You're spot on with the alphabet that I had seen. Would it not look good with the shdows in grey and a lighter grey?
If I can't have that then I'm happy with how you have originally been doing my banner. Thankyou so much for your time.
Laine.
