Don't worry about paying for it... If pmacFTO has no objections, I would like to offer up my services on the design front (Don't want to step on your toes mate!).
My website has some examples of previous work done a year or two ago... (www.stumason.com)
I know I'm south of the border but if you guys are going to run with this, whats the harm in having it look seriously good eh? Especially if it's going to cost nothing!
Cheers,
Stu
