Specific Merge two photos for custom mousepad

[Arawen]

Hi Guys,

I would like to order a custom made mouse pad, and for that i would like to ask for help to merge 2 photos together so i can use that for my mouse pad.

Mouse pad's size will be 90cm x 40cm(35.4″x15.7″) and for that the minimum requested image size is: 2580x1162 pixels.

Here is an example what i'm thinking of, but i totally trust your skills and i'm sure you can even make it much cooler!
What i do not like on this image below is that some parts of the logos are cut (the blue Alliance logo is almost cut in half), so i would like to ask to keep both logos entirely (or as much as possible), and also some "fading" space between them which emphasizes the "conflict/contrast" between the two factions. If some extra lines must be added to the top and/or bottom to make it look better, feel free to do it

Below the 2 images are 2560x1440 but i can share 2048x2048 or 2048x1536 if that would help.

I added an exposure boost to the colors to emphasize the contrast between them, and I removed the red sparks on the blue side, is that all right?
I didn't want to add the black bars at the top or bottom, because that would look rather strange as a mousepad on your desk. As such, there isn't much space between the faction logos. Is that all right?

As a custom mousepad user myself, I know it is well worth the buy. If you happen to be using InkedGaming as your printing service, I believe you can get 12% off with the discount code TCKYEWBS (or maybe that only applies to one size, I'm not sure).
