Which banner do you like?

Nosey Penguin
So I must have an obsession/addiction to redesigning my banner. I did it once a couple months ago to make it smaller and then again tonight. I wanted to know, though, which you guys liked better. What do you like? What don't you like?

That was one of my concerns as well. Now, the banner I made for my site has less glow (LINK) do you think that looks better? Should I make a similar edit to the banner? Thanks a ton.

.......I really don't know what to say to that.......:grin:
 
I've got to be honest, I'm not digging the gradient background on any of them.
Though of all of them, the old one is still the best.
 
hmm yea maybe try a black background on the new one and changing the letters to white with no shadow or glow.

Well...since you asked.
I think it would actually look better with not only a solid background, but also a different font. The typeface you're using doesn't seem to match the name much (in my opinion).
I would try playing around with some different fonts.
It feels like the gradients and glows you're using are trying to add something in an effort to make up for the 'plain' look of the font itself.

Just a thought.
You might want to look around www.dafont.com and see what options you can find.
Again, just my two cents.
 
Okay, here is one with less glow on the letters:

And on this one I removed the gradiant:

And on this one I took your advice hungrych, let me know what you think:

I must admit I am really digging the last one. I don't like the middle one much at all and the first one is much better than the one I have now. Let me know what you guys think, I appreciate all of your help!

Thanks,

Thanks, I appreciate any and all feedback. Take a look at the ones I just posted, and I will go see if I can find a better font.

Thanks again!
 
I agree. But do you still think it needs a different font? What kind are you thinking? I am looking, and there are lots of good ones, but I don't know what type would be best.

Thanks,
