|  Question! (Or: Why I Am Not a Graphic Designer)
Hey guys, Looking at my site here: Internet Marketing Weekly News | Weekly Reports | Experienced Marketing Which icon set do you think most matches the current design? Meaning it'll look like part of the layout yet manage to draw attention to itself (but not in that screaming fashion!). Set 1: Royalty Free Stock Photo Image: plastic fellow - business icons | iStockphoto.com Set 2: Royalty Free Stock Vector Art & Illustrations: rectangle icons - business | iStockphoto.com Set 3: Royalty Free Stock Vector Art & Illustrations: simple icons - business | iStockphoto.com Or does anyone have other icon set suggestions in mind? ~ Sirius |

No. 2. 1 is too kitschy and 3 is lacking in oomph. Good luck! ~D. |

I kind of like #3. But I suppose #1 goes well with your current layout. The plastic guys sort of gel with the white figure on your header. ~ Farihan |

Looks like 3 is pretty much out so far. So, set 1 or set 2? ~ Sirius |

If it were me, I would jump on number 1 and maybe change my site to flow with them. I think they're unique, not cartoonish at all and say, "WOW! - Too Cool!" I noticed you've got something along those lines in your header so maybe contacting the original designer for some customer work to blend everything together would be worthwhile. Sets two and three are nice, but pretty typical of what you see everywhere. If you want to stand out and grab visitor's attention, you need to be different. You want to visually demonstrate that your service is not like the rest of them and it follows that your information will stand apart as well. But that's me - I like to stand out, hehehehe. |

Hi Sirius, I'm siding with BIG Mike on choosing the first set. It's working together with your site design as well as standing out by themselves. I'd throw my vote with #1. Asher |
