Simple question, and if yes or no - why?

Personally, I'd go with something quieter ![]() If I ever design a new cover, graphic, or header, I used to spend hours fiddling with some complex design, only to realise that simple never fails and is almost always best. I now go with simple first every time and lose those wasted hours on OTT stuff. |

It's a bit difficult to say without seeing how it looks on your site. However, I'd agree with Alex's comment - it's a bit loud for me! Andy |

It's a virulent green that makes many people want to throw up. It is over bright and should really be hanging outside a knocking shop to make it difficult to recognise the punters going in and coming out. Another problem you have is that shadows that go both ways with no apparent light source are very uncomfortable to observe - even with only one eye. Apart from that, I don't like it. |

I can't say that I like it much. For many of the reasons Art gave. But whether it's a good header or not would depend on the type of site it's intended for. I'm probably going to show my age here by using incorrect slang . I guess it could be a good header if it's to be used on some kind of punk site or some site with a funky purpose. With a black background and green text or something. (I don't visit these sites myself. The subject doesn't appeal to me and I can't read them anyway! ) Maybe you should ask someone around 12 years old if they like it - you'll probably get a more relavent opinion.

Nope, don't like it one bit. If I saw a website with header like that, I would click away in a heartbeat. Sorry, brutal honesty. Good luck though on the next version. |

Sorry, but I don't like it. The ending after the word fun, didn't seem to make sense to me. Although I got what you are trying to say by adding it at the end like that.

I'd have to agree with Andy1750, it's a bit hard to say without seeing how it fits in with your website, and what content is on it. I like the concept of how you present "FUNonemom"...very clever If the main premise is "time for fun" then I picture a header that would be more reflective of fun...a little more "whimsical" with colors that "play" together. This one seems too "dark-sided" (unless that what's kind of fun it's about ). bj |

Time 4 Funomenon can make sense if you tie it into the Hulk theme. At first when I looked at it, I knew you ment " phenomenon " but it seemed corny and didn't really make much sense. However, now that you are going to put pictures of the Incredible Hulk to it, it will definitely flow well! |

Your new graphic is nicer. It has almost child-like features to it. I didn't like, " Sky's the limit." I think you could leave that off. It looks better without it. |

well...the coloring in the second just doesn't do anything for me...comes up a strange khacki-pea green on my computer...and the combo with the red makes me think of a sickly christmas. i liked the gradient-style on the first time4fun...just needed to maybe be a little lighter.

I like the second one better but still not perfect mate. As the person above stated the colour scheme is very christmasy. But you're definitly getting there mate. Have a little play and yor get it for sure, with out a doubt the second is better but you can still improve it. PS TBH with you I didn't know you were try to get phenominum with the thrase funominum.... But TBH I'm not the most sharpest tool in the tool box ha ha ha! Good luck mate Steve M |

just curious...what are the sites main colors? If you are going for a "dark" & "gaming" approach, maybe something kinda sci-fi-ish (lol like the first...just not all green)?

2nd much better - i agree with the christmas comment though. dump the 'sky is the limit'... Time 4 Fun conveys the message (i assume that i'm about to have some fun now?) it doesn't need the distraction of a suffix. |

| doesn't do it for me - i prefer to let my imagination fill in the blanks after i see a word like fun. less is more with this title. kid with a yoyo does not strike me as fun. of course, if you're about to offer me a yoyo, then that's an appropriate filter i guess. |

what about a blue line behind...or a blue line with the green time4fun from the first graphic...or a yellow-orange gradient time4fun. the time4fun just seems too drab/bland in one color. also...input from my young "gamers"--the guy with the yo-yo looks more like he's bored than having fun.

Ok, the one with the dude in it is OK for me except his shadow bothers me. The light source is coming from above on the text and the dude is casting a shadow all wrong. The shadow should be on the ground at his feet. Rich Scherlitz |

Just go with it then send us the link to the site once its all done! It doesn't take much to entertain me! Maybe some 3d text and a 2d man with a shadow playing with a 3$ YOYO! A rubics cube would of been so much more fun |

Your header seems okay but overall must be matching in order to blend the entire website. Seeing the header will be hard to tell if your site will be totally blended. Anyway, I like 3D effect. |
