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!

No. Too antiquated. My first reaction is Superman vs The Hulk

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.

Wow! Such negative response.

I do agree artwebster about the lightning part.

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.

Will you stick around and see my modification of it?

I just want to see the result this time

BTW I was thinking of Hulk when I was creating this header - LOL

I agree with Alex. something simpler and quieter would work better.

My tought exactly

A nice scaring hulk to roar next to it

It reminds me of kids toys. And I think that the color choice of the words fits with the words

[DELETED]

I like the feedback guys - that is exactly what I need.

I am open to both sides - marketers and designers

I want to hear both sides of the coin that spins here on WF

The second one is much better than the first.

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

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.

Also TBH with you everyone here is going to have a different view. Your never going to please us all so stop trying to ha ha!

@ Qulist what are your thoughts on it?

At the end of the day its your header after all ha ha

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.

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

This is a nice 3D effect you have going here. In my opinion it's much improved from the first version that you posted.

Perfect Quilst:

Very much better nice and simple, go for it.

good enough, you can always split test it later. go for it

i'd like to see the latest one in context

I would choose the last one. My favorite !
Nice and simple

Well, This is a nice improvement and shows that you are able to change things quite well.

Without a web site to see, this would probably be acceptable but maybe the Rubics cube could be bigger and better defined and you are still having problems with shadows.

hi there
on its own, the header doesn't do much for me, it may be the color gradient.
For the gradient you are using, try this:
instead of black long the top, use green, it will show the 3d and give more definition to the blockiness of it. right now it just looks messy, define the top edges and you will see a significant change!

While I'm sure Artwebster doesn't need me to defend him - he's added some very thoughtfull comments to this thread and you're latest response to him seemed very rude to me - smiley notwithstanding.
