No problem, I see that the entire code was removed by Wordpress - if you’ve interested at any point just let me know!

So I admit, I couldn’t punch out a banner in time because I couldn’t find a photo of people talking at the water cooler ( i envisioned a banner where people would be talking at the water cooler (rambling) with a water drop/ripple effect in the background - kind of representing how the ramblings at the water cooler have a ripple effect, but I digress . . . .I agree with Danielle that I like the current one the best, but I think it can be improved (with water coolers and ripples :)) . . . haha . . . I wonder who’s gonna win!

current one for sure. it seems like the most personal one. i think it has the best branding too. i agree with Tim and Slave about the stock photos in the other banners - personally i think it looks kinda cheesey. the current one does look clean, in a Gap sense. just sharpen the image, as Tim says. and definitely don’t rotate.

and yes i am a geek and i love office space, but there are a lot of people who have never heard of it. unfortunately.

Took me about 30 minutes? #5 is mine. I slapped the circles/spheres together on illustrator, exported it out to photoshop, processed the TV screen effect and put the photos/text on it, and then spherized the C and the R again (although with the C it’s hard to tell).

Andthen my second entry way down took another 15 minutes to get another shape (that funky line thing on the corner) from illustrator, rid of the photo/TV screen filter, and boom.

It’s not that we do not like the reference, we see it as a possible copyright violation.

Emm guys.. It’s web 2.0 time! Looking at some of the banners it looks like we are going backwards in time. Don’t use stock images! They really suck Try something new, don’t be afraid of eye catching colors. Try dock icons/illustrations etc. 3d reflections, glass style and so on.

I voted for ‘current’ banner, because It’s the only one I like (still it’s not as good as it could be).

Cheers
