dave, You clearly misunderstood what I meant with depth. I’m not talking about some random effects on the fonts nor the background. I’m talking about the layout of the banner, at what position things are, what background that’s being used. Only some font effects doesn’t create any depth to a picture, only to the text.

Your opinion is that the banner shouldnt draw any attention to itself, but on the other hand, why have a banner at all then? Maybe just some text and the same BG color as the homepage. I believe a nice banner that draws attention to itself makes the homepage look professional, and makes the visitor interested at looking further into the homepage (if it’s a first time visitor that is). And I’m sure many of the banners that aren’t simple have a lot of thought behind them, not just some random layers and filter effects. But we all have different opinions of course!

Lose the gradients please.

Wow, this Kallio’s banner is literally half Russian.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5561243/etf2l2.png this is how the Kallio banner looks when added to the page.
doesnt look that bad but for my self something is missing on it and it looks a bit boring :D

Looks sick, Kallio sick :3

I like Kallio’s banner a lot as well. But why are there 21 stars? Why not 12 (number of stars on the Flag of Europe) or 27 (number of members of the EU right now)?

If you will add some stars behind “ETF2L”, there will be exactly 27. But for an aesthetic purpose they were removed.

So Kallios banner is defenetely best… BUT soldier should not look like that.
Its like div6 doing rocket jump. Must look like crouching while in air or just standing still.
