Haha!  Yes, the smirking picture of Lucassen actually annoys me more than the banner.  LOL

I sort of hate it-I think the use of colors are garish and the way things were photoshopped looks needlessly amateurish. I like the banner of the guys from Moving Pictures carrying pictures of famous prog artists, actually, I don't know why that one wasn't used. I think it's sort of clever.
Heaven's made a cesspool of us all.

I agree.  This one draws you to the logo, and looks great.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

I think virtually every other 'earlier version' looks better than what was ultimately chosen. Just my opinion.

did you actually show it to a designer and ask for his opinion? Shocked

Kind of hard to create something and put it out before many people and not get those.

I think what I like most about this one is that there isn't much artwork that is readily identified as being from any particular artist.  But then, it's always possible I'm not familiar with artwork it was synthesized from.  In the end, the banner doesn't matter as much as the site content and utility anyway.  Is someone seriously going to run away because of the banner? LOL

If so, I'd suggest Abel work on something actually horrendous. Tongue

PA is a business. It has to be or it would shut down, this argument is ridiculous.
I guess you are right ConfusedLOL

is not business for most of us (the users), is entertainement and learning/research.

The site has to took professional though, and of course M@X makes money from it.

Anyway, he seems to like the banner, otherwise he wouldn't have changed it. He is now asking for how to improve it. (not in this thread, in the one he started.)
