OK, if I'm going to say something critical, you did represent at least one artist more than once.  The color scheme works really well with the front page though.  I'd like to see another version that includes something from each of the subs.

Why not have a couple of different versions of the banner, then rotate them randomly so as to add some variety to the front page? Plus, it would appease any potential objections to this new look by not having it remain a constant feature.


Sounds like a good idea for a contest to me, like this blog, they had made contest or invite designer to make new headers so every time you enter you will see a diferent one.
 I did several version of banners that Max can use as header as well I think. what you dothink max?

Heh.  Reminds me of when hip-hip artists aspired to be "phat" and "stoopid".
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

I'm afraid I'm with the dissenters here Max -

Although I am a fan of Abel's work, I don't think it works as a site logo; the older one was more crisp, and (dare I use such a horrid expression) a sharper brand identity ().

Sorry Max (and Abel) - don't like it.

Thanks for your comments and suggestion.

About the popular artists + alpha list in a drop down, I will check what I can do, thanks

About having multiples banners, random.. I prefer a perfect and unique header design that define PA and prog as we understand it, in a single creation.

Will discuss with Abel now...

More later, thanks
Prog On !

I like the idea of a header revamp but as commented the new one is very attractive but maybe a bit contrived, would prefer something more sophisticated, less obvious and symbolic.? Confused

 
 along the lines of this one...

Not to be argumentative, but what you're describing . . . I don't think a collage captures that. A perfect and unique banner was what we already had before the change. Now, we have a bunch of different pieces of artists that not everyone would agree define 'prog' for them. 

Not saying to take it down, and I've already told Abel I enjoy his work . . . just giving more opinions. Embarrassed

It is absolutely impossible to define prog as we understand it in a single image, much less in a 1000x100 banner. If you take an average of 10 bands from each subgenre and condense PP/PR, that is 200 images you have to somehow work into that space, and even then some people will still feel left out. As for clearly defining PA, might I suggest removing all of the things around the PA logo?
