Or you could stick to the general Acmlmish type with the normal font banner, the normal quote font, and use a 3Dish border and not use a green glow around the characters.
Hell, you could probably get away with using a slightly modified version of the Circut BG. |

It looks alright, but without a lot of work put into it. First off I suggest using an actual circuit panel as the BG. Second, the green glow doesn't really look good. And third, it needs more 3D effects. They're pretty simple to do. For the text, give it a shadow by duplicating it, turning the copy entirely black, and placing it behind the original but down and right a few pixels. (Look at the pic at the top of my layout.) Then for the image, give it a 'button' look like the original, by making the top a lot lighter, the left lighter, the right a lot darker, and the bottom darker, for about 5 pixels on each. Don't let the actual characters leak into this border.
Kwanzaa: That actually makes the text look pretty cool. |

Whether you did or you didn't, a similar filter was likely used. Anyway, this is turning into a flame war so uh...
I guess the banner is decent, it actually DOES look ok, I just don't think very much effort was put into it, that's all. |

BTW, I didn't use craquelur or whatever its called. |

See, the problem is, it took me about 2 minutes to analyze that, and I'm not much of a Photoshopper. |

Well, I think it looks awesome. Good job Kario.
If you have that much time to analyze the picture, you have too much time. You can do that with the most basic pictures or the most advanced. Just have to take the TIME. |

Saving index.php in the circuit theme as an html file and replacing the banner with yours doesn't look too great. Also, your effects are extremely basic. You cut out the characters, gave them a semi transparent green stroke, and slapped them on a greenish background with the filter craquelure or whatever its called. Then some minor tweaking on the bevel settings for the main title, and an inner shadow for the slogan. If its that easy to identify what you've done, there wasn't a whole lot of effort put into that, plus it doesn't look too great to begin with. |

I wanted to make this. Probably won't be used, but hey, I felt like making it.
