Check the New Header

I finally got around to working up a new header graphic. How's it look?

I like it.

Is that spraypainting some of Aidan's handy work, since, you know, he was flashing gang signs in a previous photo?

Now you just need to update your template colors to work with the new logo.; 8:01 PM

AJ said...: Thanks for the comments - I think I'll probably keep playing around with it, but getting a little feedback helps with the test drive. Lindsay says, "it doesn't communicate 'bittersweet.'" Hmmm.

The orange is a basic background filter with a few Photoshop adjustments, but the blue was a shot of sky and clouds, "posterized."; 5:48 PM

AJ said...: I do agree with the previous comment about changing the colors to match it though. Particularly the header link color.

I'm wondering if I'm seeing what you're seeing, especially if you're using Internet Explorer. In Firefox, the header text shows up as white/gray...so the difference isn't very pronounced. How's it look to you?

Thanks for mentioning it!; 2:21 PM

Nice work, John. You picked up on the "symbolism" of my admittedly conceptual graphic. No doubt the realization was all the sweeter for having tarried. ;)

Thanks for the help, Douglas. I'm going to have to spend a little more time under the hood...; 11:48 AM
