No offense to #1′s designer, but how is that one winning??? The black background reads as heavy and unfriendly to me, whereas #3 is minimal but visually engaging–just like whip-up! :)

I disagree with Lanaiej and am disappointed with the options. Where is choice number 9 – none of the above? I am saddened that this was the best to choose from. Just my opinion, had to share.

This was a really tough decision. All of these banners are great and creative! Kudos to the designers!

There is absolutely no reason for this vote. Number 3 is a clear winner! ;-)

I liked #2 best, but I don’t know what that thing with the rings is behind the first tag and it looks like a bone or ivory version of brass knuckles, so I had to go with #7.

and FWIW, I had no trouble figuring out which banner I was voting for in either poll. Maybe it’s because I’m a graphic designer ;)

I can only view design #1, did it win?

Brenda, what is up with the pissy tone of telling the fabulous folks who put this together —for our free viewing pleasure— that something is not distinctly visible with what it’s number is??
Would the world end if you brought it to their attention assuming the horrible misdeed was not intentional & that they were not aware of the problem?
….oooh that’s right, must be the squeaky/rude wheel gets the attention theory.

Yes…Quite! I’m also relieved to find that my least favorite is no longer winning..lol.

I have to say WOW! I am sort of shocked by the level of vitriol and angst over this. I have have – hopefully fixed the problem now. Is it any clearer?

I have to agree, it wouldn’t be terribly difficult to adjust the layout of the banners and their captions a little bit. Personally I think the labels should be above the banner they refer to, but changing that now will possibly just confuse voters further!

It’s a good point – I’ve voted for the wrong one this time despite knowing which label went with which banner. Can’t change my vote (from 2 to 3) but it doesn’t look like it’s going to make a difference at the moment.
