As many of you have seen, I changed the theme of The Traveller. The old one had lots of back end issues and this one is more SEO friendly. I need to fix it up and one of the first steps towards doing that is a new banner. And as per request by Bacon is Magic, I have spent a few hours in paint and accumulated these works of art. Although they aren’t as awesome as my paint essays, I can’t decide which one of the banners below is the one. So I’ve decided to let YOU choose for me. VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! Just write a comment below telling me which banner and slogan you like the most. I can switch up the slogans with the different backgrounds because I’m so f%^&ing talented.
Yes mom. Yes Dad. This is what 4 years of University level fine arts training has got me.
Banner #1
Banner #2
Banner #3

I vote for the green background and tequila. Thank you for your consideration.
I like tequila tagline but prefer the design of the crazy eye drawing below it
AND
I want to see more colour on this site
yes I’m a demanding reader
I’m working on it! One step at a time! Patience grasshopper…

Based on my exteeeeensive experience marketing websites*, I think “Questionable Travel Advice” is a funny catchphrase and useful tagline. The picture (an obviously-done-in-MS-paint self-portrait) is funny too. I also like the tequila one because it’s almost alliterative!
*this is a lie, I have no experience marketing websites.
Hhahahaha… thanks for your expert advise! If you like my self portrait you should read my paint photo essay on the things I love about home

I like the tequila one best! but prefer the colors used in banner 3 and 4….. is that possible?!
Anything is possible!
When you have paint! haha
Yup, I’m with the masses – banner 3 for sure, with either that tagline or the one about tequila.
Cox, y’know, tequila = awesome.
Tequila is awesome… can you imagine something that makes me even more crazy than I already am?… TEQUILA!AAA!!!AAAAA
I like them all! But I think the tagline needs some form of alcohol involved… that’s what traveling is all about right?
Yes, I do enjoy my boozing
#3! Go for #3!
#3.. .but.. the word awesomesauce kinda leans me to #4. But.. the artwork in #3 is pure Picasso.
Tell my parents that when they ask me why they paid for 4 years of art training haha
Ditto: #3 is perfect: colorful, droll, eye-catchy, and that “Questionable…” tag line is pure genius!
# 3 as is….or #3 with the wording from #2? They’re all cool for different reasons, of course.
Great job!
I agree with everyone else – banner 3 with the tequila bit!
Can we request MS Paint portraits?
That is such a GREAT idea! ON IT !
I gotta agree with Jeremy. Awesomesauce is awesomesauce! 😉 Cuz really what is awesome sauce?? It can be SO many things. Don’t just limit yourself to tequila or beer! 😉 Go with the power of awesomesauce!
As for the image. #3 is great. But I also love green! Maybe #3 with some green background and some awesomesauce…. or something like that… yeah…. =)
Hahaha “the power of awesomesauce” classic!
Banner 2 and 3 look good as the lettering all stand out well. And I’m with Ayngelina on wanting/ demanding more colour on this site.
I post a lot of photos on my site, and I feel they throw out more colour on the dark brownish background I use. I have another site, very light background,and post the same photo up and it’s lost. Just a photo. But the same photo on my “Holes’ site just looks so much better.
Jesus, you can hear Ayngelina’s whip all the way in Delhi. COLOR. NOW. 🙂
Yeah, so, #3 rocks and goes well with your taggy line. I like the drawing of the gal, not so sure about the background color. It sorta reminds me of tie-dye.
I vote for #3 with Tequila!
