Just tweaked it a bit. Switched the tagline back and spruced up the text and logo on the left a tiny bit. No shiny ones here, but still undecided on orange or blue.

Just decide between the 4 of you, and get it up on the Linux Journal site, keep all the others and look for ways to work them into the new site that you mentioned wanting to build. There are great ones to choose from, I don't see anything wrong with the hosts making a decision from the community responses.

I seem to remember, Chess asking for something similar when he redesigned his website, and he made the final call, which I happened to agree with, but hey it is his show, and TLLTS is your show, we just appreciate being part of the community.

I still want one of those shirts. I think "Linux Talk. Unfiltered." is a brilliant description of the show, too.

I guess I need to wait until all entries are in. I like this one too.

@heathenx,

I think the new text is a big improvement. It's looking very good.

One thing to note however, is that the top banner on the Linuxjournal site is a lot smaller than your posted image. You might think about enlarging the show info text on the right side to maintain readability if the whole thing gets shrunk.

I think I remember the banner add being something close to 750px x 90px from a screenshot I took, but don't take that as gospel.

Ah, I see. I wasn't sure what the requirements were. My banners are about 1024x150. I think width is more important than height since the width has to fit inside of the page envelope while height just moves the content downward.

Perhaps one of the moderators (tllts guys) could post the requirements for the rest of us. Until then, if I make another concept, I'll try 750px x 90px.

Thanks rfquerin.
