1. That is good.
I think the color scheme needs some work, but the idea is great.

2. talk to me on color....
wanted something that would stand out/contrast. I wasn't thrilled with the white letters on yellow (abiet with black outlines), I'm open to suggestions.

5. I'd use a bright, medium dark blue instead of yellow....
yellow makes the white letters hard to read, IMO.

Nice job.

15. I agree with the above post.
A bright blue would work better than the yellow. A dark blue or dark red would work better than the black. It will look less stark, and the colors will look better together.

3. Good
That is nice. I would not be the person to ask about color or design, but if you do jazz it up make sure the print is not obscured by the background. Sometimes they are difficult to read fast.

4. that's why I did yellow/black...
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 05:08 PM by Rosco T.
bright and attract attention. It DOES look better full sized, there black outline/shadow on the white letters set it off better that the small picture shows.

6. I like it...
as for the color scheme, may try red, white & blue? Keep this one too though, maybe offer a variety of colors for different tastes? :shrug:

8. All black background
But the top portion has bright yellow letters, bottom portion as you have it with white letters.

Yellow and black is the most visible combination of colors.

13. I'm not a sir
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 06:02 PM by MaineDem
Are you only looking for male responses?

But if it doesn't matter, I agree that the white on yellow is difficult to read. How about black on the yellow?

Oops, sorry, I missed Version 2. I think it's too much text. What if you make the third line a tad smaller?
