New Website, new banner

[Ryan Dognaux]

I think it looks great, just take out the FIRST logo. It's distracting as is, everything else looks smooth and together, and then there's just this block with the FIRST logo in it that looks out of place.

If you do not want to get rid of the FIRST logo, you may want to consider replacing it with the version that has black & grey font and a white background. I think this will blend better with the rest of the logo.

Overall, great job with the design!!

Believe it or not, FIRST has been trying to distance themselves from the name "U.S. FIRST" for a while now. That's still representative of their legal name (United States Foundation for the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), and their URL (because http://www.first.org* is someone else), but for every other purpose, they're just FIRST now. So that marquee in the top left ought to be amended.

*Wow, they (the other FIRST) finally got a new website....

I agree with Ryan and artdutra... If the FIRST logo wasn't in there, it would look sooo much better. Other than that, it is nearly artistically perfect. Attention is drawn right where it needs to be, the name.

I like this banner. It looks very cool while still looking clean and professional. Great work.

As it was said above, though, make sure you follow the FIRST Logo Standards.

Very good looking and professional....i agree with the person who said take to first logo out all together...i see the contrast of the first logo and the whole banner make me want to look at the logo and i cant seem to take my eyes off it...very nice otherwise

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments, I'll try to change the banner accordingly and repost .
