Second Attempt at Edinburgh Inn Banners

This time I'm giving you three choices. I tweaked the original just a little and created two others.

Which one do you like best and how would you make it better?

I want to thank you for expanding my computer knowledge!

<---B




The main reason that I picked it was the brighter sky. As a country boy, the simple Inn appealed to me.

B is kind of cool on the left. I would fade that image to zero on the right and make it a solid color and then go with sort of a fancy lettering on top with tinier lettering on the bottom that was more block.

Definitely "A"

Maybe it's the urban upbringing in me that finds the 30th floor view of a city not as serene or as personal or as in-depth as compared to the country-style, close-up view of "A" building (that is, just 1 building up close as oppose to a panoramic view of the tops of many buildings).

I like "B" with the lettering of "A" - you need to make the width about 700 pixels or so - may be already - could not tell...seems too wide.

The left hand side of A is too dark
B would certainly look better with the right hand side of A, but equalise the space given to the image and the lettering.
C- nah!- yuk!

Just my

"B". I like the stuff on the right better on B as well. Idon't mean the lettering, I mean the background.

You can't have an olde English Pub and call it the Edinburgh inn.

Sure you can. You call the olde English Pub the Edinburgh Inn.

Ivan's correct. We're aiming at the broader evangelical. Hoping that they will be drawn to the meat of the Word, then before you know it, poof, they're Calvinists. [Hey: a man can dream, can't he?]

...And another one.

First: Thanks for indulging me on this matter!

Second: Here are the latest attempts. I've tried to incorporate some of your suggestions along with feedback from the other folks involved with The Edinburgh Inn.

What think ye of these?

Hi Southern. I'd say either D or E. I like the coffee and bible part of E. The images of the reformers in D are good. To many good choices.
