Great advertiser for the area

Joe, Nice effort to change things up. However, I think it is just a little busy graphically. The chopper in particular tends to overpower the readability of the name. Maybe a little smaller or in a different location.

It's a little busy

I liked the old one.

It is way to busy, the graphics are off and it doesn't really show what SBYNews is. The resolution isn't good either.

But it is better that what you had before.

Exactly what BackinBerlin said.

i think it's too busy and too "current news". i think you should have something simpler that would guarantee its relevance in the future.

how about letting people vote on several different options and see which is chosen? maybe you could invite creatively inspired readers to create and submit their own designs and choose one or let the readers vote on one of the submitted. a prize of a sbynews tshirt for the winning header would be pretty nice.

just a thought.

do you need the weather bug however? its slows the site down sometimes.....

I saw the one that was busy and I just saw the one that is more simple with Joe's pic... I like the simpler one...just seems to stand out more and catch your eye. Great job!

Havent been on too much today since I'm outta town this weekend. I noticed the banner as soon as I pulled up the page. LOOKS GREAT!!!

I liked the old one too but change is good now and again

Terrible. Nothing graphically pleasing. What you had before wasn't great either, but, better than that.

"Too Busy"? That is the biz. Love the pimp look!

I think it's very selfish considering you also have contributors.

you should hold a contest for the design, and let us submit ideas.

Don't like it. The old was better. Simple was more to the point, this looks wayyy too flashy.

And no offense, but I don't want to look at you every time I open this up.

Too "out there" and in your face. I feel like I am watching a Current Affair or something. The other was way better.

I love it! :)

Agree with 9:56

I like the old one better. It just worked graphically. The embossing doesn't really do the banner justice.

how about Barrie's face in one of those "no" red circle thingies. a la Ghostbusters?

I like the new look. Very professional-looking.

Either way is fine. This way it seems to make the page load slower and for some reason I had to adjust my firewall to get the top to show.

A pretty lady would be nice

My opinion, long narrow shot of some historic/river/woods/park(your horses in the paddock) type of thing, with Salisbury News superimposed, then at the side
like a magazine, the photo of you Joe, with your comment on the side.
(a better photo of you would be good too)

The first change was too "Alex Jones" This is better even though you have a good face for radio, Joe! :)

Awful. I think I liked the old one way better. It does not convey the sense of a news organization at all. Looks like something that was whipped up in Microsoft Paint. What's the point of having your face on it? Spend a few bucks and have a designer do it for you.

Joe it may scare small children buddy.

The other one was a little busy, but liked the general direction that you were heading in. A good graphics person could make the concept work well. The one that's up today is all about you. I thought you had moved away from that and more to news.

Don't like it - sorry. kinda boring

I like it.......... very cool.

I like the one you had with Fernando on it. It was a little busy, but that could be fixed.

A pic of Fernando (positive)
One of courthouse (positive & negative, newsy)
A fire with FFs (negative and positive, newsy)
The park (positive, even though under siege)
And something else negative and newsy

The ups, the downs, the news.

I don't like the vanity pic of Joe with the condom balloon lettering.

Nothing wrong with your looks, Joe, but it looks too ego driven, and that's the one complaint I hear about this blog, even by other supporters.

Use the font form the header that you tried this morning with some of the graphics on this one. Replace the firefighter with Fernando's photo, take the eagle out and move the chopper to the right side of the benner. Keep the graffiti. The firefighter one isn't sharp enough to work with an edgy graphic and with the eagle gone it's less cluttered. Just a thought.

The one with fernando looks great!

I don't know how many there have been, but I like the one that is on there as I'm typing this. Very eye catching and much better than the original.
