The idea behind the banner was brand recognition. I didn't want anything annoying, just simple and elegant.
What do you think?

It was designed by http://jaunarajs.com

Id have no problems displaying that on our website for $100 a year :-).

Very cool banner.

I think it's very elegant. When I was giving my opinion on the wokadoo.com banner a few days ago you banner could have been exactly what I was talking about *lol* Simple, elegant, professional and loads like lightning. As it's a first thing many people see of your company it's either going to get them, or not.. no second chances. That one you have there is very good, and would get my attention enough to give it a poke, due to it's 'class'

And you struck upon the best way to get attention without offending... the scrolling highlight! Just enough motion to catch the eye, but thankfully light years away from the <blink> look.

Thanks Greg and Technics for your comments and complients. I'm glad it conveys the message I was looking for. Of course all of the credit goes to the designer.

Very striking banner. Really like it!

Excellent first impression, then the 'scrolling' letters got my attention further. Please convey my congratulations to the designer on his efforts.

And I'll second Eddie on displaying that banner for $X/year!

Thanks BC, I'll be sure to pass on the compliments to Janis.

I may have to take you guys up on your offer to display it. I haven't quite decided who to go with for advertising. There is a lot that I don't know about banner advertising and I have much to learn. :look:

The banner is awesome!! It has all the qualities a banner should have :) Fast, Neat, elegant and ofcourse simple! :)

A job well done! ;)

Thanks Kunal.

Very sharp, great work

Downright awesome! Very classy without being pushy!!
