i don't know how they would fit in with the layout
very odd sizes

[Jack Franklin]

I do though. Don't worry about layout, just which one do you think is best?

[alexgeek]

first i guess.
it really depends what the layout is like

[Jack Franklin]

I suspect it will be wordpress. Obviously I might have to change the logos depending on what happens.

1 is boring....2,3, 4 I absolutely love, but if I had to choose, I have to say 3.

[Lchad]

#1 looks a bit on the amateurish side.
#2 is too hard to read.
#3 very nice
#4 also very nice!

[Monie]

I like the #2, if you could put in some outline color to the text, it will be much more readable. maybe black color?

adding some drop shadow would be interesting?

[Jack Franklin]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm stuck between 3 and 4. I love 2, but it';s slightly hard to read. But I tried to make a new No2 which could be read, I failed, but it still looks nice!

I might take the colours of 3 and add them to 4. Hmm

Thanks for the suggestions!

I like the new one,
more clear

[Monie]

Thats what I am talking about.
Still the word TRICKERY seems still very hard to read..

[alexgeek]

Add some texture to the word "CSS" I think.

[Monie]

Or perhaps bevel and emboss...
That will make the text a 3d features...
and more readable.

bevel and emboss = bad
you can create same effect using darker and lighter blocks of colour

i like number 3,
would look better with a contrasting colour

Why and what do you mean by that?
What's wrong with bevel and emboss?

Well, that's just a suggestion to alexgeek. Maybe he has a better idea.
Overall, you have to do something with the text otherwise it will be hard to read.

[jtyoungs]

images that looked raised usually look really odd on screen unless there done in a certain way.

[welshstew]

I like number 3, but think it just needs re-arranging.

attached is a possible idea, the 'outside of the box' tag line is meant to be breaking out of the box (sorry only had 5 mins)

anyways, somthing along those lines to give it some 'action' might be the way to go.

or you may wish to switch the tag link to break out of the bottom of the box....

[welshstew]

how about something like this?

[Jack Franklin]

Wow guys thanks for all the suggestions. At school right now so obviously cannot do any editing but welshstew I love that green logo. I may well use that Thanks
