    The colors are all too similar. Nothing jumps out at me. The message is not delivered instantly. The font for Textoozle is too hard to read.

    Is your message "GO" ? If it isnt, why is go in the middle and the first thing my eye goes to? I would rethink this banner. Try to decide what you message is and focus on that. And use colors that dont all blend together and match - which is pleasant looking but you arent painting your house - you are creating an advertisement.

    well... i would definitely start by making the cell phone more prominate and maybe making a watermark of the globe very faint behind it. i would also take "free worldwide text messaging" and place it below your company name and maybe put something slightly enticing about your service. i know when it comes to the cell phone industry, you're better off not being very superlative "best text messaging," "free!!!!", stuff like that. you just have to kinda think, people trust larger companies, especially when it comes to something like a cell phone simply because of the scams that are happening with charges, etc. i would also make it a point to try to make the banner "flow" into the rest of your websites layout, theme cause you want people to be able to put the two together "so to speak".

    questions:
    where is this banner going to be displayed (url)
    what do you have going on as far as "identity" on your current site?
    do you have to meet size requirements; i.e; WxH ?

    if your at all interested, i can see what i can do to help you out further...

    take care

    not very eye catching. I'm a gfx designer who could do a custom banner for you for $20 if interested. My AIM is Sk8boardLlama and email is

    about your banner... somewhat dull. Nothing exciting. Don't like the drop shadow on the text, it doesnt fit well. The graphic is average but again, doesnt stand out. 4/10 overall.

    The colors are nice although I wouldnt use that color blue in the beginning of Textoozle.

    Also I think that the GO is unnecessary, or maybe out of place. It seems to be the focal point of the banner although I'm not sure you meant for it to be.

    If you want to build up your brand, you'll have to redo your company name "Textoozle". Bad font choice (hard to read) and the white stroke makes it even harder to read. Your background also needs something to keep people's eyes moving, a simple pattern is enough.

    Take a look at these banners for some inspiration. Always keep in mind you need to CATCH and MAINTAIN visual interest.

    It took me a while to work out what "Textoozle" said, and what it's about needs to jump out. The banner is too cluttered, and too blue.

    Although a lot of people like the colour blue, it's a calming colour and therefore no good for an advert. It doesn't encourage anyone to take notice, or to click. The only time blue stands out is on a completely monochrome page.

    I'm sure someone has said something like this already but here I go :

    - change the colors for the word between the pic of the cell and the word "go", i have good vision and it's hard for *me* to tell what that is/says

    - don't use a cursive font

    - the star thing behind the word go could use some tweaking

    - the word free should be in a different color, maybe red

    best wishes

    Background color doesn't look nice, try with black or some darker shade of blue :)

    you should use a bit more variation of color. If that was on a webpage it just wouldn't stand out to me, sorry. Needs to be more eye catching to make it a good banner.
