    ene, confused. Your input will be greatly appreciated. How do you choose the winner? let say A created the best logo, B created the best 468x60 banner and C created the best skyscraper banner?

    Thanks for the job, but with the exception of one, won't be able to use these designs this time.
    Some feedback-

    Dancam-
    The banner is a bit too wordy and not eye catching enough.
    We would have liked to see the hotels.com logo as well.

    KevinChristman
    Not bad, but, the animated banner could be a little more flashy.
    The logo was to go on our current header of our site. I am not sure we need to introduce a fourth color (orange) into the page.
    Skyscraper we like- can you use the logo from their site though?


    zinruss
    Banner- Really does not work with the site.
    Logo- I like the graphic, but logo reads HoustonPreCruise. Also font is to techy.

    [x[x]x]
    Colors clash with site, introduces a new shade (orange). Not the style we were looking for.

    Perhaps we can work together in the future.
    Thanks
