Critique my new banner please.. | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Friends, all along I diligently critique your sites and designs. Can you please critique mine this time? 

Is it better than the previous one, if you happen to remember that one?

Also there's slight changes like background and menu etc. 

I like the way the penny looks.  I am not a fan of purple and I question your reasoning for putting a circle on the right side. It almost looks like you had nothing else to put there.  Is there a specific reason or meaning to why you put that there?

I think this is much better than the previous logo. I missed the different versions but I like this one – it is clean and sharp.

SB – I think this is 10x better than the last one. The only suggestion I had was to try a subtle border (giving your eyes a place to stop) but it looks like you had one, then removed it. 

I like your tagline – "Towards Betterment" (assuming no one confuses you w/ the investing website – betterment). I favor it over the previous…."…invest smartly" – I think it was.

For zero cost, I would say this is as good as you can get.

unrelated: Check on the rates page, a few of the checking packages have incorrect yields.

I like this one better than your previous banner.  Nice job!  I like the penny as your O in One Cent.  Can't put a finger on it, but not feeling the two purple circles.  How did it look to you without them?  Overall, much improved from before.  But that's just my two cents. 

Thanks all for your valuable feedback. I think I will go with all white current look. 

SFI rightly said, given my pillars are saving and earning more than investing, more over the theme is 'getting ahead at slow and steady pace', I don't need a slick look or an image. 

Also my favorite blogs PF have all chosen to remain as ordinary as possible. 

@corey, the tag line tells the readers what to expect. So I want to keep it, but willing to change, question below

@buck, the circles add a little bit of color on otherwise dull look. Still working towards removing and then comparing

@funancials, I am now think about "The Getting Ahead Blog" as the tag line.

So its a decision between "..Towards betterment" and "The getting Ahead Blog"

Any preference.

Thanks Andrea, I checked that but shorter one is looking better.

Thanks Jai, got that logo. Comparing now.

Sure thing.  If you need me to change something or put a little more Yakezie love in it just let me know.
