    I didn't even notice this had turned into a competition until now... I'll try and put up something.

    I really like the italian colored stripe in yours, but I like how the other logo does not use the pictures in the background, but separately -- to the side of the text.

    I've been a little busy with the server stuff, but right now I'm leaning towards the animated one from ForzaFerrari. Animated scares me a little, but I want to try for awhile.

    I really like that Ryan, but I would like to think of a way to show the diverstiy of the Ferrari cars by bringing in the street cars, like Waldos pic. I can't think of anyway to do it except animated. Although maybe have a really SLOW aniamtion, like 30 seconds that go through 5-6 dif models. I think Tillman could even be happy with that.

    I'm about ready to start uploading the Laguna pics again, should take 15 minutes.

    What about just having 3-4 different Fchat banners (same look, different cars) that rotate like the advertiser ones do?

    I could do that. Might be better actually. Is there anyway to randomize an animated gif so a particular one doesn't always show first? I don't think so.

    The Laguna images are back up...

    I like the one in your screen shot the best Ryan. Have 4 of those with a good mix of Ferraris and colors and we're golden!

    Maybe...

    of course I can make also 2 or 3 different ones, so you can put them in a PHP script, like the banners... whatever you want :)

    I was leaning towards yours, but right now I like Ryan's just a little better. I think mainly for something as stupid as the font. The font he uses really looks professional and "clear".

    Is your background transparent?

    The car is on a transparent background. The flag isn't. But it does look best on a white or light grey background. (no dark background).

    here two more then...with a different font. If you wish another font; that's fine by me :). I think different headers random in a php script is the best solution to show all kinds of different Ferraris (vintage, GT racing, F1 perhaps etc) ...

    I find both examples a bit boring. In my opinion they need a bit more class or speed. We must put ourselves above the thousands of other carsites. This image makes the first impression. Let's make it a good one!!!

    Don't get me wrong. I can't even draw a simple puppet and I really admire the work of these artists. But I think that Fchat deserves something that is a little bit better!

    Great post Ton,
    I have been thinking the same but my courage fell to post it.
    After I saw the amazing pic from Jim G.`s car pool....everything is getting boring beside this photo.
    Well, fchat is something very special and should show up very special.
