Hi,
I think we should make a choice now (seeing the deadline was yesterday)... During our last discussion we narrowed the selection to:
http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Themes/fedora12-banner_1-rounded.png http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~brejc8/temp/banner.png
Although they are both designed as release counters, we agreed that just changing the text would be ok. Or could we cycle between those two on our websites? Plus I noticed mythcat add his alpha banner [1] on the wiki [2] -- should we reconsider it (well, the sword in it might be a problem, but otherwise it's a pretty good design)?

I've just quickly updated them for Alpha release [1]. Feel free to improve/comment on them. Charlie's version was sort of harder to fit the text into, so I had to omit the 'now' word and arrow.

I like Taticas most :) Think it's sweet.

Are these intended to say something like "Fedora 12 Alpha"? Are you simply asking about the graphical design as opposed to the text?

Yup, something like that. I used "Fedora 12" and "Constantine Alpha".

Both, although the design is not mine (just the text positioning/sizing)...

Both are good but my personal preference is for Charlie's, due to its "antique" look, I find it a welcome break in our tradition (we voted on IRC a couple of weeks ago and the result was close 4 for Charile's and 3 for Tatica's, IIRC).

Is the chosen one ready for the Alpha release tomorrow, then?

I really like Charlie's but I wasn't totally happy with the lettering, so I did a version with different lettering, I hope it's okay:

Not sure if I am just not up2date with the ones responsible for putting it up but if it's not the case, this one seems to be quite ready:

If we are going with this, it must be forwarded to the website people, who have an early "statue with sword" image from Paolo.

my laptop is having weird issues. I sent a mail last night about this and somehow it sat in my outbox until now.
i wasn't happy with the typography in Charlie's otherwise excellent graphic so I made a revision, I hope it's ok

Hi Duffy, I really like the way you set the text up - this is now my favorite :)

I pushed Charlie into using serif fonts and Roman numerals for a more "antique" look but the text in your version is more readable.

Plus, thanks to it being shorter than the usual Alpha banner text ("Can't stand the wait? Fedora 12 Alpha, now available =>") it much better occupies the space :-)

Nicu, I don't think it's a good idea to use Serif-fonts and roman numbers in a banner - it doesn't look good or slick. Fedora should be a modern, slick and nice distribution - also when we use our "roman"-like theme :)

I already acknowledged Mo's remix is more readable.
On top of that, it has conflict (modern text over a classic background) which usually is better for a work of art: conflict is good, it draws attention and make people think about the subject.
