I'm a fan of 2, 3, 8. However, the one I would choose for a banner would be #12. It's a nice simple concept of jumping, which we all know is important in parkour.

i like 7/8 and 11 the most.

i also dig 14, and to a lesser extent 3, but that's biased because they are mine.

By the way, I can change the picture used in eleven, if needed. Also, if by some odd chance it goes through, I'd like to be able to clean it up a bit.

2, 5, 10, and 12 are my favorites, not including 11.

I like #8 by Leon, but the typography / text placement is pretty bad ;]
Otherwise I would really like #6 if it had a different photo [like said.] So my vote is for #6.

APK has a very Clean and simple design.  I think number 12 matches the site the best while still conveying Parkour well.  11 and Leon's do the same as well.

yeah, 12 goes very well with current blue/white background of the site and blends well with the APK logo. 5 is also very clean too.

11 is mine, Zeus. I just don't have any pictures of myself, so I searched the APK picture database. Hope he doesn't mind.

Personally, I think I could clean up the logo itself a little bit more, lighted up the scan lines, and maybe put a different picture in. Possibly a different border as well.

Also, I like both of LeonN's, but I think they should be mixed. I enjoy the effect in the top right of #7, but I don't like the snow effect in it. And I like the words in #8 a bit more too.

Neon, I totally agree about Leon's, I would combine the two just as you said!

I really like #11,  aside from the yellow border. Looks nice! All the other ones are really good too but need a wee bit more in terms of editing.


Ahhh fine I'll combine them  Wink Thanks for the comments! I'll link to it here when im done.
