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.

My favorite is #8 Leon's "Move as One".
I also really liked 2, 3, and 10.

Great work guys!

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.

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.

Nice work Leon, looks great!

I vote for Leon's new and improved pic.

Edit:
After looking at a bunch of these again, I think it'd be cool to rotate them ocasionally because their are so many good designs.

(#7, free) - great composition!  i'd prefer it without the grain and text on the left and i like the more contrasty logo color used in #8.  i can see some photoshopped motion trails really spicing this one up.  (a la those nokia ads UF did: http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/media/images/asid_large.jpg)




LeoNn edits: I am SOOO Sorry but I accidentally hit the "Edit" button instead of "Quote" and started writing my reply. I then hit save and didn't realize I didn't make a new post until I couldn't find mine... then I saw yours and I Was like uh oh...

I had the quote copied onto my clipboard so at least that one was there, please forgive me for erasing the rest if you remember what you wrote please write it again!

#9 #11 #12  are very good  because you cant really identify the person so its a good general representation of parkour.


I like #10 alot but theres too many pictures to really focus on  so  you just gloss over it.
