are now in one of the helmets on the left, or was that always there? That's cheesey looking; me no likey. The revision to the M letter size is better, but either put the real banner's tag-line on the bottom or vertical justify the MGOBLOG. Meh, whatevs. I still voted for it over the "Bo-Centric" one (but of course).

Well, I guess the only way to keep this even remotely close is to completely sell out.  You Yvengi fans may be interested in my new version... http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee219/UMTailgate/donhelfrichbanner2.jpg
