Arising only has one "R"..

Pictures are pretty good. What did you make those with?

Pretty cool...I liked the 3rd one most, I guess because it's sort of a
sinister image and the stars add a whimsical quality which fits the
pumpkins.

I like #3 the best. I wouldn't use the Mellon Collie font with the Arising
font, though. Stars are cool.

Number 5 is the one I liked the most. :)

I liked #3 best, and I thought #6 and #5 were pretty cool too..

Definitely 3, btw it's always a good idea to only use one font.
Kinda reminds me of A Clockwork Orange

I definitley prefer the darker orangish hue in 1, 5, and 6. I think the yellow
in 2, 3, and 4 is a little too bright.

I like the border around the text field, which everyone of them has except 2.

Some people have suggested not using two different fonts for the text, but I
think that since you have the text clearly seperated it still works. I like
the "The" centered above "Smashing" in 1 and 6 because it almost defines the
front part of where Billy's neck would be. However, I do think the text is too
cramped in 6, I would suggest either elongating the bottom of the image to
allow for more space or dropping "The Arising Tour" so there is more space (as
in number 1).

I like the white shape that defines the back of Billy's neck in 2, 3, 4, 5, and
6 but which is absent in 1. I think this shape helps ground Billy's head,
which seems somewhat disembodied in 1.

Personally, I don't think the stars work well in 3 (though it may just be there
placement), and I think the black border is a little to heavy. I prefer the
thinner borders in 1, 4, 5, and 6. I also like the borders where the color
goes all the way around the image (like in 1, 3, 5, and 6).

If I was to choose a favorite out of the six images, I'd pick number 6. If I
was to make a hybrid that I think would work the best, I'd take number 1, add
in the white shape that defines the back of Billy's neck (present in 2-6), add
the orange field from 5 or 6 below the image (without reducing the size of the
rest of the image), and then possilby add in two stars, one on either side of
the text in the black field.

Well, there's my opinions do with them what you will :-) i think the work
looks good. I'd love to know what program you used to make the images, and if
they were entirely computer generated or if the head sketch was scanned in etc.
Good luck!
