On the other hand, I like your latest one Narugold. The outer frame doesn't really fit in my opinion, one is good enough. The text is a bit hard to comprehend though which as said is not that good, never should a visitor have to focus to read what it actually says. But since it's not finished, I'll just wait and see what you come up with.
I would appreciate criticism on my banner as well, by OP as well as from you guys.
