Comic Con banner ideas

It's time to bust out a new banner for this years cons!
you have to imagine these being very large and I am in literally in front of the bottom half.
1, 2, or 3?  Which one looks best?  Or if there's an image you're thinking. Why isn't that one up there? comment away.

I am thinking 2. More dynamic better access to art details as well. I will say at first glance 1 caught my attention quicker tho. So maybe I spent too much time thinking about it.

I'd go with choice 2 Brett, 1's composition is to formal, 2's composition leads the eye to every piece. just my opinion.

#1
you only have seconds to really catch someone, and get their attention.

I vote for 1- clean and simple design, catches the eye, and gives all the information someone needs.

Oh man that's 2-2. Thanks for the input everyone. Got a lot to think about.

It's close between 1 and 2. #2 shows nice variety but I'm wondering if it's too 'busy'. #1 is obviously not as busy but more cleaner and bolder. When folks are walking around the tables at these Cons, there's already a lot of overwhelming noise and eye-candy everywhere already. So to have a simple/bolder image that stands out from the rest is I think the way to go. Clean and simple has a more professional look too IMO.

Anyway, my 2 pesos.

2 is definitely too busy. The whole thing is busy and each individual piece is too busy. Nothing about it catches my eye immediately.

I'm clearly in the minority because I kinda like #3 best. If you're sitting in front of it, it's nice that the bottom half is clear. Plus, I like the contrast between the verticality of the banner and the horizontality of the images. It introduces a bit of the tension you have in #2 without seeming cluttered.

That said, I can understand why most people like #1 ... it's the cleanest and clearest composition.

Good luck!

thanks for the suggestions. I guess you'll see the decision at the con. Thanks for all the help.

Brett,

How about idea #4. I like the dynamic of #2 (it definitely catches my eye) but it is a bit intense. How about switching out the flying warrior with your otter. It will lighten it up a bit and complete your full range of capabilities from cute animals to intense fantasy creatures, humans, alien worlds and fun game/show environments.

Don't get me wrong, your warrior is cool, but overall, all the images in #2 are pretty intense. I think switching in your otter (at an angle) would lighten it up and simplify it down a notch.
