the post of loyal reader sums it all up pretty well.
PLEASE, go back to the original masthead….this one really stinks.

Ash…I have to agree with the majority here. The original header was a great representation of Asheville and really said it all about this, the best blog in town.
I know you’re probably sick and tired of it but in the marketing world, that’s okay! You SHOULD be sick and tired of it. But the rest of us rely on that consistent identity. It’s your brand identity. DON’T FOOL WITH IT! (Think about Coke’s debacle and then having to go back to "Original Coke." What a nightmare.)
PLEASE go back to your original. I seriously don’t think I could get used to this one and would probably have to go to something else for my home page. It just changes the flavor of everything.

Not very creative, especially the drawings of buildings in downtown. Looks very ordinary and not distinctive. The buildings don’t even look like Asheville. Kind of elementary and crude. Sorry, guess you have guessed by now….I do not like the new format. The old one was just fine. This one needs to go to the trash can. Thanks.

I’ll be bold and say that I like the new header, or at least I don’t think it’s as bad as others are saying.
Looks like something from Donald Trump’s Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City.
Tacky!
Why are you "messin with" something that was ok to start with? What’s the reason behind the format changes?
CONSISTENCY, please!

the font is not good. the background illustration isn’t really bad. maybe extend it further horizontally, and no fade, no oval and, well, then let’s see ..

Ash…don’t want to hurt your feelings but please, please, please put the Vegas sign back on as the header! When I logged on this morning I thought I had gone to some website about China.
I must agree that "if it ain’t broke…don’t try to fix it!"

Tempting but I still like the Vegas sign…just sentimental I guess.

OMG……..I Absolutely, positively HATE this masthead. Looks like something out of Cherokee casinos. Tacky, vulgar, hideous and most of all, cheap. Please go back to the original. This one is enough to draw traffic away from your site.
