Need opinions on preliminary banner

TheMagellan drew this up for me. Let me know what you think. I'm changing the finish line to white and were fixing the hand

That hand tho... Haha looks good otherwise.

I immediately picture a more simplified and abstract design with the name more integrated and the finish line transforming into the flag (the solid part of the line and the pole/handle make a good transition). IMO, the grass and the, zombie , hand are unnecessary. Wish I had time to draw something up (not trying to budge in, just for fun)

yea were fixing the hand for sure. That didn't come out how I wanted it to but it's fine.

I'm thinking of taking the flag portion and making that a small logo

I am not a graphic designer and I don't want to step on any toes so do whatever you want with this... but here's my 10 minute take. I realize you didn't ask for it but I really think you've just got too much going on there.

That hand is kinda creepy... but I'm gonna go the other way and say make it the focal point and do something like this but with HPR

When you say banner, I picture a website banner. I feel like everyone else is thinking this is for a company logo. Simple is better for the logo, but I think the banner can be more complex.

I agree. I was thinking ad banner actually but even then you want more info than what I made. I'm just a minimalist

Correct.

I was going to take the flag portion and possible make that the logo
