I like the one at the top, Ghost. The one with light brown background and which says "A Neverwinter Nights Persistent World" right under "A Land Far Away". Very nice!

this is just for the back ground overall, not 'The Year of Fallen Hero's Banner'?

i like Number 4, myself. it reminds of the new 3rd ed books especially...

I love #2 and #4. The blue is inviting and refreshing to the eye at the same time. I desperately want to get away from browns, yellows and reds now.

Great work, Ghost.

I like 2 ... but can you move the text " A Land Far Away " It is a little difficult to read with the word "Far" over the NWN sigil.

i dont know if my opinion will be taken seriously, seeing as i only got accepted a few days ago, but ill give my two cents anyway.

i like the blues and pnp book feel of two as well, though the logo of one is by far the best - easiest to read and and puts in no uncertain terms that ALFA is a neverwinter nights server.

I like the return to the old blue-ish ALFA website. It makes me feel comfortable with it.
It is also a lot easier on the eyes due to it's color-scheme

Seconded.
Another thing, is it possible to make the borders around the fields thinner, less clumsy looking
like? Perhaps 2 px wide at the most? It would make the page look a lot more dynamic and
refreshing. Right now they are kinda heavy on the eye.

IANAL but unless those devices in the 4 corners are actually copywrited, i wouldnt have thought copying the look of something without copying the exact process for creating it was legal.
