An X Marks photo contest

[GG]

Hi

Here are my (first) contributions to the contest:

Reasons for the design are:

1. The logo banner should to my opinion have a more modern and dynamic look.

2. The typography (Impact) has been maintained, but it has been slightly angled.

3. The Saltire has been made an incorporated part of the background.
The color could be that of the Saltire (1) or the well known XMTS blue (2). The colors might still have to be adjusted. That's peace of cake to change, however.

4. Kilts should be visualized without making the banner too crowded. If you take a closer look one of the kilts is a kilted skirt worn by a young lady. We are so happy as to have female members here, and to my opinion it should be welcomed by implying it in the logo banner.
The picture might very well be tilted to the left, too and thereby being in better harmony with the text (2).
Other pictures can be used, however.

The size is 960 x 100 pixels.

I have taken the picture and have thus all rights necessary.

I think this is the better of the two Greg. The elongation of the kilts in the second version doesn't work well in my opinion. I'm not a great lover of distorted pictures and I find it hard to watch a TV set to the wrong aspect ratio for the same reason. I think the text would be better angled forward too... but then, what do I know?
