I liked the one I voted for best because it shows many types of craft media and doesn’t limit it to one. I fell that possibly the person who designed it does craft work in many different media.

I think, it is really sad that one can vote more than once!
It’s not the right way, I guess
My favorite is number 3, anyways!

From: Mikelle | 5/26/09 at 4:14 pm

From: Kim | 5/26/09 at 4:18 pm
Um…maybe it’s my computer, or maybe it’s me, but how do we vote? I can’t click on the pictures, and I don’t see a link to vote.
From: Brenda B | 5/26/09 at 4:24 pm
definitely #3 should be the winner – lovely incorporation of crafty items, along with Martha Stewart’s logo. Voting more than once shouldn’t be allowed, though, just my 2 cents
From: Judy Hurst | 5/26/09 at 4:32 pm

From: Janice Ingleton | 5/26/09 at 6:20 pm
Voting for #3
I looove butterflys and this logo is so easy to read, The Crafts dept jumps out at me.
As soon as I see anything with craft I am immediately interested.
Beautiful inspiring shades of colours, and incorporates Martha Stewart’s logo, which at first glance I assumed was a button (embellishment).
From: Susan | 5/26/09 at 6:31 pm

From: hoganfe handmade handbag originals | 5/26/09 at 6:44 pm

Ooops, I meant #2, the one with the pumpkin.
From: Reality Check | 5/26/09 at 8:40 pm
Simple beauty, style and to the point has my vote, others are far too busy. I agree with the comment, that there should of been some kind of voting rules, relish in the fact that cheaters never truly win… best of luck, may the BEST header win!
From: Shar | 5/26/09 at 8:45 pm
#3 Easy to read, fresh colors and visually the most appealing!
From: Claire | 5/26/09 at 9:15 pm

From: Carolyn of Serendipity & Spark | 5/26/09 at 9:18 pm
#3 is awesome! It has depth and creativity
From: jacqui | 5/26/09 at 9:18 pm
there is nowhere to vote. all i get are the results.
I vote #2! Especially since at least a few of those are Martha craft projects!
From: Lucinda | 5/26/09 at 9:31 pm
My first choice is #4. It’s so simple and classy, but #3 is really cute, too.
From: Tam | 5/26/09 at 9:36 pm
Yeyy for no. 3!!!
From: Claire | 5/26/09 at 9:49 pm
My vote belongs to #3! I think the colors are lovely and the design is nice – not as simple as #4 and not as crazy as #2 – just right.
From: Keren | 5/26/09 at 9:56 pm
Number 3 for sure – its crisp clean and easy to read!!!
From: Debbie | 5/26/09 at 10:11 pm
#2 perfect!
From: Shelley Williams | 5/26/09 at 10:26 pm
I loved number 2. It has Martha’s favorite signature tool, the Bone Folder. I believe this one to represent Martha the best, because it show’s several different mixed media for crafts.
From: cindy | 5/26/09 at 10:47 pm
3!

From: Rowaida Flayhan | 5/27/09 at 12:38 am
Hi Marcie,
They all did a great job, but in my opinion #3 is the best, very creative plus it has Martha Stewart’s Logo very clever thing.
Good luck to all
God Bless
P.S I would have loved to participate but I live in kuwait.
From: liz s. | 5/27/09 at 1:59 am

I couldn’t find an area to vote, so I ‘ll cast it here. #2 all the way! It’s fresh, clean and has many different crafts represented. The color is also pleasing to the eye.
From: Lynne Hurlburt | 5/27/09 at 6:30 am

From: Chriss Blagrave | 5/27/09 at 7:41 am
I love banner #2! It conveys different crafts, textures colours, candy and a pumpkin! Love the main colour of the banner too! I think it has MS all over it.
From: emily | 5/27/09 at 7:53 am
#2 – it IS Martha!!!
From: Erin | 5/27/09 at 7:54 am

From: Kim Williams | 5/27/09 at 8:05 am
I love #2!
From: Jennifer T | 5/27/09 at 8:08 am
I love #2 – each project shown says “Martha” and it reminds us of all the fabulous ways in which we can work crafts into our daily lives.
Is this the vote, or is there somewhere else to vote?
From: Mary | 5/27/09 at 8:25 am
Vote #2
From: Karen | 5/27/09 at 8:33 am
I vote for # 2, but I don’t know where to “post” it, so I will try here! # 2 has several types of crafts presented in the header and is pleasing to the eye.
From: Karen Mainenti | 5/27/09 at 8:34 am
My vote is for #3.
From: katie runnels | 5/27/09 at 8:38 am
I love number three!
From: Kim Brien | 5/27/09 at 10:53 am
My fav is #3. It’s also by one of my favourite bloggers/designers.
From: Helen | 5/27/09 at 1:39 pm
# 3
all the way!
From: rachel denbow | 5/27/09 at 2:47 pm
#3 is young and fresh and hints at creativity in general instead of focusing on one medium. It’s easy to read, uses great coloring, and uses the Martha Stewart logo well.
From: ashley | 5/27/09 at 2:48 pm
I had a really hard time deciding between no. 2, 3, and 4! I liked 2 because of the different projects shown. I liked 3 because it has some of my favorite craft components (twine, manilla tags). I also like 3 because it was clean. simple and clever(so Martha!) In the end I chose 3 because it is the one that immediately spoke to me!
From: Joe | 5/27/09 at 3:03 pm
Maybe they should all be winners !! Rotate them in every few weeks. There all great, but i do love Option 1. The voting totals seem to be updating to quickly, you may need to revamp the voting process.
From: kat | 5/27/09 at 3:29 pm
Wow. These are seriously ALL great choices. My favorite is #2 because it showcases crafts from the craft encyclopedia. LOVE IT!
From: Jane Buchanan | 5/27/09 at 5:54 pm
love #2! contrast, color, texture and it speaks to the crafter in me!
From: kaydrenth | 5/27/09 at 7:22 pm
I’m a #2 gal!
From: jo | 5/27/09 at 9:51 pm
such creative entries… but i ♥ #3…clean, fresh, bright, sweet butterfly + colours are perfect… ps. like what joe (5/27/09 @3:03pm) said, ‘maybe all should be winners…rotate them…’ now that would be a GOOD THING!
From: Elaine & Nell | 5/27/09 at 10:48 pm
It works!
From: summer | 5/28/09 at 1:33 am

From: jenny | 5/28/09 at 3:23 pm
#2 blows the other ones away! I think the artist really created something fantastic! She needs to run for president! If not America, president of coolness!
