Some artwork for a 1/2 banner ad and 1/3 banner. How does this technique strike you? I like it in theory, but am not sure how it works with pixel fonts.
Also, are the 1/3 banners too small to really pull off the attempt?

I think the 1/3 sizes work better in helping to see the whole picture. Perhaps, the larger size should have larger counters and apertures.

thanks for your input guys. while i agree that a visual puzzle is sometimes rewarding, i'm not so sure it works for web banners, where the average attentions span might be .0001 seconds.
teeshirts, however, might be a different story.
