Three variations to one design, which is best?

Hi there all,

I’m working on a new Wordpress theme. Which of these three variations do you prefer?

1. Black http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/209/blogh.jpg

2. Light http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/5020/bloglight.jpg

3. Light – adjusted http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7122/bloglightadjusted.jpg

Thanks for your input!

I like the second one best.

you found nemo!

i personally like the second too, but id make the nemo bigger and move him more in the middle. awesome design, i really like it

I am also going to have to say the second one is the best. I love the reflections on the ocean floor.

Thanks for your replies guys. I’ll make a few more variations and will try to come up with some awesome fish!

Impressive work!

I like the third one because it seems easy to read, especially in the sidebar. Btw, the browse blog label doesn’t seem click-able. I would make it into a button.

I’ve worked on a fourth version and came up with the following:

I’ve made a new container for the footer, rearranged the tagline and fish, updated the logo-placeholder and I added a manta ray at the bottom.

Let me hear what you think!

Edit:

Some spacing-issues fixed: http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8592/blog4g.jpg

Another variation.

Things changed: - Larger search bar - Some small spacing-issues - New breadcrumb path
