Er..I just saw the new banner..I'm sure any graphic designers , typographers will agree with me..
The text is all miss aligned, both the the large, "Las Vegas 2012" and the small text "learn more earn more"..the kerning is weird, and 2012 should not be right up against Vegas..
The other banner was very much better..This one draws ones attention , but in a bad way.."Just sayin'" ..HTH :)
