I’ve been itching to get a new header image for this blog for a while now, but I can’t really decide what I want to do with it. The font is completely up for discussion, but the image of Rodin’s Thinker is an absolute must, because I feel that it represents my sentimentality and personality quite well. I have a tendency to over-analyze and over-think things, so it’s not out of the ordinary to find me with my fist on my chin.

So, I’ve been playing around with a few ideas. Some time back, I took a shot with a few header image concepts, but I ultimately found that the three ideas that I came up with were probably too busy or complicated for a blog of this kind. As such, the newest concept that I’ve fiddled with is closer to the current header image, but it features the Rodin Thinker statue a little more prominently.

Here is the thumbnail. Click on it for the full-sized image:

What do you guys think? Do you have any suggestions or ideas that I can pursue? Keep in mind that this is a very rough draft and it’ll definitely need some work before it goes live. Perhaps a change in font or something too.

Alternatively, should I be looking into a whole new blog design altogether? I’m probably not prepared to fork out the mega-bucks to Unique Blog Designs, even if the blog layouts created by Adii are super web 2.0 and simply gorgeous. That is, unless they want to provide me a WordPress theme for free…
