Banner for another Site.

Me likey. More blur and burn on the edges, I thinks.

Also, I think "for all your halo needs" should either be more legible...or white.

 

I think the text could be a bit more obvious or you could zoom in a little more towards the text. Other than that, it looks nice and simple as a header should be.

 

Meh, I guess I wouldn't worry about it, but light source kinda takes away from the focal and the focal for a header should be pretty blatant.

 

It doesn't really look like the text is standing on the platform, which is what you were going for, I assume.

 

The flare glare light thingy is distracting... and overused.

 

Don't listen to these peeps, it's very stylistic.
As he said, the focal point attracts attention to the text, rather than large text.

If you were going for a simple, clean banner, then you pulled it off.

 

For that cool white effect, is it just a galaxy/star stock without any color?

 

Its my subtle opinion that drop shadow on a text layer never, ever looks good and that is always best to make custom shadows. Your text needs a lot of work but otherwise the placement and the overall banner and stock choice are good.

 

Probably too bright for a simple banner. Unless you want it to be Christmas-e like. Because it looks like snow, not sparkles.

 

Try to create some dynamic flow. When text is straight its like reading a book, just a linear procession of events. But if you're making a logo or banner you want it to draw you in and point you towards the content (if nothing else than to make it look cool )
