Wino Wednesday: Help Me Pick a New Wino Wednesday Banner

So here’s the thing. I really like the current Wino Wednesday banner — don’t get me wrong — but it’s been more than a year now and I’m thinking it might be time to change it up. It just so happens I saw Saint Vitus at the Saint Vitus bar last week, and managed to get a couple decent pictures out of it.

But I can’t really decide which one of them I should use to make a new banner. If you’ve got an opinion on the matter, leave a comment. I’d love to hear it.

Here are the current candidates:

1. The Crazy-Eyes Angry Wino

2. Farther Back Shouting

3. The Nostril Shot

4. A Less Angry Closeup

5. Fuzzy Contemplative Wino

They’ve each kind of got their own appeal and space for a logo, so yeah, if anyone wants to chime in, I’m way open to suggestions. Thanks as always.

While you’re thinking about it, here’s 23 minutes of HD footage from last week’s Vitus show, courtesy of UnartigNYC. Clip includes “Dying Inside,” “Saint Vitus,” “War is Our Destiny,” “The Bleeding Ground” and “White Stallions.”

Happy Wino Wednesday:

    Not sure if you were wanting to stick to your personal collection of photos(with permissions and all), but I found these to be pretty awesome:

    Wino’s grim expression can’t be matched! But to answer your question, number 3 sticks out to me. But they’re pretty worthy for the new banner I would say.

    I nominate a shot I took of Wino last year when they played the Ride for Dime event in Fort Worth, TX. Killer pic, I think you will like (at my facebook page):

    I like especially #5

    You should switch them up based on the tone of the song, ya dig? That would be fun…or you could just stick to Nostril Shot, cuz that one makes me giggle.
