Quite awesome headers indeed! I wonder if some look too fancy, that visitors just leave fast because they think it’s some kind of trick/commercial.

This was pretty good, i like ‘Simple and clean’ headers with an earthy feel to them, so my favourite was 2, 14 and just dot… i didn’t really find a header in 37 and i found the space header quite unattractive but the other examples were okay.. nice! :)
