creative idea, awesome result, just nice ……
great list ^^
I think Ectomachine is the only one on this list that wouldn’t make me shut down my browser if I loaded it up. Would not even consider viewing any of those sites or hiring them for that matter.
Don’t try to bamboozle me with your fancy graphics on your main site, keep that for the portfolio.

Very nice Designs, i wish i can make those great Graphics.
Awesome headers! Thanks for this list
Although many of the graphics are skillfully designed, many fail in execution because they don’t communicate the correct message. Graphics should support and be a part of the message. To put it bluntly; many of the graphics above are pointless and unnecessary. All style, no substance.
i completely agree. too busy. crazy graphics for graphics sake isn’t good web imo.
while they are pretty to look at, i struggle with where to start.
While I find your criticism to be valid in some cases, it must also be acknowledged that sometimes style is the message.

header in the first place must correspond to the topics the site, and only then to be beautiful or cool!
WOW.. great Collection! Fantastic. I love so beautiful Header Designs. Very inspiring :)
To my experience banner should be some offbeat to hammer visitors mind at first site. A colorful and clumps design may not be always attractive. I have seen some of these here. Clear and theme based design are always welcome. Many web designing companies do some basic errors of showing their creativity on index page and specially on banners. Web designing contacts do not come from banner but from portfolio.
Nice Designs. I do agree with the first commentor that simple ones make the best designs. Some designs are cluttered, and some are very useful. Keep up the good work. Gives me ideas for my own site.

They are really cool and creative. But i prefer more simple ones.
Social Icon Sets´s last blog ..Social Bookmark Icon Set
The bad thing about most of these is that the headers take up at least half the screen on a 1280×800 resolution screen. That is way too large for a header. Take, for example, the Made in Space site. I have absolutely no idea what this site is for or what this person does when I come here. Bigger is not better in web design.
These are fine but I don’t see any that are from the real world… That being any sort of site that would be designed for a paying client. They are all in the genre of designer portfolios.
Well most paying clients like simple and professional look, some of the sites are for real life paying clients, like Tennessee Vacations. Its run by the state of Tennessee and they there site might be one of the most distracting ones from the lists.
Nice collection. :)

Some of the websites have beautiful and creative headers! My favorite is Octwelve because the cartoon drawing is too cute.

Very cool & creative designs, but I think most of these are too distracting for a website header.
Cool Header designs. Thanks very much
This is art. Not Webdesign.
Vergleich´s last blog ..Taschengeldkonto für Kinder und Jugendliche (Kinderkonto)
Very arty and most nifty looking, for sure, but if I didn’t happen to be in the mood to examine nice and nifty-looking web sites, I’d tend to shut most of these pages almost immediately because they are way too busy and distracting. Tutcandy isn’t too bad, I guess. What’s wrong with a more Zen approach? Good lord, what would Howard Roark think? (!)
Probably not a lot since he’s a fictional character.
some great examples there. Always loved tutcandy, as well as N-Design Studio, as Nick La seems to be the champion of great header designs.

Very inspiring people and design!
These sites are super cool. Thanks for listing
very inspirational. Thanks.
Maybe I’m the lone wolf, but does anyone else see some of these as distracting. I fully understand the creative mind, but I would think that some viewers might miss the content message when visiting some of these sites. Of all of the ones I looked at (all of them), Cristiana Bardeanu’s is the one I think is the most creative. It shows the ability of a creative mind without overdoing it for the sake of overdoing it. Just an opinion and an observation.

Excellent and inspiring list! I remember the Web 2.0 days when all the headers only included simple gradients and drop shadows.
This is definitely making me rethink my headers!
