I really like it except for the fonts - alittle too Willy Wonka maybe. Need something bolder.

The thing about the font is that the whole subject is about attacking. When I think about attacking that font doesn't come to mind, though I know why you used it. I'm with the guys, use a bolder, more harsh font.

Also, soften up the edges of the picture or put a border around it, that may also help, but I love the concept.

I changed the text, but I'm still not happy with it.

I like the concept of seeing the planes fly off in early morning, but it still needs something else. It's still too........plain?

Hmm. Try blending the "Attack at dawn" text in a bit, and also maybe make it a darker shade of yellow. Would it be possible for you to upload the .psd so I could have a look at it?

I like the concept! What I would do is use a real plane (like the one that was in my old signature, it was taken at a similar angle) and dull the fire down just a bit by throwing a black and white gradient map over top of just the BG, nothing else though, or you'll darken the whole thing.

I like that better. It gives it a 3D look. I also darkened up the 3 outlines.

Thoughts.........
