Whilst I love the new main menu title screen, I think it's way too busy for the background of the main menu. So I've linked below 10 potential main menu pics. Please vote for the one you'd like to see! :)

I voted pic 7. I think that'd look great behind the main menu. :)

its between 1, 7 & 10 for me

all good looking screenies tho

6 or 10 because of composition: a ship sailing to some unknown island.

7 looks good, of course.

All are gorgeous. Pic10 is the best to represent the mod concept, as Zomg says above.

Pic 5. But hopefully they will be in higher resolution than those.

Yeah I still got the originals. Had to cut them down to post. :)

I voted pic 1 originally but I'd like to change my vote to pic 10! Can't withdraw my vote - Doh! :p

I voted for 5. 9 is great also. Then again I got straight D in Art at school.

Is this vote finished already? There's no links in the OP?

At the moment the pics aren't showing as they are on Apolyton which is having problems right now. They should be back up when they fix their problems. :)

Woo! They back! :)

Edit: I voted 10. Love the look of 7, but think the landfall element of 10 wins it. Would like to see mock ups with menus on tho!

I voted No. 10 not only because it is really nice but because, well for me it stimulates the exitement of discovering and exploring a land far away where nobody hase been before...

5 or 7, those two are the best :D!

BTW, for those who wanted to see the original (I removed the logo from the pic) that I used for the last couple of versions:

Much better quality on that one. Why not randomize title image on startup? :p.

the original looks nice too :P ..perhaps a little out of place/history tho

The original is more like Seville or Lisbon at the beginning of the game. That's a Spanish carrack (my guess is the Santa Maria) in the fore if ever I saw one. :)

I was thinking, why not try to return the slideshow that Civ4 had (that disappeared from Col2)? :)

I love both 9 and 10.

10, because it gives the impression of exploring the new world.

9 and 10 are my fav. I voted for 9 because you can see the sunset and the whole ship it apears to be pleaseing to the eye.

They are all really cool though.
