C
Agree C is the best style, but the images chosen need to be quite simple, such as the Shotton one. The centre image in the mock up just isn't bold enough.
c ... being yellow and blue , should be straight forward to convert b &w into yellow and blue Idve thought?How well does b & c work with the black and white photos?
I really, really want to be constructive about the images but, sorry, I'm underwhelmed.
Ok. I've stuck my hand in my pocket and contributed financially. I'm leaving the rest up to those who have an idea about graphic display and visual perception.
The one my mate had a go at designing is much like option C, however more of a bold blue on yellow as opposed to the one OxVox did. Also incorporates ‘Oxford United’ although not in a great font. Think something like this could work quite well. Bold and simplistic
Sarge mentions the iconic "Ron" shot. Funnily enough, we were already on the case with that shot!
With anything 'creative', be that music, art, literature, you can't please everyone. What one person loves, another hates. So whatever we end up with I can guarantee that someone will hate it. Doesn't mean they're wrong, or right.
"I don't like it" Fine, no problem with that, it's an opinion.
"It's s**t" No, you just don't like it.
The option 'C' that was created was based on the Obama "HOPE" posters (or the Warhol Lennon images - although they were just 2 tones and this is 3). Sadly there's not a simple PhotoShop fliter or effect to create this, instead it's a number of steps to vectorise the original image in as many 'tones' as you select and then coloring those 'tones'. In the example below, there are a couple of options (2 yellows and 1 blue, and then 1 yellow and 2 blues).
Is everyone going to like this, nope, but it's something more to add to the discussion.

As an example of making the images less fussy, on the Ron picture remove the background person before applying the filter. Pretty simple thing to do with any of the images to be used.Sarge mentions the iconic "Ron" shot. Funnily enough, we were already on the case with that shot!
