Done all in Photoshop, I used the freeform pen tool to vector it, then used a bunch of gradients for the lighting, and smudged around the mountains and the bridge to the lighthouse to add a raylike effect. All in all, it took about 4 hours ^^ Oh, and critique is welcome.
I can see the lighthouse just fine, its on the upper right part of the banner unless my computer screen is just playing tricks on me again ._.
I really like the colors, they really bring a warm feeling also bringing out the gradient affects you put in it really well, the text is just right, not to flashy and doesn't distract the viewer from the rest of the banner. Nice work ^^
