IANAGG ( i am not a graphics guru ), nonetheless:
i would opt for the big one ( http://www.openvein.com/ext/postgresql_sign_art.jpg )
- elephants are big
- big is unavoidable, ie: you can't miss it
- remove the "The Worlds' Most Advanced jadajadajada"
- if you really want some text there: "Fast + Features: Fenomenal."
also, the idea of making a banner with a photographic image of an elephant appeals to me: it could be very powerfull if
donewell. i understand it is not a viable alternative for this occasion.
