Wich one you would prefer? Left or right? Thanks for your suggestions!

Tough one. I would say left!

I prefer the colours on the left as I think they add more to the Americana nature of the image. However, I prefer the layout on the right as it has more impact and feels modern. What about a combo of the two?

Yeah after looking at it further i'de defo say left, the colours really grab you a lot more than the right version. I really like the variation of the blues. :)

I agree with Jen. I also like how the text on the right overlaps the Abe photo. Perhaps try the right layout with the left colors. Looking good, Peter.

Tough choice. I like both. But think I'll go with red one for the patriotic feel.
I like seeing a little more of Lincoln though like in the right one.

Ahhh, so hard to choose! I agree with what was said above — the layout of the right one feels more solid, but the left one's color really makes it pop. Good luck choosing!
At least the fact that it's so hard to choose means both are great for the job, right? ;)

I like left, but with Abe's composition from the one on the right. The colors in the left one are great! BUT I don't like the red of "Abraham Lincoln" and the circle, it's either too much red, or the flatness of the red and the blue compared to the contrast of the white on black on the right. Something about it seems off to me.
Two great options though.

I think it depends on the emotion you're trying to evoke. The right answer isn't one's personal preference, but what best suits the client's needs.
The one on the left is more inviting. Warmer. The colors suggest the content inside is light-hearted. The one on the right sets a more ominous tone. Mysterious. Something tragic inside.
Which design better fits the content it's representing? That's the right answer, IMHO.

@Seth Rexilius ... I think your thoughts are right. But it´s just a personal project I made for fun ... so, there will be no final selection ;-)

I'd say right. Not sure about that dark red on the blue, doesn't feel as clear as the one on the right, which looks really bold and cool.

I just realized I've spent about 10 minutes staring at these, trying to decide which to choose, as if a kitten would die if I picked the wrong one.
I'm leaning toward the right. It'd be cool to see it use some of that red though.

Although the one on the right is more minimal and mysterious, I prefer the one on the left, it definitely adds more character and interest. It is more aesthetically pleasing to me.
But regardless of which one you decide to go with, they are both very strong pieces. Great job Peter!

The color on the left is too good to pass up.
