Though content is king, design is still important. In this post I am going to be showing you 10 blogs with great headers. When I say great headers, I am not talking about the header your free WordPress theme made. Let’s dive into the top 10 sites with great headers!
10.
This header is great. I dislike the background, but I think that the typography really brings the design to another level. I also find myself not generally liking sites with dark color schemes, but I really like this one.

I love SmileyCat’s color scheme. Blue is “in” right now, and I really love seeing whites with darker shades of gray. With this type of color scheme, I would have probably presented it differently, but I like this a lot more than the way I would have presented it.
8.
Vector tuts did a great job with the header. I love their spotlight effect in the background where it says “Vector”. I would have liked to see the colors being used more, though.
7.
I would have never thought to use a leather texture like this before. I really like the lowered opacity on the header to0, it brings out the great textures in the leather. I don’t like the font they have for their page links, though.

This header is phenomenal. It’s a graphic design blog, so seeing pain resembles graphics, which really ties into the site very well. The “o” in “blog” also looks like a paint palette.
5.
The textures here are like no other. I love a “clean” design (part of what made me design the WordPress theme, Clean). The textures here are grunge, yet clean. Rarely, do I see this technique used well.

I love this header. Rarely do I see a site that has a dark color scheme that still appeals to me. I really like the glow on Abduzeedo’s logo. The rainbow is perfect for showing design.
3.
I love how Truly Ace shows that a blog header is the blog’s logo. Rarely, I see a true logo on a blog for design. It’s usually just a placeholder header. I understand I am going into so much detail about the trademark and the ace, but it really makes a difference.

The case is the same with Josh Puckett’s website. The logo for a blog is an integral part to me, it looks great.

The button to the left is great. The typography is great. I love how the words are explained, and I think it is very clean looking.
Any links to these websites?
