revamp of title design; need advice

Hello,
I'm changing the site title design and would like input for 3 choices of
http://goodsprings.org/test/404error_test1.php

http://goodsprings.org/test/404error_test3.php
or
http://goodsprings.org/test/404error_testg2.php

I would like to stay with gold text on silver background for gold/silver
mining association but the other examples may be more readable.

Thanks for any response.

All three of them are far to busy for a 404 page. Imagine somebody coming
to your page and seeing that. Because it's so complex, they'll read 404
and nothing more before hitting their back button.

It should have only some text detailing a 404 notification and a
*very* simple explanation (your's is incorrect/too complicated).
Optionally, you can include a link to your homepage, a link to go back,
and a search box.

Regards,

Point taken and sorry, I picked the wrong page to use as test but it was

the easiest to change. Hopefully no one will get a 404 error to look at
on active pages.

To compare the site title choices with existing title h1, which links
from any of examples,
which is better, best?

Thanks again.

FWIW: I vote for "test_1.php" or maybe "test_g2.php"(depending upon the
eventual complexity of the actual content).

I really have to say I don't much care for the grey square to the left tho.

Thanks for comment and I will report back to group about the grey

[silver bar] logo; it's due for a change too.
