The first is my favourite, but like everyone else don't like the credit or the "coming soon." Personally, I don't think you should even have a copyright line on the banner itself; if anyone wants to steal the banner, then they'll be stealing the "Stiletto Lyts" as well.

I'm not sure about the little coloured speckles, though. It seems so...fruity. Also, the fonts aren't necessarily bad, but it looks like they're just floating there. I would probably overlay them onto the background and blend them in a little more.

I mean overlay text like this:

It gives it more of a textured feel, instead of being so flat and in-your-face. Are you using Photoshop? In the layers tab, there's a drop-down menu with all sorts of effects you can use.
