#8 is definitely the easiest for me to read, plus I think it's a clever, catchy design.

Simple, bold letterstyle, sans serif definitely easy to read.

IMO

Any of them except 2,5 or 8.

I like #1 and #9. One because it is simple and #9 because it is bigger and easier to read. Ya gotta cater to those seniors as they might by presents for their grandchildren. You have some really nice jewelry and within the senior price range. I also think the younger set likes silver better than gold.

I agree with max... 2, 5 and 8 are out. I'm kinda partial to #7. And, yes, I am a baby boomer.

I love 5 but would probably use 7. With your current bare bones layouts it will pop, it's got nice clean font (although I personally would use a non serifed font but that may just be me) and good contrast.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

#7 with #4 a close runner up.

#2 is awesome if it was a stronger color?

#4 is nice and easy on my 40+ eyes.

I didn't like 2,5 or 8. 6 and 7 were both nice.

9 is easy to read - but for some reason, I didn't find it appealing.

#4 was easiest to read. #7 is also good. <spoken by a rather blind thirtysomething>

Personally I won't take personal checks. I would use #6, it is easy to read. & stands out. WHO IN HEZZ WROTE $4?? OMG!! If you can't spell, don't try to set up an ad.

Nine's fine...

I'm not crazy about any of the others - fonts are difficult to read, except for maybe #4.

I have an eye disease and #2 was difficult for me to read.

The others looked fine. 3,4, 7 were the easiest.

From a "legally blind" baby-boomer...

# 12 is my personal favorite.

I like the coloring and the font.

Fluffy, No I just wear VERY thick glasses, have a 21" monitor and sit close.

edited to add:

The font in #12 would still be very readable to me even in a smaller size.

#s 4, 7 & 10 get me vote. I like the creativity of them, as well as the 'readability'.

Just had my cataract surgeries and all jump out at me except for #15. #15 gets my vote.

#12's pretty nice, the font is very easy to read but I think I still like #9 because it's enclosed. Without the woman it would be even better.

My favorites are #1,7 and 10. 20/10 in one eye and 20/40 in the other.
