love both but if i had to pick one it'd be the flower
both looks great!!
Took me about an hour to figure things out by dabbling here and there with effects and gradients. But once you get it, it should not take more than 5-10 minutes.
Voted B. The grain sits so much more naturally in the sky to mountain transition, on A it reads more like a texture overlay than an actual gradient.
Good point, although it's just a colour change between the two but the type of image and quality matters too! :)
Thanks! Just a simple noise effect in Ae :)
Both are cool, but B feels more dynamic and visually interesting to me.
Gradients like these add massive depth and visual polish to hero sections and interactive states. Packing motion graphics like this into reusable Webflow/Framer assets is a huge value-add for client UI systems.
B for me
Love the simplicity here, it gives the brand such a nice feel
A for me 🙌
really cool!
A looks good to me

Of course blue
