It's not a bad banner design, just poorly implemented. Could you go into a bit more detail about that? I don't quite get what you mean. |

The colors are off. Red is one of the major colors in the banner, and yet it is not present in the rest of the forum. The text sizes/fonts also are way off. Tbh I liked the old banner better. This is a reason why I really don't like the new bright white text as well. It just looks more visually pleasing when the text matches other texts in the forum (mini-profile, board text etc.). I know this may seem extremely nitpicky, but this is stuff that you have do for users (especially new users) to have a good impression of the site. And this is stuff that users, even subconsciously with the smallest amount of graphics talent, will look at and judge when coming onto a forum. |

I will get with the banner guy and have him make a new one for us. This banner was better than the last as it can be seen.
The other colors will most likely be changed when i get a bit more time.

Personally although I agree the banner colours aren't amazing, you can actually SEE it without having to really try and find it. Which I'm a fan of. I know you have some talent, would you be willing to whip a quick thing up that meshes a bit more with the forum?  |

I probably could come up with something once I get all my components of gimp back on (had to re-install it since I have a new computer). |

Yeah, I think I don't have gimp anymore either. :c that'll be a pain if I want to ever try and pick up where I left off and get back into it. |

I can provide fingerpaintings and stick figures. Dawson can supply the swag.
