yeah ,i liked the old one too .but seeing that a few changes have happened here (new moderator,new logo,competitions) maybe we are looking at a slow motion look change

or is it the mysterious surgeon !!

actually it's just a banner not a logo. bjarne asked me to make a new one that matched the design of the main page better and the width of the forum, you know just to get it in unison.

Ah I see :)

Well I like it, except I'm not too enthousiastic about the font... not that it is ugly but hmmm not sure :? maybe it shouldn't be in italics...

what's it gonna be

:roll: it's always save to go with Arial, Impact, Times and Verdana but you know choosing Font is one of the hardest parts of designing as it's subjective and can make a lot of difference. There's many that look alike and many that are plain boring, so I went with Palatino to give it an 'obsolete' look. Of course I played around with all known fonts and tried about everything; regular, bold, italic, combinations, outlines, effects and colours. But after staring at it for hours it was hard to tell what looked right and what didn't.

I don't mind making some changes but then I need clear suggestions, not just a "i like the old one better". Whether or not to use italics is literally a matter of taste. Here's what I suggest:
If Bjarne agrees I will make some Font-changes and preview shots of the different styles (and/or text colours). That way people can tell what they like best. Fair enough?

:wink: Glad you're starting to like it.
I do appreciate any comments, positive or negative because without them it would just be my vision. I still intend to show you guys some different fontstyles and I will post a picture as soon as possible, perhaps you'll see something you like even better.

I like this one, but if you have the time and energy to make some different versions Pantera: sure! Post them here and our beloved members kan take a vote on their favourite. Why not take in suggestions from anyone while were at it?

Anyone that think they can create a great banner: post it here.

Rules: It should fit the rest of the forum. The rest is up to you guys. :D
