"improved" banner

[sandro]

A banner i came up with, using the existing one we have now.. there's two versions ones clean and simple the other has some eye-candy, but i've scrapped it.
full credits to the original maker!

all opinion's are appreciated!
V:1

V:2
V2: is a work in progress, although I've already scrapped it

EDIT: Posted in here because graphics section is beyond dead!

I prefer the one we have now.

[sandro]

thats absolutely fine, what do you think of the banners though? (presentation wise)

I prefer the one we have now because it's clean and simple, but that's not to take away from your work. V1 is a lot nicer to me, V2 has a little bit too much going on for my taste.

Also, I've moved this to graphics anyways, because Speak on Shady Sites is equally if not more dead.

Good job bro

yeah i felt like v2 was too much, hence why i just left it.
anyways been getting into photo manipulation a lot more recently, so i might have some new work coming soon.
I like the banner we have now i just feel the font, could be a 'little more' but thats my opinion.

also where i do post for people to make requests if they want something from me?

Good job bro

cheers! which one do you like more?

^I agree v2 is a little too much, but both looks good

yeah v2 was more of a fluke of experimenting aha

I really like them both, V1 the most. It gives the current banner a little "umph!" a little more something to catch the eye.

I doubt we'll be having banner changes anytime soon. Not only because this one is fairly new, but almost all banners would look weird with how this layout is set up. I'd be easier to change and look proper if the "Messages", "Profile" and "Log Out" buttons were down where the "FAQ", "Search" ect were.

yeah i felt like the one we have now needed some kind of expression to it, so i came up with these haha
I tried keeping the feng shui or (however you spell it) of the layout but its hard to keep since everything is so basic. Would be nice if the layout could be changed but form what i've seen so far its not possible hopefully later on the admin will change it. I did these for fun though and i just thought i'd share with you guys and get your opinions

The layout was recently changed and it looks way better than it did, and although the banner is nice as it is, it's just in a weird spot. It could have been twice the size it is and moved the "profile" ect buttons down on the black menu bar.

Yeah the old layout before this was too hard on the eyes and looked really cluttered, i like this one but i do feel like the buttons to the right are a little too big, just doesn't make much sense to me... all that room could be used for the banner. Instead its used for huge buttons lol
