New PHUN Banner?

:hi: creative type phunners.

The idea of a new phun banner has been presented to me and I wondered what you all thought. We've had the current one a while, maybe something new?

It should be 500x100
and the ends have to merge cleanly with the color: cedce9

and work with a gradient overlay of this png overlay:

--><--

If you can work with SVG files it would probably be very helpful to the scalability of the site for different mediums, although I think PNG is also acceptable. The file should be kept as small as possible to help load times as well

 

The stupid fucking ad is so distracting I never notice the banner

 

Ad?

Sorry, I'm probably not a good one to ask this, I dont see any ads, no banner, no gradient, just a light blue border. And that's when I turn off the script theme I use for phun. It's like ads on YT, Hell, I didnt even know there were ads on pc YT, I thought that was just on mobile.

 

goodgrief.

Well,thankfully I dont see any of that crap.

Why doesnt everyone make a rule in adblock for that and use imageblocker to kill the rest?

 

LOL.. never knew there was an ad on phun. With adblock plus on firefox, it doesnt show up

 

I think we tried this twice before and the admin crew didn't want it. Do they need one or is it just a project for fun?

 

just for the hell of it....

 

What about a collage in letters type collaborative effort? I know they always wanted it to merge seamlessly with the rest of the header. That was always supposed to get fixed on the old one.

 

PM from Cy.

Just to let everyone know that it is on and we need a new banner

Don't hold up on the info next time Cy old boy.

 

so they went straight to Cy about this?? why not make a public quest thread themselves?

 

What about having just a simple text or image transparent png like this kind of thing.


What it would look like.

 

Go ahead and have phun with it for a while. I brought up changing the banner with the other staff a while back but got sidetracked by other things. Let's see how many entries come about and then we'll have a poll to see what people like the most.

 

Here's what I've come up with so far. I'll probably have a few more later.

And for any doubters...

 

I'm likin' the look of that.

 

Who is this?

 

No idea, sorry. Just some random image I had stashed away for sig making.

I can find the original photographer, M Makarenkov, but that's all.

I think the first one you did looks great GUI. I'd maybe consider a different font but it looks class with the gradient and it's a good image choice.
