Update, i'm done for the night. Constructive criticism welcome. Especially on the 'footy crowd' background and gilbert tackle. Working off the default font set, so if anyone has any font recommendations, please do.

Current WIP. I think it can look really effective, just needs some cleaning up on the edges.

Might be something at your end, I can see it no problem. It might be photobucket.saintbrat wrote:be like the saints site- refresh for the new year
Must be something on yours saints-06-premiers that is copyrighted or similiar because it's ZApped here.
I saved it a lower res for some reason, forgot to change the default settings back.
Still wanna fix it up though, not really happy with it.
Too lazy to update my username

That's why the portraits weren't made to sit at the front of the text (or beside on their own) on mine. In fact, i went for the look of them "peeking" over the text.saint66au wrote:Just a suggestion..
Perhaps the actual banner graphic and text need to be about St Kilda rather than featuring the two players..after all the Forum is about the Club as a whole...the "sponsored by" can be added underneath perhaps?

are we supposed to be keeping the same font as the current banner?
if so, what is the font called......
and what are the size restrictions.... can the banner be longer or taller or would that interfere with the operation of the actual forum? or too hard to implement?
If the background is still staying black then i would suggest that most designs have a black edge so it doesn't look like a pop up. but that's just my oppinion.

i like Otiman's first one on this page, theone where there is no flying gilbo'son the banner, but i think we should see the faces a bit better, but apart from that its got my vote!
"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."

Good point about Monty, I couldn't think of 3 players to choose so I just did the top 3 in the popularity game...

I still love the current font, but not in the profile of a white background.saint66au wrote:I personally reckon that it would be a great chance to freshen the banner up with a new font
The background is grey but the font background colour is black and to me it looks crap....
Sorry Damien but yeah it looks fine with the standard option of viewing but maybe those looking for the new design might what to look at how it looks with all the profiles of viewing
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
