Updated: FINAL - Which banner for the forum?

[Oh When the Saints]

Taking the highest two vote winners from the previous poll, which banner do you choose as the best for saintsational.com?

This poll will be open for 7 days. The banner which receives 50%+ of the vote will be chosen. If that doesn't happen, then the banner with the lowest votes will be eliminated ...

#1 - AP Erebus



#2 - Current Banner



#3 - The_Dud

What happened to the last thread with 3 options?? Why did we need to vote again?

[luke.l_26]

Actually.. I voted for 1...But I kinda like 3 as well...
But I think 3 needed a bit more black... There was a black option in the other one yeah? Ah well.

Hey Dud -

Sorry to be a pest... but what if both T's were the same?

I like the style of the 'new' T... what if both were the same design?

Also maybe the sponsorship line could be in black (for the white layout), or white (for the black layout) ??

i would, but i think the whole design is just not "Steak and chips" enough for a footy forum

taking that into consideration, i vote just keep the old one and add the sponsorship tag line

The new T looks rude ! in design number 3

By my counting that has been 7 days and nothing has changed.
One of the banners has a better than 50% favouratism rate.

I think we should update this thread now.

[Enrico_Misso]

I voted for 1

But I think The Dud's "Saintsational" logo lettering is best.
Really stands out.
It just needs a better background though.

Good efforts by both.

[AP Erebus]

Thanks to all who voted...

As per a comment by someone else in the old thread, i'm going to be putting different coloured edges on the white letters so they look a little cleaner.

[esaint66]

Is this going to be updated anytime soon anyone????

[i_luv_nick_riewoldt]

yea i was thinking the same thing is it going to be finalised soon?

[Spinner]

The one in front...aka Banner number three looks like it was created by a child.

Please don't make me look something so amateurish each time I log on.

[AP Erebus]

Gee, thanks for the support...

I only can try and do my best, I'm not a graphic artist or anything... If you don't like it sorry, but hey, not my problem...

For anyone who actually cares. here is the updated one... I took out the footbal, cause it looked crap, and added in the motto... tidied up the players...

Hope you like it:

Mate that is awesome!!

wasnt a fan of the football and i like the new lining on the outside of the letters and gery and gilbo. Top stuff

[SharpShooter]

Gee, thanks for the support...

Thats good but has the same problem as what the football would of had. Since there is only a half picture of the boys (as anything else would be too large) there probably should be a type of border so it doesn't look like they've had an unfortunate accident with a guillotine.

[AP Erebus]

Unfortunately they are the only pics I have to work with..

I'll have a fiddle and see if a border fits.

Thanks for the feedback.

[pits]

current one looks better

[AP Erebus]

There you go... that's about the cleanest border i can do without it taking over.

[Armoooo]

I think it is looking great, my only suggestions (one to AP E and the other to OWTS) would be to change the motto, instead of having it cut off there, why not have it all over the background, it is hard to explain so I hope you know what I mean.

Also have you had a look at some of the other profile color schemes for the site? The board style I use is called "Saintsational Test". Is there any chance that we could have a different banner for every board style, nothing radically different just a different colour scheme because for my style the all black logo looks terrible and out of place, however I am so used to the white layout I don't think I could go back to black.

[AP Erebus]

I understand what you mean about the motto..

It's tricky though, you don't want to clutter it up too much...

I didn't realise there was an all white theme :O

I'll have a look at changing it for a white background and see what people think...

but as always, thanks for the suggestions.

[james rose]

so whats the go? when are the banners being updated?

[m_m]

i say stick with the original

[AP Erebus]

Yeah, why am I agreeing with you?

No point changing it... My effort wasn't really that good anyway (no sarcasm)

Oh well, fun exercise

[esaint66]

Well from what i've heard OWTS is no longer to spend enough time on SS and has stepped down from being a mode or something along those lines.

So i think we will have to find someone else to make the new/or keep the banner.

I'll make a new post about it.

[saintly great]

#1 - AP Erebus

this is a good logo

but i think the original logo should stay
