Hello. I would like to see a change in the banner, so I'm putting this up. It'd be nice if we'd have a professional take a whack at the banner.
The basic 'color background and border' needs to match the color scheme. I would like it if we could have a collage of images from the Lord of the Rings and Tolkien Books, as well as samples of pages and text, and perhaps a slightly colorized (green) picture of Tolkien himself. An image or two from the movies won't be bad either.
I'd like to get Jedi Scofe on this, but I don't know if he comes here anymore...

Yep, I got the PM.  And I'm all for making a banner for you guys. I just finished with the new STLFF banner over at TFN. Been Photoshopped out for a while, but I think I can do another, of course.  I would like to know a few things, however: What size do you want the banner to be? What would you like to see in the banner (images)? Would I have to make a separate banner for each color scheme here (might be lots of work I can't get done...)? Much appreciated if you could answer. Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with this site, I never know when it's open, lol. Just kidding. Glad to see it back up again. |

I can answer one thing 'correctly' right now. You'll only have to make one banner; that's for certain. I guess the size should be 764x110 pixels. I'll have to modify the board size a little bit, but it should work. I'll try and get a list of images for you sometime tomorrow. Thanks for helping. EDIT: Wait, are you saying you made those new banners for the sci-fi/fantasy forums?  |

No Aragorn on that? Bah. I'll see what I can do. That's a lot of images, lol. But it can be done. |

You could use the right side of that picture, Aragorn instead of Legolas, not sure if it would 'match' because of the shadow, though...

 Questions, comments, etc. are welcome. Sorry this was a bit late, Darth Real Life, Lord of the Stress led a campaign against me. But I had time now.  |

That's looking great! The only thing I can suggest would be putting the pic of Tolkien nearer or under the logo and make it somewhat more prominent, if that's possible.

I was thinking the same thing. I couldn't make it work though, with the pics and such, there were a lot of them. I thought of taking Gandalf out, think that might work well.
What do you suggest?

IMO, it's great the way it is. I wish I was that good. |

I'm not sure if it would work, but what about switching Gandalf and putting him on the far left and put the Grey Havens Pic and the Logo to the right of Tolkien?
edit - oh, and you could reverse the Grey Haven's Pic horizontally to make it fit.

Tried that, didn't look as good.
Also, if I had to pick, I'd put the title on the left side, not the right. Cause you read from left to right... That's my reasoning. Also, the text didn't show up that great if I put it next to where Tolkien and Gandalf are now.

I guess Gandalf will have to go then. Gandalf has to go in there somewhere... How about just Gandalf in this pic?  |

That might work better actually... EDIT: How's this? I think it looks better...  |
