I'm not sure why the first letter of every word has to be red. That's not chaotic, that's an orderly pattern Otherwise it looks good. Reminds me of the Chaos cultists in Mortal Kombat: Decepticon.

Maybe one of the letters should be green?

style, *looks around for some style*, there's style? And here was me thinking that this was a large(ish) collection of individuals...

I like it. The only thing I have about it is that it looks grainy, but that may be Will's computer. He has a special program called ZoomText that enlarges the screen for him, but it controls all of the computer's visual parameters - to the point where he can't run some computer games because he can't change the resolution. But then it's more important for him to be able to use his computer for reading than playing games. We've got my computer to play games if we want.

I kept it fairly low res for ease of loading, Silva, so it might be that. I hope! If it's like that on your other computer, too, I shall be worried... Thanks for your comments

Wow! Janggut, those are utterly amazing. I'm gonna make a complete liar of myself, and pinch the top one for the main banner, if you don't mind. While I love the 'Scones are sold here' line - I laughed out loud ;D - I'm bound to get actual enquiries if I put that one up... ;D Edit: The top one is perfect as is, I think. No need for further embellishment, though I appreciate the offer

the new banner is more interesting/well done imho... i didn't say anything but i disliked the old/previous one. the "chaos" symbol reminded me much...hmm...the nazy symbol (not the suastica, but the one they would put up on the air force planes, tanks and such...). just my subjective/personnal 2 cents... the new one is lesser visible and the "surrounding" environment is more itneresting... it would be interesting for the members to present some possible options for future banners/logos... regards

We still need forum banners for most of the forums, it must be said. Steve is in charge of that, though, so anyone with ideas can pester him about it ;D
Please remember though, if you DO fancy having a go at banner design, that while I am certainly grateful for all efforts, I cannot guarantee that they would all be used. Please don't be offended if Steve or I can't find an immediate use for everyone's efforts.

Right now, regarding banners, I'm presently in the planning stages. My main guideline is that whatever forum banners we ultimately use should reflect what the forum is about and what Chaosites actually discuss. Because the forum is about the community, not about just what Elliot and I think are cool. Beyond that, I am certainly open to discussion regarding submissions, banner suggestions, or anything of that nature. All thoughts and efforts are appreciated, regardless of what we ultimately use.

glad u like it, EK. took me quite a while to find/decide the right pix for the banner plus colour scheme is quite a nightmare to work at. so i thought maybe monochrome works better for now. sorry for the late reply to all the posts as i had a day off on friday & i happen to be online now just because i'm somewhere near a computer that's online. yes, it's unnatural for me to be online on weekend. ;D i have a few more banners at work which 1 or two are Ilyanna-related while others don't. the line - scones are sold here - that's a chaotic line as it's just pure randomness at play. don't ask me why or how that line got in there. ;D

@ pedro -> glad the master photographer likes it too! i used photoshop, some funky looking font from the net, ms word to make the banner. why ms word? sadly i have no vector-based drawing program to draw the chaos symbol so i had to resort to ms word to draw two 4-directional arrows, one on top of the other & then played around with the shape a bit to give the chaos symbol more interesting & crest-like look. took me a long time to transport that shape out of word to photoshop as there would always be some part of the arrows cut off. in the end, i saved that shape as a graphic file then used photoshop to 'extract' it out. had to resize many times to get it right. come to think of it, there'sno needfor me to use photoshop as Serif Software's PhotoPlus 6 (which is free, btw) can do layering as well as photoshop. the only advantage photoshop has especially in the case of this banner is the 'magic wand' tool. that saved me a heck lot of stress as it was very hard to 'extract' Ilyanna's pix out from the original file as the lines aren't clean, too much 'noise' etc. i think u can see that the banner is far from perfect. hope i can fix it as soon as possible. @ mr Grey ->i have a more universal banner in mind for this forum. hope i can finish it soon.

It may be 'far from perfect' to YOU Janggut, but it's way better than mine! So I'm definitely happy with it, thanks I am most curious to see your other efforts now, though, I must confess...

Janggut: Sounds good. By all means, take as long as you need. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
