Title: Banner Test Drive :D
Lothlómendil - July 6, 2006 01:47 AM (GMT)
One of my affiliates, known here as
Elvanshae, has kindly offered to make us a new banner! :D I'm cruising around with the current version, our first draft. There will be some tweaking done with the size and color, but you all have a sweet new banner to look forward to! ^_^

*drools*
I really like this one more than the last Arda banner. That one looked a bit cheesy. This one pwns all...
Tamolux Quintero - July 6, 2006 02:52 AM (GMT)
*drools more* Love the opacity effects. And the color combinations and variations--they fit the background of the site. And the images. Yep, 'tis a great banner! :)

after about an hour of tweaking for the heck of it... lol I came up with this :blink:

however after being told that the other half was a bit rebellious to the color scheme, these other two were born :lol:

Ranewen - July 6, 2006 03:45 AM (GMT)
Pretty, if I may say so myself. ^_^
Alcemy Odoren - July 6, 2006 04:21 AM (GMT)
:w00t: Wow that looks cool. A lot better than the one before.
Maeg'Dae - July 6, 2006 06:23 AM (GMT)

Malefor - July 6, 2006 10:42 AM (GMT)
Banner looks good with the background :lol: nice work!
Destiny - July 6, 2006 12:08 PM (GMT)
I like, but shouldn't it match the colour of the fourm skin?
Lothlómendil - July 6, 2006 12:11 PM (GMT)
As I said, we're changing the colors of the banner. :yes:
Zenith Meria - July 6, 2006 12:15 PM (GMT)
It still looks amazing ^_^ great job.
Destiny - July 6, 2006 12:19 PM (GMT)
Rayn - July 6, 2006 12:38 PM (GMT)
I think it is totaly awesome. It looks just WOW! very cool. =)
Ploay - July 6, 2006 01:14 PM (GMT)
I love the banner Loth! :wub:
Khalida - July 6, 2006 01:19 PM (GMT)
Oh... my.... WOW. The banner is very, very awesome. Three cheers to the artist and designer.
Rayne - July 6, 2006 02:08 PM (GMT)
Dengar - July 6, 2006 02:56 PM (GMT)
Meh... I preffered the old one, simply because I like things to stay the same. I'd gotten used to that one and now having a new one makes me feel confused.
Obsidian Nocturne - July 6, 2006 03:18 PM (GMT)
aw lol no one likes my version! :'( must say though I do love the layout of the original... wouldn't have been able to work on the re-colored one if not for that ;)
Tilorn - July 6, 2006 03:24 PM (GMT)
that banner is the shizzz
Umbra - July 6, 2006 03:28 PM (GMT)
Well before I say my opinion I would like to say that the artist did a good job, and that it was great of them to make us a new banner and I like it but I would have to be blunt and agree with Dengar that I prefer the old one. But its very nice and I think I will get used to it.
Talen - July 6, 2006 06:26 PM (GMT)
I kinda liked the old one, too (this is all four of my forms speaking, btw O.o; ugh...horrible keeping track of'em all...). This one just looks...well...weird...and who's that guy supposed to be anyway? (or girl, to be safe)
Tithy - July 6, 2006 08:38 PM (GMT)
ZOMG! I so like Obs' banner becuase I cant see the other one. LOLZORZ.
Ranewen - July 6, 2006 09:42 PM (GMT)
Since it only took a moment...
Color Scheme Banner.

Umm, I don't mean to sound mean, but the old one was a little childish... My little niece would have loved it. The new one is more mature, if anything in a fantasy world can be called that.
Anywho, that being said, I don't suppose there is any chance of getting a new background? This one kind of scares me.... like a grown man in the womb
Seria Sentrandai - July 7, 2006 01:12 AM (GMT)
Hahaha! Yet another person who hates the background!
*Blocked the image using a FireFox extension...It looks better in navy blue...hehehehe*

Yeah, it freaks me out too. A different one with the same style, minus the creepy man-bubbles, was posted in another of Loth's forums (Learn To Count) and I loved it. o.o
Ranewen - July 7, 2006 02:28 AM (GMT)
The background never ceases to confuse me for some reason. o_O -pokes it with a stick-
Obsidian Nocturne - July 7, 2006 02:17 PM (GMT)
Changing the overall background would be nice lol... was kinda weirded out upon first glance but after a while I kinda got numb to the whole man in the bubble idea :lol: Ranewen.. you desaturated it? :D
Captain Flint - July 7, 2006 02:56 PM (GMT)
No not the background too! :(
Obsidian Nocturne - July 7, 2006 03:03 PM (GMT)
I could try to dig around if not design a background too if yer interested? :w00t:
Talen - July 7, 2006 04:55 PM (GMT)
But I like the background... (speaking for all of himself...except maybe Darkfire, who just hates everything O.o; )
Demetrio Vasquez - July 7, 2006 05:27 PM (GMT)
No offense to the designer and all, but the background doesn't really give good first impressions I think...
It didn't for me at least, but that's just me..In my opinion it makes the site look amateurish. And seeing how obsidian is such an awesome designer why not see what he makes and decided later? Those repeating images in the background are really sometimes annoying..
Obsidian Nocturne - July 8, 2006 02:00 AM (GMT)
lol I'd need a go signal from Loth first as well as on what theme particularly interests her. Some repeating images aren't that bad... I think I even have one that could be repeated of a nice celtic cross that would make a sweet background but I'm not sure how dark you guys want the site to look :D
Captain Flint - July 8, 2006 07:31 AM (GMT)
I think the background should stay the same, as it is completely unique compared to any other invisionfree skin I've ever seen. It has a good balance between bright colours and dark ones, and I personally LOVE that. I don't think making the whole board dark will do anyone any favours as it normally makes everything a lot harder to see and sometimes even has a negative look to it.
The brighter the better, but in this case it is fine how it is :yes:
Lothlómendil - July 8, 2006 08:26 AM (GMT)
Don't worry, I won't be changing the background, despite those that don't like it :D
Captain Flint - July 8, 2006 11:32 AM (GMT)
Whooo!!! *hugs* Well I guess I can cope with the banner changing so long as the background doesn't... *shrugs*
Nitara - July 8, 2006 12:49 PM (GMT)
I like everything bout this site, so well... Great work everyone who helped with the site.
Sanzen - July 9, 2006 08:47 AM (GMT)
Hmmm I like the background anyways, so no problems here :D
Is the banner the final version? No more... revisions? :unsure:
