    We chose comic sans because it is tasteful and professional. And I saw it in a Powerpoint presentation and I thought it looked really sharp.

    Can you do some kind of animated fade or screenwipe in? Maybe include some tire screeching or other stock sounds.

    Well, this is what happens when the people who said they would make a new banner do not. This is what happens when a monkey like me makes a banner real quick. So this is what we get until I get the cash set aside for a professional to make us a banner.

    Okay, I'm a little behind on the forum (been kinda busy with work and painting in the garage) what happen to the logo with the cars? and before I get lambasted, I did look for an answer before asking.

    No need to hire a professional, Russ. I got ya covered. You can simply credit me as being the guy that made the banner.

    No responses I see. You guys must be in awe of my graphic design skills. It must be the J.J. Abrahms lens flare. That's what separates the men from the boys.

    Well, the website is MNSubaru, and the official club is MNSOC. Figured that we should probably label them correctly.

    Oh hell, I didn't mean to stomp on toes, I thought we were having some sort of missing file issues or something.

    If I had a shred of design capability I'd try to slap something together, but alas, I have nothing.

    Not worried about it. If I had a shred of design capability we would have something better then what is displayed.:laugh:

    If you are looking for someone, here is a sample of some of my wife's stuff

    This is some of her older work, she's been working corporate for a couple years now and has not updated this with her newest stuff but she still does some freelancing.

    This brings up an interesting prank idea, that I may use later if I can hammer out the details. But essentially, every colored box on thiis page acts like a small HTML frame...not quite, but pretty close to how it works internally to the theme set. If someone really wanted to make a forum look the absolute worst, you could write up a PHP script that loads a random photobucket image every time the page is refreshed, then populates that image as the repeating background of every single frame in the themeset.

    What that means in non-nerd terms is: Everytime you refreshed the page, instead of that strange woman, you would have any number of the millions of photos that were ever uploaded to photobucket as the background of the thread frames. It would make for maximum confusion that's for sure.

    It looks like the chick in the main page is a blonde, so it doesn't appear to be the same chick on both pages. I have tried refreshing but I still get it.

    FAIL. On the OP for putting this into OT, and on me for not noticing.

    It belongs in The Front Office.

    None of that is me. That is a end user issue, not a site issue.

    And for april 1st, I would just turn the site off and leave for a week, I am not going to waste hours getting pics in the background. Because to do that, you would seriously need to hit up 5-6 stylevars and work with the pictures to make it lay out like that. This place isn't worth that kind of time just for a joke.

    i like the banner, its simple and thats all it needs to be. maybe a different, sharper font would look better, without the white around the letters...just my 2 cents.

    I like them, but I'd try to make something less tall so it fits in the banner area better.

    The original thread said we could do 1024 x 1024 if we wanted, so I just made it look like something I liked. I can make the swoosh smaller.

    I just measured and it is only 200 pixels tall, so it's not very tall, it just looks it.
