XTreme Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 If you don't see any difference just empty your browser cache and check again. There's 3 bikes facing forward left and 3 facing forward right. Obviously there's not unlimited space there.....they have to fit between the title on the left and the user options on the right......so 6 was the optimal number with @boboneleg in the middle. Let me know what you think? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I'm a bit ugly to put in the middle, perhaps somewhere near the back 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I like Bob's area in the middle, and the letters, but really don't like the rest. It's both too gloomy and too busy. Looks like a sci-fi movie scene. Having said that, I wouldn't have been able to do that kind of thing, and it does go along with the forum's color. I was here a while ago and just now noticed the new banner after clicking on this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooN Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I like it but Pedro's right in that it is a bit gloomy, which is probably mostly down to the general colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've slightly lightened it.....hit CTRL and F5 to see it. But what you have to bear in mind is has to be in empathy with the styling of the forum itself. If you stick things on there with multiple bright colours it's going to be completely at odds with everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see your bike in the header because we have a duplication of models with the Enfields at the moment. But unfortunately your photographic skills are only slightly better than Buck's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even into the middle spot, but Bob does look good. If I knew we could include riding action shots then I would have. Next time.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The riding shot wasn't planned.....I originally thought just the bikes. But Bob submitted that and it looked quite impressive......so it was handy to use it to break up the two groups of bikes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 It was a bit much when I first saw it, but it is growing on me. Making it lighter did help. I understand what you are saying about keeping with the look of the forum but orange/red and teal/blue are always very nice together. Perhaps a sepia tone instead, it would work with the blue and grey and warm it all up. Just a suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sort of stepping stone really. Now people can get an idea of the type of shots we need I'm sure we can get better ones going forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh.....but you gotta think outside the box here Pedro. Ask yourself what geographic area is this site most likely to appeal to? You can discard any non-English speaking countries for a start, and while we've always had North American members with us, the predominant demographic has always been Brits. So there's no point in designing a header with various exotic locations etc.....they can't relate to that. So we had to come up with an image that they could relate to, and identify with. And what could be better than a gloomy, post-apocalyptic wasteland representing some sort of Mad Max-style world borrowed from dystopian fiction? It's home from home for them! Result I'd say! What you say @Tym? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
