Only issue with colour is it needs to not clash with any of the others in that image.  DId you have thoughts as to what colour you'd prefer on that one?

Another effort!
Why not put out a request from all members to suggest ideas, then those of us who are up for it can try & create them, & it can be bashed around until we are all happy with it.

Also, if admin can give an actual size so it can be designed to fit.

I like number 3 well done for creating these though. Assuming these will be available later as stickers for our bikes, I wouldn't want blue and white slow colours would I

I do like this design Lawrie. I can't see the details of the bikes too well (just me) but assume it's K2 - K7.  Very good idea that.
The blue background is better than the yellow / orange one, how about toning the blue down a bit & doing the fade to white process you've done on the yellow / orange one?

I'm no good at this sort of thing, but would like to see how that looked.   Then incorporate the red, black, blue & white in there some how (as in text / shadowing etc)

I like No.1 as it has a range of 1400 colours.
Perhaps you could update the Banner every couple of years through a member competition. The winners being listed in the Records section for posterity.

Personally I don't like it one little bit, its too large and I think it would have been far better just to have had the logo, without the picture of the 14 in the background) and I loathe shadows on fonts as well  :thumbs_down: :thumbs_down:  :thumbs_down:

PLUS: When you look on a mobile device it just takes over and you can't see anything. I'll see if we can at least get the logo size reduced so at least those looking at it on mobiles can see the forum without it being "all logo"

This is not a logo you could have made up into decals and use either. I can't see anything that goes for it at all.

But that's only my opinion.

I think something like these are far more effective:

I can play with some more ideas on Monday if you like Vlad?

Post by: VladTepes on Sunday, 12 February 2017, 10:54 AM
Don't worry yet Froudy. I'll see if I can get display issues sorted then we'll worry about the actual banner....
Title: Re: PLEASE VOTE - Choose a forum banner
Post by: VladTepes on Monday, 13 February 2017, 05:29 PM
Update;  The bloke who writes the mod for displaying the banner is going to have a look at the code and see what's possible.  We might be able to make it work so it doesn't display on mobiles, only on large screens (desktop computers).

If we can get that sorted THEN we can look at designs...

was thinking today, my 14 t shirts are multiple. the one most notice and ask questions about is the simplest. a black shirt with gsx1400 written across front. gsx is white, 1400 is red. basic but effective. most know that its a suzuki, if not they ask. maybe an idea for our header. i was also thinking a sticker for car,  i ride a 14 or something similar to that. just my thoughts, good or bad.
Title: Re: PLEASE VOTE - Choose a forum banner
Post by: Mrg on Tuesday, 14 February 2017, 07:28 PM
Yes I'd like a shirt like that and a car sticker to nice to have them  good idea
