The Board Index Image (Ideas?)

Post by Scottie »

Anyone have any thoughts on replacing this:

Image

. . . with something more Swampish?

It's 96x48, by the way. And the name is "site-logo.gif". So maybe we can summon up the collective creativity of the lads to create something that size, with that name, so it can simply be uploaded to the server as a replacement for the generic phpBB default.

Any ideas?

Yeah, 'loma. That 1382x1037 jpg is a little small, no?

Anyway. To clarify a couple of things. I don't Admin this place and changing the "masthead" image was something that was on the "to do" list that didn't get done because functionality trumped aesthetics during the rebuild. But it is something that was spoken of often during that time. I suspect that it is still not high priority but it would be nice to personalize it, as it were, to the community.

And I was thinking "logo" as opposed to a photo. That is to say, for example, something one would create in Adobe Illustrator rather than Adobe Photoshop.

Oh, and the other thing was changing the link behind that logo to: viewforum.php?f=2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Right now that link goes to: index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That's 512x75.

To reiterate, the idea is to replace a 96x48 logo.

And I was thinking more iconic. Like a corporate or sports team logo.

Excellent. I'm bowing out from the "competition". My fingerprints are all over this crime scene as it is. Besides, it would be nice to have open contributions.

That's 299x180. It won't fit to replace the current image.

Oh, unless you were just throwing out something to fuck around?

Oh, criminy, no! I'm not for an instant suggesting we use the National Seal Fisting League logo for The Swamp. I posted that because Keg made mention s'all. Strictly for kicks.

(Although I suppose it does serve as an example of "iconic")

His point was that people weren't coming up with legit replacements at this juncture...just throwing stuff out there as a starting point, base idea, or, to just fuck around.

Jerlomes definitely wasn't suggesting we actually replace the button with a picture of me wearing a horsehead before I go deep AND IT GETS CALLED AN OUT BECAUSE FUCK THAT LEAGUE.

Scottie, where do you see that icon? I'm guessing it's different, depending on which look-and-feel you chose? I'm using the blue swamp and I see a different icon up top.

This one:
Image

It looks like it's the same name, so we would just have to replace that in each style?

Dammit. That's what I get for making the assumption that the three different styles' logos would be uniform size. Gak. And, yes, the logo in this thread's first post is from the Maxthon (green) style.

The Prosilver style's logo is this (149x52):

Image

And the Subsilver2 style's logo is this (170x94):

Image

So, yes, all three would have to be replaced. Or, more easily, over-written. So . . . whatever the "winning" submission turns out to be, it needs to be sized thrice. But that's the simple part.
