Migrated topic.

It's been over a year and the pink is starting to rot my mind.
The front page is still awesome as ever, but The nexus harbours many artists
who Im sure could compete for a bit of a showcase..

That's a really good banner!
Is it possible for you to make the "DMT Nexus" letters more dynamic?
Maybe make a "spicey" border.

By dynamic i mean something similar (in theory) to the letters in "maya" on this site, something living.

Jeez, Ash, you just proved we should have a banner contest. I wouldn't say yours can fully replace the current one, but it can be used as a banner set. Maybe we should have different banners for each forum, with the current one as the index page banner...

Multiple banners has a disadvantage that the banner isn't cached by the browser, for low bandwidth connection this might post a problem.


Kind regards,

...Or on phones, possibly? Particularly with a weak signal a constant refresh would, I imagine, make using the nexus quite difficult on phones outside urban centers.

Indeed on phones. And making the banner too small (either by compression or pixel size) ain't nice either. As always we are looking for the best compromise.


Kind regards,

More banners!!!!!!!!!!!!

I changed the font and added more light and a few extra images:

Nice work mate, the only think I dislike are the human faces and other things manifesting the real world. It look more like pure harmala vision then DMT vision, so to speak.The clowny or picasso like faces in current banner are much more contemporary

HOWEVER I really like and actually had the same idea like this fellow.

I love the image that's there at the minute, but what would be great is if it could integrate more with the whole page. If the colours/patterns were integrated along the menu bars and general background of the page rather than it being an image plonked at the top of the page.

The banner should be expanded (perhaps slightly modified) and fused together with background.

Maybe you should try work on it Ash, with your powerful phothoshop, mate


BTW. Traveler, would it be hard to swap the background and font over in the posts? Like font will be black and background white ?
 
I gotta admit I just hate the current banner it just doesnt go with the forums color scheme which I like so dont change that. Call me a fuddy duddy but I think something a little more conservative would be nice.
 
Can it be made optional?
In the same way that the theme can be changed you could go into your profile
and change which banner to use.
 
Is this really such an important issue? The traveler does a bang up job running and maintaining this site, has designed a fantastic looking banner, and we're trying to burden him with further programming duties to have alternating/user-choice banners so we can personalize our DMT NEXUS experience?

Maybe I am in a minority here in not considering this a particularly pressing or important issue, but I can well imagine the traveler has his hands quite full already and is, I am sure, juggling all sorts of problems and conflicts of which we will never be aware and which allow this site to continue unhindered and unencumbered.

I thought this was an important perspective to bring to the discussion. Again, we are a community, and if I am the only voice for this perspective, i'll gladly STFU!!:)

Ash - those are great looking banners BTW. I do have to admit I have grown quite fond of the current one however, and would be a little sad to see it replaced.

But - I ain't awefreed 'O a lil chaynje, needer!!
