i have my first attempt for the logo here under the wlallpaper, you can just rigiht click and grab it, let me know what the exact dimensions are you need and I can adjust.

I can also add flash a lil laterif ya want but want to get it all sized and perfectly etc first

crawl, take a look at the new theme. the "banner" if you will (and we can probably change it) is currently made up of 2 diffent images. the one on the left is 364x226 and the right one is 426x151. I'm not sure how we'd mix them into one larger image, or a flash file right now, but i have bigger fish to fry atm

not a problem , im purposelessly made the black fade so i could seperate if i had too. Not a problem be back in 20

alrighty take a look again at that page should be good for now, i can get as fancy as ya want later when your comfortable with this nuke stuff.

looks pretty cool, that text may need to be a little more orange than yellow, but hard to say w/o loading it up - what would be really cool is if we could get some new forum avatars *wink* *wink*

The wallpaper up there would make a perfect logo if the text were darker

well i could do that easily but the banner would have to be one big one, not two split in uneven halves. Let me know if we can do it and the size needed.

Crawl if you get the text of Wanderers in the Wallpaper a little darker. I can split anything half

you want me to resize it? or just darken lettering and let you mess with it?

The first image is 364 x 226

The second one is 426 x 151

so if you could make something 790 pixels long I can split it

done- oops missed your lst post, well again splitting will be very hard to get the paper grain and tinting to match up perfectly since for some reason they are different heights, I think a split banner is kinda dumb but i never work with nuke sites, but you did seem to get one banner for the last theme.

feel free to work with that wallpaper, iam sure it can be done, but will require some trials and time to get it right.

If it helps...keep the border in the Right side along the bottom. Just do your best and I will see what I can do

gonna let you mess with it since they way i do my websites graphics is trial and error, pop up, look, pull down, fix ,repeat etc etc
since I really cant do that here I'll let you mess with it.

I will give it a go I never liked the split image thing unless you were making a template in PS and you were going to slice it to fit in the tables correctly.

The slicing didn't go so well....what I have up now is temporary

ugh, why not use my first stuff ( dragon and gold wanderers title)as temporary, the stuff up there now is all out of focus morphed etc. ick

edited

We can do that

cool its still on that page, its sized and should be good to go

Might I ask what the edited post was about? You have to leave the border at the bottom in there for the left side or it looks retarded

sure, I was on the forum and I thought you guys removed the very cool orangish title bars, then I went to the home page and found it was there that I saw em and that they were still up ( I think they look awesome) so anyway it was just a mistake on my part . Site is really looking good guys

The problem with the dragon on the right is that we need to keep the border on the bottom hehe

seems the left image is too big and the lettering in the right needs to be bigger, let me change the color in the dragon one from blue to orange to help match and shrink it some and fix the right, ill have the fixes up in a ew minutes

Cool man

ok done, take a look, pop em up and we can go from there when ya get a chance

Done...I like it

the only thing i would change, is make the background on the skeleton black, hes kind of in an almost black box, would look better all one color imo

HUh? I dont see it, must be different momitor settings, what ill do is darken all the shadow on that images and that should take the background to black, ill pop it up in a sec.

OK, i darkened all the shadows ( so everyone should see what im seeing, one black consistent background) and i scooted him over a lil to try to create a more centered feel for everything. Let me know if any other adjustments are needed

PS. ALso I added another right image as you'll see that incorporates the sites sidebars, take a look pop it up see if ya like it.

i'll throw it up there now

almost, the shading is off on the border now, but here is what i was thinking, replacing the layout of the html that governs that part of the page from being a split left/right to being a top/bottom split. the bottom image will be full width and it will be just that little border. then above it will be 1 solid image, that should make mixing/matching the 2 images much easier, and could also be replaced more easily with something flash if desired.

Looks pretty good, not sure there is much more we can do to center it etc, but loks pretty good, let me know if ya have any more ideas, I guess there just is some divide between the two image areas, not sure there is anything we can do to center anything with that there, anyway things are coming along nicely

OH OK let me know the size and Ill make one solid large banner, that be great thats what i was hoping for all along

again, ill mess with the border shading but i don't see it perosnally, do you have your contrast turned way down? contrast allows for vibrant colors, without it everything looks washed out, anywho its an easy fix, just hard for me to see it.

Once we get the big banner section the way we like I can easily introduce flash into it once I know what we want the finished image to look like.

Crawl, I don't know if this willl help at all, but here's a blown up screenshot of the problem...



My Dell LCD is pretty much at factory settings contrast/brightness wise.

There's basically some detail missing out of the border in the logo file that's there in the normal background.

[edit]

Pardon me for playing backseat artist, but it almost looks like a layer effect is being drawn over the border that I assume you grabbed off the original logo...

oh ok i thought your where talking about the right image and the border i added in there, oh ok ill fix that up- no problem down there

OK should be fixed, give it a shot when ya get a chance ,

Ayng, instead of doing that you maintain the 2 cell first row and then just add a second 1 cell row for the bottom of the table? It's not a huge deal, but I kind of like that the 2 pieces justify when you view at different page widths. It is kind of odd that they put the border into the logo files....

Or actually, based on what I'm seeing...I think you could just take the border out of the image and do this:



The header1 class I think just applies the border background.

Height of the first image could still be the same, minus the border height.

[edit]Minor fix to the code.
