Forum:Banner

We should have a banner that goes on top of the site.

We may use Tigernose's, but if someone can either improve it, or make a different one, you are welcome to.



Here are examples of banners in action: Tell me what you think.

Comments
I want to keep it small so it does not distract the reader TOO much, but I want to have one so we look more professional. -- seahorseruler | Talk  (EditCount) Yoshi! 02:46, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, something smaller than mine is very important, my banner is so large that Sea could only insert one part of it (it's two images), but making a nice sized down version makes the wiki look professional and great. -- Tigernose  [[Image:Tigernose.png|link=User:Tigernose/profile|20px]]  Chat  •  Edits  18:00, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * If it's going to be on every page, it has to be a fixed size - and plus this one is not wide enough. Also, it wastes space that's better off for articles, and just because the cool guys do it, doesn't mean you have to. And Tigernose's is rather fugly.--Zapwire 19:44, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * It isn't on widescreen screens, but it's not a problem, I can make it wider to fit on widescreen screens definetly, and I can resize it. The one I have is 220px height, but I'm looking to resize that to maybe 150px-200px, although I don't know the definete dimensions because I'm estimating. Don't worry, my banner was simply a prototype and was for personal use anyway. 150px is such a good size, it's barely noticable for being banner. I'll work with that size, but if you're going to call it fugly then at least why. And don't say because of the teal... -- Tigernose  [[Image:Tigernose.png|link=User:Tigernose/profile|20px]]  Chat  •  Edits  19:48, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've got a Firefox window running at 1680x1050, and it's tiny. --Zapwire 21:26, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think I can give it some effects with photoshop, so Wiki has similar letters of the club penguin ones! I'll upload it when finished!--Ratonbat 21:04, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * The font is Bonk Fatty, and anyone can do it. I myself think banners are bad and ameteurish. --Zapwire 21:26, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well Zap, I think we've all understood your opinion... Anyway, what Ratonbat is trying to do is use the style the CP did and create the letters manually. I did use Bonk Fatty to do Wiki, but that was the closest I could get. -- <font face="Tahoma">Tigernose  [[Image:Tigernose.png|link=User:Tigernose/profile|20px]]  <font face="Aharoni">Chat  •  <font face="Aharoni">Edits  21:33, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Make it so the logo is on the left side and im for. Oh and we need to have another skin in order for the Banner to fit in. (But I've always wanted a banner like that)--''' Ced 1214 Talk 21:44, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well then here's your answer. My personal skin. It's the logo on the left side, uses gradients and that stuff, you might not like it, but it's an example. Go to User:Tigernose/monaco.css and preview it! -- <font face="Tahoma">Tigernose  [[Image:Tigernose.png|link=User:Tigernose/profile|20px]]  <font face="Aharoni">Chat  •  <font face="Aharoni">Edits  21:46, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * The banner has to be huge, and I don't like that - also changing the thing in the middle of a vote is shady - some may not want a new skin. I know it's Joeyaa's GOOD version but it wasn't designed for this crappy banner - it'd need a rewrite, plus it's not a good idea anyways. --Zapwire 00:08, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I edited the bottom of Tiger's banner a little, you can see it here. I changed the shadowing and the outline on the word "Wiki". I also changed the wave behind the penguin. -- ' Talk2Meh 00:35, January 19, 2010 (UTC)harkbate Talk2Meh 00:35, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
