Hi everyone,
Many thanks to user Calidelphia for creating our new banner. Looks great and is 100x better than the 10 minute mashup job thats been up there for years.
If you have any suggestions on the theme colors, we can discuss here. This thread will be locked and deleted in a week or so.
~Joe

Hate to be negative in the first comment, but Lionel's picture is a mirror image. Check the ELLAS AL jersey.

Like the changes. Only suggestion, on the mobile version, we've got two versions of yellow happening, and the one at the top the contains "The Official Forum..." text is out of place compared to the rest of the theme. Not sure if they give you that much control with the mobile editing.
Overall, nice stuff.

I thought this was going to be a new banner at Tom Gola thread.
New graphic looks killer. Can we change the font? Arial or Helvetica would be preferred.

Thanks for the feedback so far.
I was conflicted about doing the mirror image but it seemed like the best way to get the image into the banner. Could have switched the side and not used the mirror image but wanted the legends on the left and ramon on the right (modern day legend). Would have liked to have more past and present players but it looked too busy. Good eye by the way.
For the font (can't tell if joking or fan of san serif fonts) I wanted to use something with Serif that reflected a similar font used by the school.
can this season start already?!?

I like the way it looks, I think it's fine.
Back when I was in school, and involved in WEXP, every fall, a freshman would come in to the first meeting, and say he was big into computers/ web design, and he wouldn't mind taking control of those responsibilities, since the position was inevitably open, and the website was barely operational. Since the kid was very energetic, and willing to take on responsibilities (not something often jumped at in college) he would always be given free hand.
But since he was so energetic, rather than fix a few problems from the website the kid a year before made, he'd want to start from scratch because " XYZ Computer nonsense is a much better way to do EFG computer nonsense." So then we'd have no website most of the first semester while it was being built and toyed with. The kid would get burnt out and sort of give up by mid February, at which point we'd have another brand-new, half done thing. A few more things would break in the summer, that kid would totally be gone by the first meeting in August, and we'd be back to the top of this post.
My point in all this, if there is one, is the guy did the thing- well. Let's not go insane over minutia.
Thanks again Cal.

I get what you were going for now with the LA SALLE font. I like the mirror image - it's an Easter Egg of sorts. |
