FordForums top banner proposal.. - Page 2

4Vman · 01-04-2009, 05:26 PM

Looks great, Keep the Terri and GT and maybe replace the F6 ute with a G6ET and it covers all bases: Family, Performance and Luxury..

Silly question, but is there any way to have multiple banners available. For example, the user selects the banner they want by clicking the existing banner and it takes them to a page with a dozen or so chosen banners. They select the banner they want, hit save and this then sets the banner so whenever they log in, that banner is showing for them. Maybe it just updates their cache with the new banner and points to it.

Just an idea.

Needs some variety, 3 FPV's with 2 FG's? I don't think so! DJR320, TE/S50 and Terri.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 01-04-2009, 08:59 PM

i think people need to get with the times. Besides the banner isn't the summary of what you'll find in the forums, it's just a static graphic at the top of the page, who cares! I think the design with the three fpv's looks great and would blend in very well with the current layout.

kenz · 01-04-2009, 09:03 PM

I like it. I own a BA and couldnt care less that there isnt a BA in it, there is 2 FGs and a terri in it, its current....

Cam · 01-04-2009, 09:07 PM

Why not a Terry, GT, and a Xr5T?

Nostalgia · 01-04-2009, 09:22 PM

How about a banner showing a XK, FG, and a Fairlane, possibly ZH as that was the most individual one, apart from ZA, ZB, ZC and ZD.

Why does the banner have to be all new stuff.

Ford did exist before 2009 !

A bit of history is my opinion for the banner.

The XK most definitely should be there.

Geez Louise · 01-04-2009, 09:31 PM

It doesn't matter what Fords are put up....Can't please everyone...you put up an AU, BA people will complain...go a bit older, put up an XA...XB,XC people will complain.

I like the new design. At least someone is giving it a go! Keep it current...that way it can be changed as the cars change.

2fishingdogs · 01-04-2009, 09:35 PM

I like the idea of the euros up there. Maybe the Terry than the GT or G6ET then a focus or fiesta.

slickpencil · 01-04-2009, 09:40 PM

I'm beginning to believe what the moderators were saying - "You cant please Everyone".

Would be happy to create a flash animated banner instead of the static jpeg. it will showcase slideshows of different banners with different cars in a certain interval randomly. The only issue would be the bandwith.. so that will lead as back to the static jpeg..

I kinda agree with 4Vman "..Family, Performance and Luxury.."

I think thats the best idea that way it covers most.

Have the F6X, GT and maybe an XR5

caputo23 · 01-04-2009, 09:52 PM

new one is good, so much better with a bit of quality rather then the blurry current one

**Dave R** · 01-04-2009, 09:54 PM

What font is used on the current banner? I can only find "Ford Script" but it is slightly different..

**Peuty** · 01-04-2009, 10:52 PM

Doesn't have a Mk1 Zephyr.

How prejudice.

mikestp · 01-04-2009, 11:39 PM

Looks great, good choice of cars
whatever cars you have there will still be somebody complaining that THEIR car isn't in it so don't worry about them
My only criticism is that the cars look like they have neons and i don't think we want these forums getting confused with the jap forums or anything

Great Banners, Slick Pencil and Adrenaline!

Mods/dudes who run the site: would it be possible to rotate the banners, and have a different one every day?

You could then please (almost) everyone with banners like:

XC Cobras old school
Cobras XC-BF
FGs (G6T, XR8, F6)
AU XR1, XR2, XR Rebel
E-Series ED,EF,EL XRs
etc...

I'd be glad to help make some up!

I like that combo ^^^^

Someone needs to get to work on a banner with these cars, I would, but it would end up like this -

And I doubt we're going to be seeing that at the top of the page any time soon.

Now that's what I was about to suggest - Anyone willing to have a go?

**fordomatic** · 02-04-2009, 05:57 PM

why cant we change to this one mods. this one looks awsome is way more brighter not blurry and doesnt have 2 au's in it.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 02-04-2009, 06:01 PM

the sharpness of the focus looks a little out of place in comparison with the other two cars, but still good none the less..

Consider this my vote!!! Great job Slickpencil!

R0BD0G · 02-04-2009, 08:15 PM

after looking at this thread i only just realised the banner has an FG now instead of the bf.... and 2 AU's STILL!... the terri/FG/ XR5 combo looks great.. +1

fou_bleu · 02-04-2009, 08:20 PM

THAT. IS. SO. TOTALLY. AWESOME!!!! Please admins, consider this banner!!!!!!

Coogs289 · 02-04-2009, 08:23 PM

+1 for that ^^^ although, maybe you should either "unsharpen" the focus or sharpen the gt and terri as well??? bloody great stuff though slickpencil!!!

cheers, Anthony

2fishingdogs · 02-04-2009, 08:56 PM

Now that looks better and covers most of the current cars. Just have to change the focus's focus
