Default STOP! - "Banner Time!"

A bit of cheekiness from me on that one.

I know there are bigger concerns with AFF, but are we having a banner change? Soon? Or is it still in a state of design? Or is it being ledt there until the Australia Day banner, if we have one? I always look forward to the next one to be placed up after a special period banner.

Will the next be a special edition banner with the design of the promotional wrap comp winner layout? NOW that would look good!

Nice work FGNewbie...Not so keen on having a "burnout" on the banner. Just my personal opinion.

Love the meat pie and Kangaroo though. Excellent photoshop.

Maybe just put a small sachet of sauce on the side? Then folks can choose to have sauce if they want....

I must admit, I wasn't too impressed with the burnout
I'll redo it and look for some sauce too

Makes sence. If AFF is going to wrap the ute like that then would look good having it in the Banner too.

What is it about bloody kangaroos to make things look Australian? They are nothing but vermin and the only good one is a dead one, providing that they haven’t done $15,000 dollars damage to the Kenworth you’re driving. Then they’re not even good dead.

Not sure about the superstition bit, it’s actually the 5th of January which is the twelfth day of Christmas, that’s when you take the decorations down. Tradition has it that the three kings turned up on the twelfth day, the fifth of January, to visit the baby Jesus.

Not that I know much about it, I wasn’t there at the time.

FG you are a champ! Give the man a hand! I think the burnout is great, my screen twisted backwards after i scrolled down the page. The torque of that ute........

I also see the banner got changed in the time I had to re-start my computer.....

Hmm
Just thought that the Banner needed to represent Fordforums itself, our community pretty much
This is what i came up with when editing Newbies banner to convey The Ford Forum Community and what we are like
Hit the nail on the head I think...
