Board Recustomization

Hi everyone ,

The Fan Forum Graphics Team is in the process of (re)customising message boards and now it's your turn!

If you have any picture or colour suggestions please post them in this thread. Don't post (hotlink) the pictures, links to them are fine. Make sure that the pictures are of as high quality as possible and that the top of the head of the person in the picture isn't cropped off. We also like to use photoshoot images when possible, preferably individual pictures of each cast member. When suggesting colours please keep in mind that some colours will work better than others. The Team usually tries to avoid really vibrant and dark colours because we have found in the past that they are hard to look at for long periods of time. If you would like some help coming up with colour combinations we recommend checking out the design seeds website.

Everyone is encouraged to voice their opinions for this as you are the ones who will be posting on the board and we hope to make as many people happy with the finished result as possible. It does not matter if you are a board moderator, regular poster, or casual poster here. If you have a suggestion, please share it here with us .

Your suggestions for possible pictures and colours will be taken into serious consideration, but in the interest of seeing every board receive the best customised look possible the final decision concerning how this board will be customised will be made by the members of the Graphics Team. This is because we want to make sure that the selected graphic and colours fit into the overall design scheme that we've established for Fan Forum.

For a full explanation of the message board customisation process, see this thread. If you have any questions, please feel free to send Mel, Catia or Chelle a PM or ask the Team on the message board customisation thread.

Please leave this topped until a week or so after the board has been (re)customised.

Note: It usually takes less than two weeks for us to finish making the new banner and the sooner we know what you want, the more we can work on it (though it can take a few months or so to set it up with the new colours on the board), so please let us know your suggestions as soon as possible.

When the Team have made and voted on a winning graphic I will close this thread until the graphic and colours get put up. It will then be re-opened so that you can share your thoughts about it.

Mel, Catia and Chelle

I know at one point that we had a type of red (almost pink like in color) so that would be somewhat nice for a change. Other than that, the only thing I can think of is a blackish color.

Both red & black are harsh colours so could only be used very minimally, we try to avoid using them at all. Understandably they are colours which fit at least Buffy & I presume Angel (I've only watched one of the two shows)

Would you like to keep the same characters who are in the banner now?

^ Yes, I think the characters that are on right now is pretty perfect since of course this board merged both Angel and Buffy boards.

Agreed
And those are the main characters from both shows of course.

Any other color suggestions? Or photos?

I think a teal/darker blue combo might be cool I agree with leaving the same characters in the banner.

For the pictures, I'm not sure how usable they are, but how would you feel if we used the Buffy Reunion Pics? Or would you prefer the promotional pictures from the show like you have now?

If others like the idea of teal/blue, how about a combination of these: one/two?

I'm aware of that. That's why I said light and pinkish in regards to red. Whatever the rest of the posters here want I'm fine with.

I think using the photos from the reunion would not be favorable, since not everyone was there and there are other Angel characters like Gun and Fred.
I believe using the same photos from the current banner would be most useful.

The reunion pictures are fantastic, but I'm partial to this...

I mean unless there's other usable pics for Gunn and Fred that could be combined with the reunion pics?

All in all it's whatever you all prefer.

I also think they don't really look in character in those reunion pics, but if that's not a concern for you guys, we could definitely adjust the colouring of the other pics.

Yeah I'd kind of prefer them to look in character in the pics used for the logo.

There are a lot of pics for each character on that site, so if anyone wants to take a look...
