Thanks so much, Rae! This is awesome!
I suppose two color suggestions might be blue, for a French horn, and yellow, for a certain umbrella. I hope everyone who has an idea can submit their suggestions here soon! Anything would be appreciated! __________________

Maybe blue will work out, but a bit lighter? More like baby blue?

I like that idea, Arinna. A light blue is less harsh. The deeper blues like the Dr. Who board are a bit tough to look at. Light blue or baby blue sounds nice.

We would use light blues as the main colours and the blue from the blue horn would be used in limited places as that blue would be too harsh on the eyes . Would you prefer to have blue as the main colour or yellows? There are lots of different colour combinations out there but this one is half yellow and half blue to help get you thinking which you would prefer. We could then use the other colour for things like the buttons and links. So you could have a yellow board (a little like you have now only more yellow than brown) with blue in those parts, or you could have a blue board with yellow for the buttons and links. This is another one which has both and appears closer in shades to the horn and umbrella and we would just need to add some paler shades of the main colour used so it is not too harsh. But the team knows how to do that and we do not make dark boards anymore so you do not have to worry about that (I am also going to presume you have not been to the Doctor Who board in a while as it is no longer blue and that was one reason we updated it but we know how it used to be to know what you were talking about).
There are lots of different colour schemes out there so feel free to check out the design seeds website to see if you can find something you like Of course if you do not want to use the yellow at all and wish to stick with blue that is fine as well . I did see this colour scheme which may be a possibility? We could then use the brighter and darker blues from the blue horn for the bars, buttons, and links |

do you have any picture suggestions?
Here are some I could find from season 9 for each of the characters but not sure if you want to go with the final season or something earlier? Also would you like Tracy/The Mother included or just the main five? Ted / 2 Marshall / 2 Robin / 2 Barney / 2 Lily / 2 __________________

Thanks for all of those links! I do like the sky blue and the sunflower blue and yellow combination. I really wish my co-mod weren't on vacation right now so she could help me out here. I'm a guy and girls just do this better.
I really like all of those pics of the cast members. I don't think I'd want the mother included because she really isn't a main cast member, but other posters might disagree. I just know that I would like to stick to the main five. __________________

That first one you posted with the lighter blues and yellows was nice. The second seemed a little dark, I hate the darker color schemes, seems like it's harder to read on some of those boards.
I hadn't seen those pictures before, those are great, the group shots on that site are cute too. I'm 50/50 on Tracy being in it. __________________

We no longer make dark boards but can still incorporate dark colours into the customisation. Nothing that I suggested would be too dark; the second one simply needs to be combined with some paler shades which could be taken from one of the other colour scheme suggestions . That colour scheme was an example of shades of blue and yellow which appear similar to the horn and umbrella colours which had been suggested in this thread.

Oooh, then in that case the second one you posted is a prettier color scheme.

I agree. I still wish we had more input, though.

I agree, a light blue would be less harsh.
The current colours are really nice though. __________________

We have now finished making all the graphics and the Graphics Team are going to vote on a winner, so this thread will now be closed until the colours and graphic have been set up - then we will re-open it so you can tell us what you all think!
If you have questions please post them on the Info Center's Message Board Customization Process Thread, but please check the opening post to see if your question has been answered there first. Thank you everyone, Rae. |
