Board Customization

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 Color Palettes or Coolors websites. As we want every board to have their own unique look it is preferable that you do not link to the customisations of other boards as suggested colour schemes.

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, Chelle, or Kate 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 approximately 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 finished making the 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, Chelle, and Kate

That olive green with yellow hues is really pretty. The last colour in this one.

What about a blend like this:

If you wish to consider those colour schemes, the second one may be on the too dark/harsh side but the first & third should be fine. You could also look at combining different elements from the colour schemes to reduce the harshness as well as add in different colours so it isn't just blue. I'd actually class Betty's suggestion on the harsher side too. Still usable but something to keep in mind when deciding what colour scheme you wish to go with.

If you're concerned about being too blue or all male celebrities being blue you could look at going with a different colour but then adding in some blue highlights in areas like the buttons, links, &/or the bars. Obviously we can't confirm where a certain colour will end up but if blue is the minor shade in a customisation it will be used in smaller spaces if that makes sense. For example, just using similar colours to what you have now, something like this would result in a brown board with hints of blue. So it would still keep the blue in but it'd be different since it wouldn't be a blue board. Most male boards use blue/green/brown/grey/purple shades so if you want something different & that will pop & stand out maybe look outside of those shades?

While it is still green, yellow/olive tones in this could be nice? Add in a light blue similar to what you've already got here I think that'd pair quite nicely. Just as a suggestion based on those colour schemes posted. Personally I'd mute the yellows a little so they're not as harsh & I'd suggest a pale yellow base/background colour to help make things feel different too.

^^ I did pick out darker colours but here is one with lighter shades.



Chelle, your suggestion is definitely in the wheelhouse of what I was trying to suggest but tried pairing it with a blue hue. Adding yellow's/green's would look really nice.

Betty it was mostly the final two blue shades (especially the second last) which concerned me. It was still usable though, it just may come out brighter which I know can be harsh for some which is why I was mentioning it. Your changes now are more muted now though but either are usable

Looking at that colour scheme it would still result in a more blue-toned customisation with hints of the other colours. But it does show how blue can look with olive/yellow tones.
