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 design seeds website. 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

Thank you!

I actually quite like the current colours, it's easy on the eyes. Something similar maybe?

Of course. We can stick with default colours, but would those colours suit the show? Maybe some grey without the strong blue or orange shades? Maybe pick a different colour for areas like the links, bars, & buttons that fits the show more but is still easy on the eyes?

Maybe take a look through these pages & see if any colour schemes jump out at you: Metal Grey / Aluminium Grey / Charcoal Grey
Those collections are just searches by colour so some will have lots of colours while others will be softer & more grey shades. Unfortunately there isn't really a page with just grey-only colour schemes. You may find some in the Winter Tones collection too. Otherwise a Google Images search of grey colour schemes design seeds might help too.

While I was go through those links I did come across these which might work:
Colour View 116
Colour View 136
Succulent Tones 11
Winter White
Creature Cuddles

I can't really associate the show with any colours. I love blue and pink however.

Something like this? #A3C5C5 #F9D5D3

I've never seen the show so I can't really judge what colours suit the show but looking at promotional pictures they seem to have natural tones, greys, darker & muted greens & blues, some browns. I don't know if that is something would interest you or you'd agree would work?

Maybe something like this which uses your blue shade, either with or without your pink?

I really like this pallet...though it doesn't offer much in terms of color. I think the realm of greys/blacks/browns would work best for the show.

yeah, those shades are great Chelle, I like the last one the most. But I'd take Hannah's suggestions as well. I'm not really set on anything, all is good!

I don't know about photoshoots but there are some promo images here:

It would be nice to use the Wolf School Witcher Symbols found there.

Is it just the three characters which need to be included?
Spoiler TV has three individual symbols as well as the one which is combined. Would you want all incorporated (if possible) or just one of them?
I don't know how usable it is but there's also this group shot

I really wish that there were better photos for this. I believe the main people we'd want is Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri. (I'd also want Jaskier but there are just no good images to work with.)

I put this album together that I hope would be helpful. I can scour for more in the meantime. (I wish they were better quality. )

As for symbols this or this would be best. The wolf symbol is the main one...but the combined one wouldn't be bad.

You can always look to see if there are usable episode stills for that character if there are no promotionals

Yeah...even just the stills are bad quality.

There are more pictures of some of the characters here. I can't see Jaskier there, but I don't watch the show so could be wrong. The other three are there though. This seems to be the only option for him & he has an odd look on his face

Personally I haven't come across any poor quality pictures?
