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

awesome! I'll have to look into some colours tomorrow... I would love a fresh look and something different than the purple/yellow colour we have right now

and as for the graphic I really need to think of that...
Doing a male or female celeb in the banner is tricky because everyone has its favourites...
Could we just be doing a male and female silhouette along with some other attributes like in this banner that represent TV, movies and such?
Or a different 'celeb icon' from the past?


Curious to know anyone else's ideas!

How about taking some trophys and the Hollywood sign in the banner?
Academy Awards, Peoples Choice, etc.

Color... well, I like grey and pink

oh I like that idea as well It's very neutral at least.. I think it should remain neutral

Pink and grey work well together though pink is a very female colour Though in this setting I like it.
Not sure if I want a colour that's more neutral?
The purple in the current setting feels a bit too female as well for a male/female celeb forum Though pink in a right dosage could work.

I do like colours like these as well..

You could do pink & blue with greys if you don't want to be too feminine

Your last suggestion doesn't work as it prompts you to open/save the file to your computer (which I'm sorry but I don't feel like doing )

No. 2 looks nice

Pink is female, but the whole Darren board was pink, so i guess color is unisex here

Generally the colour pink is associated with females. The Darren board wanted a more feminine feel which is why it had shades of pink/purple. There's also no rule saying certain colours must be used for certain genders. It is just a fact that blue is normally used to represent males while pink is used to represent females. As far as i remember when the celebrities were split into two boards the female one was pink while the male one was blue too. You could say its being used as unisex but i think most wouldn't see it that way

I think purple/green (#2) is a good mix as it doesn't use either colour associated with the genders. Yellows & greens are often used as neutrals/unisex when it comes to gender too if that means anything to you guys

So we could use green?
I mean if you mix pink and blue you get some sort of green
But then, I do not like green - except for apple green...

I like the greens in #2 because they match the purple in its tone...
You mean a brighter green Steffi?

Yeah bright, not dark - not like spinach, you know? More like Granny Smith...

You can use whatever colours you want

If you're not a fan of green we could use it minimally. Not sure how apple green goes with purple though

I was more thinking that with purple & green you've got to get the right shades so they look nice together but that could just be me (& my tired brain) . I guess all colours you've got to find the right shades to make them go together . We wouldn't want you to have an all bright board, that'd be harsh on the eyes

If you wanted more of an apple green than what Karen suggested I found this & this. But both of those are more green that purple. We could also take the purples from Karen's suggestion & add in the apple green . If you're not a fan of green though I think Karen's suggestion is more teal so you may prefer that? This one isn't quite apple green & has a darker olive green in it?
