Thanks! I look forward to getting a spiffy new look!
Since the show is no longer on the air, I don't think that we really need to change the graphic. All the principles are there, and the MENTALIST logo does a nice job of bringing it all together. But a change of color scheme would be nice. In particular, I think it would be nice to include the light turquoise blue of Jane's teacup. I've posted some pictures below so you can see the color I'm talking about. __________________

A new graphic will be made to match the new colour scheme. We can however keep the same characters (& use the same pictures if they are still available).

I had a little look back in the previous customisation thread & it looks like a few of the pictures from this post still work. I'm not sure that those are the pictures we did end up going with for the current graphic though. Or if there are now other pictures available? I did find these from season 2 but that isn't many characters.
I did a quick look around & found these: Patrick Jane Teresa Lisbon Grace Van Pelt Wayne Rigsby Kimball Cho Dennis Abbott Kim Fischer Jason Wylie Michelle Vega Misc. Collection (may be duplicates to pictures in above links) Is that all the correct characters? For your colour scheme are you thinking any other colours other than the colours from the cup? I did quickly put together this based on the colours from the first picture & this from the second picture __________________

Thanks for diving into the old thread - you saved me the trouble.
I'm terrible with colors, so I purposefully didn't suggest any others. The teacup is iconic,. but I trust the graphics team to come up with combinations that work with it. That said, I think I like this group better - https://coolors.co/223e49-83afb9-c0dddf-a2a089-a18f67 Since the show has been off the air for some time, I doubt there ane any newer pics to find. A couple of suggests - don't use a pic where Cho is smiling. His character is famous for never smiling. And I would not include Kim Fischer. She was never really a regular. I would like to see the romantic couples positioned together - so Jane and Lisbon in the middle, maybe Grace and Rigsby on one side and Wylie and Vega on the other with Abbott and Cho on opposite sides on the extreme outside. __________________

No problem, I had some time. It helps you had it linked in the board guide so it was easy to find
For colours, did you want to go with those colours or try to come up with some others? As we can help you with that. For example what sort of colours do you like? What other colours remind you of the show? We can use those things to help shape a colour scheme for you, or we can go with this one if you're happy with it. Does it matter which sides those characters go on? Should anyone be bigger/smaller than anyone else? I presume Jane biggest, followed by Lisbon the next size? Would you want Grace, Rigsby, Wylie, & Vega to all be the same size but smaller than Lisbon? Then Abbott & Cho the smallest? Or just have everyone gradually getting smaller as they move further away from the lead? Or is there no preference on that? Did you want the Red John face incorporated somehow if we can? __________________

The colours for Jane's cup are gorgeous on the show and thought this one showed the colour best.
I recently binged the series and think your selection is perfect for who should be on the banner. Is this the order preference: Abbott, Rigsby, Van Pelt, Jane, Lisbon, Cho, Wylie, Vega, .....??? Cho was more of a main so would he be better placed after Lisbon, then Wylie, Vega? Or would it be better: Abbott, Rigsby, Van Pelt, Jane, Lisbon, Wylie, Vega, Cho The different text sizes are to reflect the question from Chelle about who should be bigger/smaller than others. |

Thanks for the clearer cup colouring image Betty.
The rest of your post is the same as what I was asking, however I wasn't making presumptions with order or size examples since there are endless possibilities. Everyone could be all the same size, or a whole group the same size with one or two smaller for example. Are you a poster here making a suggestion? __________________

Yes! That's a much better representation of the cup's true color. Thank you.
I like this order preference: Abbott, Rigsby, Van Pelt, Jane, Lisbon, Cho, Wylie, Vega, .....??? It keeps the original team more prominent. Other than including the teacup color, I don't have any preferences. Of course red is definitely a signature color for the series. I'm just not sure if you can include the teacup turquoise and Red John red in a color scheme that will be pleasing. But as I said, I'm a terrible judge of colors so I'll be happy with most anything as long as the turquoise is in there. I'm a little torn on including the smiley face. Frankly, it invokes a lot more creepies and no warm fuzzies. Including it might cast a pall on the board. __________________

Did you want Jane & Lisbon the same size or keep Jane bigger?
Red can also be a harsh colour to use, but the right shades might work with the teacup colouring. I will have a little play around to see what may or may not work later today. But I think the Red John Red may be too harsh. Understandable. I just saw it was mentioned last time so was curious if it was something wanted. Makes sense to leave it off. __________________

I'm sure Heidi would love to have you posting here then now you've discovered the board if you can Betty
Heidi if the teacup colouring is all that you are thinking, perhaps we keep it simple & just go with a colour scheme made from those colours, such as this: Editable Colour Scheme If you wanted some variation/contrast (I know some aren't fans of single coloured boards too), perhaps we include the shades from the other colour scheme in highlight areas (links, buttons): Editable Colour Scheme We could also simply add some contrast with including a tan shade for the background colour, then the rest can be the teacup shades: Editable Colour Scheme If you wanted to include red, a colour such as this shade might work: We could keep it only in the graphic, not in the customisation itself. So you get hints of the red, but then don't get the harshness or the inclusion of the face. ETA: Looking at your comments for placement - Did you want Cho to be on the outer edge like you originally said (but larger than Whilie/Vega)? So: Dennis Abbott / Wayne Rigsby / Grace Van Pelt / Patrick Jane / Teresa Lisbon / Jason Wylie / Michelle Vega / Kimball Cho Or with Patrick Jane bigger than everyone: Dennis Abbott / Wayne Rigsby / Grace Van Pelt / Patrick Jane / Teresa Lisbon / Jason Wylie / Michelle Vega / Kimball Cho __________________

Jane and Lisbon same size. A lot of fans appreciate the strength of Lisbon's character and I would not want to imply that she is in any way subordinate to Jane.
When I saw Betty's suggestion to have Cho next to Jane/Lisbon, I liked that idea. He is one of the original team, so should have placement/size similar to Rigsby/Grace. Then Wylie/Vega smaller and on the outer edge and Abbitt same size as Wylie/Vega and on the opposite side. Abbott, Rigsby, Van Pelt, Jane, Lisbon, Cho, Wylie, Vega A little pop of red in the graphic would be perfect. For example. a lot of people do the MENTALIST banner in red. If you keep the banner in the graphic, you could that. I do think an all blue board might be a little boring. I'm also not sure that a turquoise background would be the best for ease of reading. Although now that I look at it, the Fringe board is almost all blue. I think of your suggestions, I like the 3rd one best: including a tan shade for the background colour, then the rest can be the teacup shades __________________

Are you happy to leave where the pop of red is included in the graphic up to the GT as they make their graphic or would you prefer it used in the logo/text?
When I say background I mean the colour behind where the graphic is. There isn't a lot of text over that colour to read, but as it is always a pale shade & text a dark shade it is intended to be always readable. If there are any issues once the customisation is put up though please let us know __________________
