Board (Re)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.

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 Rora 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, Chelle, and Rora

wow...it's that time again

it's crazy with all the Characters coming and leaving

Jax and Martin and Wally West left ...and Zari, Constantine and Ava came on board....
I'd also love to see Captain Cold/ Leonard Snart left on the banner...but that might confuse newcomers.

Tia and Melissa are great at finding pics....they are also the sole two who have been here since the beginning of this board too.... so I trust their judgement .

This show seems to be able to change up their characters quite a bit

There's nothing to say you can't keep departed characters in the graphic, we could make them smaller. But the more characters you have in the graphic the smaller everyone will be

I'm not sure if the show has good promotional pictures, we may need to use episode stills . I've seen this group shot but its not the best quality & it doesn't have everyone. Presuming that you want them in costume there's some episode stills of them here & here


I presume these are the must have characters:
Sara Lance/White Canary (poster)
Ray Palmer/Atom (poster)
Mick Rory/Heat Wave (poster)
Nathaniel Heywood/Steel (picture)
Amaya Jiwe/Vixen* (poster)
Zari Tomaz (HQ picture)

*from what I've read Maisie Richardson-Sellers's character is changing from Amaya Jiwe/Vixen to a Charlie so not sure what you want to do for her? If you want to keep her as Vixen or have her out of costume instead?

I'm not sure how usable it is but I also saw this poster of Waverider. Not sure if anyone would want that to be included if possible?

The must have characters for me are:

Sara Lance
Mick Rory
Ray Palmer
Amaya Jiwe
Leonard Snart
Rip Hunter
Zari
Firestorm
(probably it can be a picture of Jax with the fire on his head to represent them since they were series regulars for 3 seasons.)
A Gideon bobble head floating around the back of the group. Since Gideon has been in all the episodes.
The Waverider somewhere in the back as well. lol




Actually I'd have Leonard Snart even more than Zari. I think his importance to the show was a bit more and we've still have had him in every season thus far whether it was series regular or recurring.




Also Dave, don't think Captain Cold being there would really confused new viewers art all since he always pops back up. lol


I love Wally West but I would definitely not add him.
John Constantine, flip a coin for him! he was in some episodes last season and will be a series regular next season so I am cool with him in it or not.

Don't care if Ava is on it but she'll be a series regular next season and she had a huge role last season so her being on it would work as well.

Do you have a picture of Gideon for that to be included? ETA: I really don't think that it would work, but maybe. This is Gideon isn't it?


Pictures for the others on your list:
Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (Poster)
Rip Hunter (Poster)
Firestorm (Poster + Martin)

Constantine & Ava would bring you up to 10 character in the graphic (11 with Gideon) so they'd be quite small if you want to include them as well

^ Haha. lol Yeah. I just love Gideon which is why I said an effects version of a Gideon head. Might be difficult though. lololol



I'll look for other pictures in a bit.

Don't think Constantine and Ava are most adds though...
I think you can choose between them or Firestorm and probably everyone can vote on who they'd prefer on the banner.

Firestorm OR Constantine & Ava.

Also, I'd totally keep Amaya over Charlie... we just don't know Charlie much but luckily it's the same actress so it works.

Would you want Amaya or Vixen? Amaya may be able to work/pass as both her & Charlie while Vixen is clearly Vixen (presuming Charlie doesn't become Vixen)

^ Either would work for me and I completely agree with you on that assessment on making Amaya pass off as either.

Here goes photos I have thus far.


Leonard Snart [1] [2] [3] [4]
Mick Rory [1] [2] [3]
Rip Hunter [1]
Cast [1]



Yeah this show needs more and better promotional photos.

Gideon Head [1]

CW should get their act together & do a photoshoot for the whole Arrowverse I think

Its possibly easier to find pictures of Amaya than Vixen too

Have you had any thoughts on colours?

yes the board is. Since the graphic no longer represents the show we've decided to redo this board sooner

Do you have any thoughts on characters who should be included &/or colours you'd like to see here?

Waving the Constantine-flag here

There are a couple of pictures from his own show
1 2 3 4

here's also another cast picture 1
maybe this could be useful too 2

and the Waverider 1

for Zari maybe this could work 1
though this probably wouldn'T match wtih the others
here she'd be at least in costume 2

as for the colours.. I really like them.. think they represent the showvery well and woul dgo with something similar

I think must haves are

The last remaining orignals
Sara
Ray
Mick
Gideon if you are able to fit her in.

The new team
Zari
Nate
Amaya (probably in regular clothes so she could be Charlie as well.)
I'd add Constantine since he's joining the team.

I don't think we need Ava since she's Time Bureau and not on the Legends team.

It's time since the current banner is already outdated.
