Ideas For A New Banner!

[newdawnfades]

Shaggy and I have been talking about putting together a new banner and we've decided to solicit some ideas from you folks here since you'll be the one's having to look at it every time you log in.

So here's what we need:

1. What 5-6 band, album, rock images do you think should be included? Please post the actual image on your post. We are looking for images that are definitive of classic rock as a whole, so no requests for Dokken or Poison pictures please.

2. What kind of catchy slogan would you include in the banner if there was one?

3. Are there any cool ideas that you can think of that should be included in the banner? For example, how YOU would design it, how the layout should look, what color scheme you would use, or any other considerations you think we should be accounting for when we arrive at a banner, .

4. If you want to take a crack at it, design your own logo and send it via PM to me. If we get a few submissions we might be able to put it to a vote, or we could have our members here review it.

So we need feedback. Let us know what you want so we can get started on a brand new DEFINITIVE CRF banner.

Red and black or blue for color scheme. Red and black is a great combination. I frequent a site with that combo and it really looks great.

I'll work on the albums/images as time permits. I've got a few ideas but I'll have to go look for them.

Slogans? Well, how about "Welcome to the Dark Side...?" Sorry, I couldn't help it. I'll work on a slogan too.

I will try my hand at designing one, I am pretty good with graphics. Do you want it to say "Classic Rock Forums" or "ClassicRockForums.com"? What are the size limitations?

Here is some of my GFX work so you can judge whether I am going to turn out something good or not:

Don't know what kind of size you're looking for but maybe a time machine collage of some kind with small pics from the classic rock era would be cool....

1. Pot Leaves, Mushrooms
2. Vans/Hippies/VW's
3. LP's , 8-tracks
4. Vietnam pics
5. Peace Sign/Tie Dye colors.
6. Incense
7. Black Lights
8. Typical Hendrix, Zepplin, Joplin. CSN&Y, whatever pics.
9. President pics of the classic rock era.
10.Goofy H.S. pics from that era.
11.Whatever I'm leaving out pics...
12. "Classic Rock, the time when Musicans used to experiment with drugs
instead of people on drugs experimenting with Music".

and I'm not a designer so I'm sort of clueless as to putting this together....

Damn...I didn't mean to kill the thread.

ClassicRockForums.com would more appropriate. As far as size, we don't want it to take up too much of the screen, approximately what we have now would be fine (935 x 100), maybe a little thicker if need be.

Good work btw. You've designed some nice graphics.

Dittio, sounds good to me. Lets see what you can come up with?

I was thinking about doing a GIF with it flashing pictures of some of the greats (Zeppelin, Stones, Hendrix, Beatles and Black Sabbath). All the while "ClassicRockForums.com" would be in the background, kind of dimmed out. It will be tricky though, it will either come out nicely or crappy.

EDIT: Well, I made a banner, I am not sure how I feel about it. It wasn't something I am use to (I rarely work with photos and I pretty much only do abstract). I am going to post it just incase you guys like it.
