New Banner Image

[Kamaji]

Trying on some new banner images.

Let us know what you think about this one:

[Cyber Liberty]

I like this one!

[Bigun]

I like this one!

Ditto!

[Timber Rattler]

Love it!

[Wingnut]

I am ambivalent.

[Kamaji]

I am ambivalent.

How so?  Not being facetious; just want some ideas of where it might be improved.

[mountaineer]

RR with an iPad always was a nice touch, but there's nothing wrong with changing things up a bit.

[Canuck Conservative]

Too many earth tones?

How about making the background a red-blue gradient? Get the colors of the flag in there.

[roamer_1]

I like this one!

Me too, of course. Reagan's cowboy thing is too often overlooked. 

[roamer_1]

I am ambivalent.

No, that's drunk. It's different. 

[roamer_1]

It needs for nothing. it's grrrreat!
[insert Tony the Tiger image here]

[Texas Yellow Rose]

It's very good.  However, ... I prefer the original.

[Right_in_Virginia]

How about ....

° positioning Reagan's photo a little further right (maybe a little bigger, too)?

° adding a Reagan quote centered below "The Briefing Room"?  This one comes to mind ---

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.  We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.  It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, (or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free).
                                                                                                             --- Ronald W. Reagan
                                                                                                                 President of the United States
                                                                                                                 1981 - 1989

I like the idea of a quote but that one maybe too long...there are so many to choose from like these

"Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem."

"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives."

"In the real world, peace through strength must be our motto."

“Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.”

and my fav...“I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.”
― Ronald Reagan

Either of those would work for me!

[Sighlass]

Grabbed my attention right off the bat... Like it, reminds me of a good leather belt with a grand buckle... Just needs a good gun in the holster.

[MeganC]

I like it! 

[Hoodat]

I like the photo and the shield.  But I don't like the font.  Especially the way the 'f' rubs against the 'i'.  I'm partial to sans serif fonts.

[Kamaji]

Agreed.  That can be remedied.

[Bigun]

I'm a Times New Roman guy myself but I'm OK with the current font.

[Canuck Conservative]

Especially the way the 'f' rubs against the 'i'.

@Kamaji

Easily fixed ... Ligatures - the combination of two letters in fine typesetting ...



(the ligature characters are there somewhere in the "extra character" set for this font, along with the accent characters)

[DefiantMassRINO]

I am not a fan of the brown.  I know brown suits were big during the Reagan years, but it's a color that does not stimulate and engage the mind.

I'd like to see more Red, White, and Blue; celebration of American Exceptionalism; and the optimism of A New Dawn in America.

There are some nice images of Reagan from the July 3rd - 5th, 1986, celebration of the Statue of Liberty Centennial.  That was a big celebration, back in the day.

I couldn't care less about fonts, unless it's hideous.  I've had traumatic experiences with fonts.

That's just my humble opinion.  There's no pleasing everybody. 

[Hoodat]

I am not a fan of the brown.

You must be a Fedex guy.

[libertybele]

If keeping the 'brown' theme, IMHO the whole banner needs to be equally centered and maybe swapping the picture of Reagan where the emblem is and the emblem where the picture is.  I also like the idea of inserting one of Reagan's quotes.

[Wingnut]

UPS: "We Run the Tightest Ship in the Shipping Business." 

That ship has a lot of holes in it.

Yeah me too..it needs something

[libertybele]

I really like this quote:

"Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem."

[Cyber Liberty]

I really like this quote:

"Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem."

America is the shining city on the hill.

Indeed.  The entire image is just a mockup, so some of the nicer details were overlooked for now.

Equally centered won’t always work on different viewports, like smartphones.

[berdie]

A small black or dark brown border would look nice.

[MeganC]

Looks like cowhide to me.

[Wingnut]

America is the shining city on the hill.

Nah. Too Bushist.

[Smokin Joe]

Looks like cowhide to me.

My thought, too. Saddle leather...

I like it.

[andy58-in-nh]

I think it does need a quote. How about this?:

[DCPatriot]

With the "Powder Blue" dominating the homepage, the earth tones are out-of-place...like wearing brown shoes with a tuxedo.

Well you have a point..I thought the same thing when I first saw it...maybe add some blue as a border?

[Bigun]

When late night TV was still fun to watch!

[libertybele]

I love it!!!!!   

[bigheadfred]

Not a fan of the brown.
 
The old banner should be posted with the new so we can get a better feel for the difference.

Maybe red, white and blue striped border??

[libertybele]

..hmm.... in comparison to the old banner, I love the new picture of Reagan -- so keep the brown and maybe put a thin bright red border around it, including a quote.

   Final answer.
