New Banner Image

[deb]

I really like the new banner. And I just want to say thank you for continuing to honor the man. He remains my favorite president (even though I never once voted for him).

..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.

I think BOTH are great! Ain't nothin says we can't cycle through them and a few more as they come along...

But then I'm weird that way... all my media machines and portables get a change of wallpaper with the seasons - Always the same mountain scenes Makes for some variation without varying all that much. That's me, being capricious.

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

Yup.  The rest of the color scheme can be easily modified by modifying the css style sheets.

See, it ain't like that out here. Brown or oxblood shitkickers work just as well as black ones. So long as they are clean and like new... That'd be fine.

Maybe that's why all the Western and Midwestern folks tend to like the new banner- Leather is still always in style.

I don't mind the brown, and I very much like the RR photo.

On my screen, though, the 'leather' texture of the banner stops after the photo of Reagan and it just becomes brass colored.  That pings my OCD a bit.

The actual width of the banner is different on everybody's computer screen, so that extra region of brown is necessary.  Some people reading this don't see that at all.  The old banner used mostly plain colors, so we just had to copy the red color on the far right of the Banner image!

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

FWIW:  this ⬇️ is the actual quote: 

"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)."

Not that you'll hear me because you have me on ignore, but that quote is too long to resolve in the limited space of the banner.

Yes I agree...I suggest trading places of RR and the emblem

I agree with the comments that RR should be on the left-hand side of the image, as the anchor, as it were.

Reagan's my favorite in my lifetime - and definitely the best in my lifetime.

And I never got to vote for him.  I got to vote for Bush I.

If you changed the shield to chrome/silver, maybe it could be used with different colors. - It seems some folks don't like the leather look 

[Smokin Joe]

I like the saddle leather look! Don't mess with it!

Ditto!
