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).

[roamer_1]

..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

[Kamaji]

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!

Agreed. 

[libertybele]

...hmmm  I like the "cowboy" look instead of the desk pic --- maybe emblem where the brown is now?????

I know.  I know.  You can't please everyone.

I appreciate all that you do.

I hope it's coming back...with updates....

For a brief couple of minutes the new banner flashed before me.  I love it!!!

[Idiot]

Looking at the current banner....Reagan is gone and 2 suns?

[Luis Gonzalez]

Just fooling around.

[Wingnut]

[Bigun]

I intensely dislike what I see currently. FWIW.

The 2nd new brief-lived banner had a It's Morning In America Theme to it, but was visually unappealing - too much orange.

The photos of Reagan's 1986 visit to the Statue of Liberty Centennial have potential as a graphical base ... Reagan is young, vibrant, and surrounded by symbols of American patriotism.

Let’s see that banner.

So do I....

[mystery-ak]

 
This is an updated banner with a border and gold trimmings...

I like the saddle border too but it needs some work...

[libertybele]

What flashed on my screen briefly last night was a leatherish look with an overlay of stars and stripes in the background, Regan cowboy look on one side and an emblem on the other with studs along the border.  I believe the caption below the logo read a "political discussion forum".  I only saw a blip of it briefly but I thought it was pretty awesome.

Read up thread you are apparently the only one...

Well ....whatever is decided ... fine by me.  It's a banner and a lot of work is going into all of this and I appreciate that.

[Cyber Liberty]

I like it too, but I liked the leather one more....

Mystery and I are working on the banner.

Let’s hear all ideas, and trolling.

We will work on it some more.

Here’s another model.

For what it’s worth, my wife HATED the orange one.

I like it! Be mindful of the maximum dimensions.  I think it needs to be 930px by 180px.

[Polly Ticks]

I've been quietly reading, watching, and trying to stay out of it since taste is subjective and it probably should be Nancy's call since she is the forum owner .... but WOW, I love this one. 

[mystery-ak]

I think this is it..it's a winner!!

[Idiot]

Just wondering who that cowboy is……. I wish you could tell it’s Reagan.  I can’t tell using my phone.
