I wanted to toss out a request for some alternatives to our current banner. While I really like the current banner and it was a team effort by the Charter Members to create, it would be cool to have other alternatives to rotate it and out.

The current banner is 930px wide and 200px tall. Any new banner should also be this exact size, as well. Any banner should include the site's motto; "Where Imagination Meets Innovation".

We could also have variations of the current banner for holidays and other special occasions. Currently, we have only one other variation for Christmas.

I'm attaching the xcf file for the current banner for anyone who would like to create a variation. Here is a the original thread where the banner was initially created.

Please see this post for a complete explanation of how to create a banner that will integrate seamlessly into Gimp Chat

Thanks in advanced to anyone who would like to participate!

That's an excellent idea. They do that in Fractal Forums. The members post their banners into a "gallery" and the site automatically picks one in random order on each page load.

Yes, a few new banners to rotate is what I had in mind, Erisian. They could be variations on the current theme or something new altogether. I'm certainly open to any and all suggestions.

I love the current banner so much, I would never be able to come up with something better. Still, it would be interesting to see others at least in a gallery.

It will be fun to tackle. It seems like most of us are always waiting for a chance to take on new projects. I've always found it neat, yes, the term is outdated, that every time someone posts a graphic or photo everybody will jump on it and come with new ideas and ways to do it.
There was another forum I occasionally dropped by, all they were interested in game avatars, and nothing else. gimpusers seems to be hard to navigate and the people seem to be unfriendly. I know this is off topic but I wanted to say it somewhere.
