magisme Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I get what you're saying, HV. I don't have an answer. And I don't have the skills to create anything myself. Just what I thought when I saw the proposed banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Just an idea we decided to run by you, we've been looking at designs for a forum shirt and one design we all really liked was the one posted here.It was submitted by Sabbath on behalf of someone he asked to come up with a design.We thought it might be a good idea to pitch it as part of a possible new banner design, in terms of a central focal point (with the mygnrforum logo off to the side).If anyone would like to use the design in a banner creation, feel free to have a go at it.It would be a nice tie in to have that in a banner and also use it for the shirt design.Here it is... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 That's really nice, but...1. It isn't a banner2. People might complain if it's too "Axl-centric". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Axl is the only constant. Maybe so, but he isn't by any stretch the only reason GNR was successful. He should definitely be front and center, but he should not be the only person on the banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Ohhhhh it's a shirt. Yeah pretty cool in that case. I'd wear it if I was a hooray for tolerance! who wore shirts about websites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdeyahlxp Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Here's a cool AFD/UYI one I made. I made a darker one, like the current one and a light version. Any feedback on my AFD/UYI banner or is it that atrocious and does nobody like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't suggested that it was a banner. As stated in the comment, it was offered as an image to include in a banner.2. It was offered as a starting point to create a banner, no one suggested it be the only image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sturginho Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I guess I'm not gonna like the banner. Oh well. Not a big deal. The one with the albums covers looks pretty good too. Tough choice for me.I like the look of the one with the highlighted current lineup; I just don't like it conceptually. I don't like the idea of having iconic members faded while current members who haven't written a note of music for GNR are highlighted. I also don't like the different lineups intermingled like that. To me, each lineup is it's own band entirely. Slash and Izzy were not part of the same band that Buckethead and Finck were part of and that BBF and Ashba are now part of, regardless of what Axl has ruined his career trying to prove.But like I said, not a big deal.would it not be possible to have the banner animated so it highlights different lineups every so often (with axl being there in all of them)?

Patience 4 Axl Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I really do appreciate the talent people have to do these sort of things. I wouldn't even know where to begin to try something like that. But my unbiased feedback so far, none of them have really grabbed my attention yet.

That's pretty disrespectful and ungrateful at the same time and I am calling it the bullshit that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any feedback on my AFD/UYI banner or is it that atrocious and does nobody like it?I LOVE it but it doesn't have any current members on it so we cant use it.I also feel that the transitions are a bit harsh and I would switch the positions of the full band and the Garden of Eden picture, so that the full band is more in the center.
