Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

I was thinking of having the faces one at the bottom, as a footer.

You guys don't like the wedding?? You mean, you don't like that entire episode or you just don't like the fact that John and Mary got married?

I don't think we can exclude her; she really is a main character now. The only reason Moriarty is a ghost is BECAUSE HE IS DEAD.

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

Agree. Mary is, and has always been, part of the story. Can't exclude her any more than Molly or Mrs Hudson!

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

I would love to have the faces in the footer just the way they have been designed. Moriarty as a ghost is a good idea. 
As for the wedding pic - for me it just is not representative of what the series is about. I love the episode. I would have preferred e.g. the pic of the three of them in front of the chapel but it might get too small.

That's what I meant with "the other wedding pic", but maybe I should have been more clear.
But in the end I don't really care all that much. I don't like Mary, I admit it, but whether or not she's in the banner... oh well...

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

I could try to do something with the John/Mary/Sherlock wedding picture, but I don't think that'll work very well, because the picture frame is portrait format, and that picture, I think, is landscape format. In order to have all three faces in the frame, they'd get very small.

And just so we're on the same page, is it this one you mean? http://www.radiotimes.com/namedimage/Sherlock_season_3__New_photos_from_John_and_Mary_s_wedding_album.jpg?quality=85&mode=crop&width=620&height=374&404=tv&url=/uploads/images/original/44203.jpg

I'm not strongly attached to the John/Mary picture, I can use something else, preferably something in portrait format that's fairly close-up on the faces. Suggestions?

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

Yes, that one would be a good choice. But as I said, no idea if it works in a small size.

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

Those are wonderful!   And agree about everyone's comments on 9… the variety, composition, inclusion of different things… I just couldn't help loving the 'big shot' of everyone, so voted for that instead.

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

Here's another version with the "other" wedding pic, plus a new frame because there was room for another one when I exchanged the wedding pic: http://i59.tinypic.com/1622ufk.jpg

The faces are a bit tiny, aren't they? Other suggestions always welcome.

I like that. And I can live with the size of the wedding photo.

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

Actually, I might exchange that new lower frame again (just the picture frame). The lighting is weird. Are people okay with the Vertue/Moffat/Gatiss pic? Or would you rather see another behind the scenes or cast pic?

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

What a great idea adding that pic with Moftiss and Sue Vertue!
The faces aren't big but recognisable. And won't the whole banner be a bit bigger when fixed on top of the forum?
This time we can also use the full width....

It depends on how big your screen resolution is. I have a 24" screen here, so the banner in the post displays at 100% its size for me because my browser window is wide enough. But if you use a smaller screen, the forum might be resizing the image when you look at it within my post.

To answer your question: Yes, when added as the forum header, it will be 100% image size (which is approx. 1,020 x 235 pixels).

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

Yeah, I think it will look bigger when it's on the screen, and I really like the Moffat/Gatiss/Vertue pic, it's so cute. I love those guys.

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

I like everything.  My only thought yesterday was that I didn't care for the wedding picture with John and Mary - but with all three in it now, I'm fine with it.  And I like the Moftiss picture and I especially like that we still have the picture of the great London Meet-Up of 2013.  Run with it!

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

I like the Moftiss/Vertue photo and the wedding photo (with or without Sherlock).  But I wonder--might it be possible to put the wedding photo under the Moftiss/Vertue photo?  The way it is now, it looks a little unbalanced--like it's top-heavy--and like there's too much empty space on the bottom of the banner in that area.  I'd like to see what it looks like if those two pics are flipped.  But if I'm the only one thinking that way and it's a bother to change it--Never mind!    It's all good!

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

I Like!! 
The pictures are great, the frames make for a cosy livingroom atmosphere, the silhouette and the board meeting are still there, my favourite scene is included, Sherlock gives puppy eyes..^^ .. what´s not to love?

Yes, sure it's possible. Let's compare both versions:







I'll be working on the forum footer with the cast photo next.

Yes, definitely works better with the wedding photo above.
Fab banner, Teejay! The photo frames seem to pop out from that wallpaper.

Re: New Banner Design: Voting Time!

Thanks! Here's a first idea for a new footer.
