Ok i vote we keep the one that is up now, its perfect!

Im not into the cat banner at all, the banner is good but the cat?. What do cats have to do with arboriculture.

I dont think there is any point in critisism unless its constructive. Say what you would do or how you would change it to improve it, or even better make a banner yourself if you dont have anything positive to say Iorek

I like the present one. lightning and all.

Me three.

And since I made the buttons out of bits of blue and lightening I like them too! Certainly better than some drab out the box button.

Krowdon · 4th February 2007, 11:23 PM

Me Four... of course I'm a bit biased...

Eric Frei · 4th February 2007, 11:39 PM

Krowdon, you reckon you can do any better than me with the little blurb on the bottom?

Maybe some sort of inspirational expression somehow .... a comet streak, or perhaps make it look like the thunder from the lightening etc??? Heck, I dunno, but if ya wanted a tree looked at I'd know about that kind of stuff.

Without the cat

Does that work for you?

Krowdon · 5th February 2007, 10:35 PM

OR, for something completely different... well not completely... still blue.. lol

Eric Frei · 5th February 2007, 10:36 PM

Look up the top, refresh ya page of course.

Is that the airport type of look? I like it.

Eric Frei · 5th February 2007, 10:39 PM

Nah, the other one sux! Lots of us cut healthy trees for good reasons like .... money! lol

That effect is called "motion trail"... Pretty neat looking, I'd say.

Munkee feet · 6th February 2007, 01:53 AM

I feel it sux when people are so judgemental on a banner.. the truth is not whats on the cover, but whats in the book. I feel that the pages of this book are wonderful and thats all that matters. For those that know all the whores in La and Europe...go to there fourms and suggest a pompas a$$ banner. Just my two cents worth. Munkee feet

They would be wonderful if y'all change that banner.

TreeCo · 6th February 2007, 05:03 AM

Looks good!

I can see by your black and white photo that you are a man of taste.

Iorek · 6th February 2007, 05:15 AM

I'm outta here dudes, that banner is searing my eyeballs and giving me a migraine.

Iorek · 6th February 2007, 07:45 AM

Ok, I have decided that it is ok for y'all to keep your bloody banner.

Eric Frei · 6th February 2007, 09:36 AM

Thanks.

But it doesn't mean you cannot suggest others however pouting and running away isn't a solution is it?

put that into the banner!!!

mdvaden · 11th February 2007, 05:26 AM

So that's what this thread is...

The lightning did look a little severe, didn't it.

This should be fun.

Shorter may be better. Looks like 800 pixels would be good.

Only 750?

I like the brighter ones better than the darker ones.

If there is the URL, should it be without a slash / at the end for a cleaner look?

I'm not too adept with transparent, but instead of a solid square image, what do you think of a composite image with transparency around the text and smaller image shapes?

Eric Frei · 2nd March 2007, 08:16 PM

I think you can make one up and show us what you mean. lol

I have a confession to make .... I paid Krowdon the $100 as we have been using it long enough and nobody has really complained.

But now they might

Rotax Robert · 3rd March 2007, 02:01 AM

For what its worth, I like the banner we have now.

Rotax

mdvaden · 7th March 2007, 05:08 PM

I don't like the electricity part. Maybe its because lightning is often associated with tree damage and forest fires.

Some blue sky would be nice. How about something with a blue sky, and have it fade off at the edges into a blue background (changing the page background too)

Mike Poor · 8th March 2007, 03:47 PM

Nice banner. Is that Eucalyptus citradora (lemon gum euc.) (sorry I always have to ask the species ha, ha!)

And the one your thinking of mike is now also known by the genus Corymbia instead of Eucalyptus. Being Corymbia citriodora or Lemon Scented Gum.

Sean Freeman · 8th March 2007, 08:09 PM

Ok I'm only posting this for clarity, and really don't want to enter into the dispute over which genus should be used.

I really have no axe to grind and use both in reports (syn).

Explaining why the genus Corymbia came about http://www.anbg.gov.au/projects/eucalypts/corymbia.html

And the Australian National Herbarium position http://www.anbg.gov.au/projects/euca...roduction.html

Have a bit of a hunt around the site there's lots of interesting short papers and great links in there.http://www.anbg.gov.au/cpbr/index.html
