Well, for better or worse, Trek is probably the second most popular topic of discussion here, so it ignore to as part of our identity would be a bit disingenuous.
I know, but for about four or five members - same for MAD MEN. What attracts the biggest range? Less of a niche interest?

You might be right with Mad Men but I think Christina Hendricks is a decent reflection of BAB. A rather classic sense of beauty, at least comparatively speaking to most modern women, and big tits.
I've got a less of a problem with Hendricks than Spock. :bounce: :bounce:

I also went with Spock to reflect one of our "cultural" topics -- something that transcends just TV or just film. What else do we talk about here that could be a reflection of that?
I'm willing to ditch Lana but I think having more than one chick in our banner might make us seem at least a fraction of a percentage more appealing to potential new members of the opposite sex. I guess I could put some dicks in there.

Women with big tits draw in men, not other women. Ask Fae.

And from yours truly:
Objectively I'd say yours would be better fit with the current background/colour scheme. Mine would need a dark blue-green.

Anyone want a go at designing a new wallpaper? We could use one of those as well.

Why, is it peeling at the edges? You must stop boiling those potatoes in the BaB kitchen.

Not bad, but won't Daniel be covered up by the body of the forum?

Why does he have to be seen? Our current Dalton silhouette ain't.
Besides, the important bits are the colours and texture. That's what we see at the sides.

Some feedback:
Like the red strip, but not the "skidmark brown" (to quote Ambler). Try yellow, orange or something warmer.

That's a f*cking awful banner. Looks like a dodgy milk carton.
That said, I guess it's just a place holder.
PS - No more gray/desaturation. This isn't the Bismarck.

Current colours (or lack of rather) are making feel a bit ill.

Yeah, a black/neutral background is good, but it needs contrast from colours in the foreground.

Getting closer now, though maybe a bit more yellow?
Also, colourise the grey strip.
