Renaming and/or reorganising our forums: Is this our way forward?

Precisely. The whole disillusioned approach just sounds unappealing and it's one of the aspects of this site that I find at its weakest. It just makes this place sound like a stick in the mud.

Yep. And no offence to Lazenby, but that proposed logo looks like it's either an artfully-shaped line of coke, or graffiti. Ugh.

My first go at a banner.

I like it, though I dunno how it will do with everyone else. And the peeping Batman is amusing.

It reviews the College of Arms' seal of approval.

My attempt.

I like that a lot.

I like it Sharky :)

Thanks for the compliments, y'all. :)

It was a labour of love more than anything. I tried my best to reflect the slightly unhinged nature of this forum.

Nicely done, Sharky.

Another graduate of the Balje-CASINORYOYALE College of Fine Arts I see.

I like it too, Sharky ... 'Our Man' is still front and centre, but other discussion topics are nicely hinted at.

Don't know about that one.

Yes, LS, that's not half bad at all. Great to see James Bond centre stage, as he always as he always should be, of course!

To much Craig and his era, makes it look like MI6 DC love fest. :roll:

I tried for real this time. It's a work in progress.



I had no real idea who to include in it, so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know. I just tried to pull from some of our bigger threads. (I had Obama in there at one point before I realized it was pretty corny.)

EDIT: Posted is my final version. I think.

Oh FFS.

There's only one pic of Craig there - hardly a "love fest." I thought it was important to feature an image from the most recent Bond film, even with the "number one place to discuss Skyfall" tagline gone. It was also conscious decision to have that screencap be from the final scene in M's office, because it suggests both the past and the future, and most importantly a hopeful outlook.

I'd be happy with either Jack Wade's or Sharky's. I really like having Christina Hendricks in the banner...

Anyone like Angie Dickinson's eyes?

I would've approved lifting Jay Seven's ban just to see his reaction to it.

Final version, I believe:

I don't see a whole lot wrong with the banner we have currently - Bond is foremost and Beyond is well...a bit beyond.

It's boring and we are actively trying to market ourselves as a lot more than just Bond.

Also, the baby blue is way too similar to what MI6Community have got.





We need to separate ourselves from the herd.

Agreed. Warmer colors is the way to go.

It was a good banner for a while (it's been two years or something I think) but this place could do with a more colourful layout.

Agreed. Color is good.
