In search for a good site header (hello graphicians!)

[KrazyKatz]

What's about the including Modplugs classic expression "Its the music, stupid!" instead of "Discover the music inside" ?

[Rxn]

Too offensive.

Guys, the headers here are really bad, you could tell that there are no
graphics enthusiasts here.

Actually I am an enthusiast, just way too out of practice and taking care of income issues right now.

We could try sending scouts to Gimp user forums, explain the situation and
ask for some advice.

BTW, I personally think the main MPT drill machine logo is fairly dated as
well, we probably need to figure this out too. Also, red color appears to be
somewhat screaming into the face, it does not characterise the community
(which is fairly laid back) the least

Well, I've also got an artist from my demo group working on another header, let's see what he comes up with. I don't think that the tone of red that I use on the site is very "screaming". Of course bright red is screaming, but this is far from bright.

I found your blog-like layout fairly interesting, do I get it right, that any
member of the community will be able to make posts and others would be
able to comment?

That seems like an interesting evolution of the forum.

The site can only be edited by the project contributors, but everyone can post comments.

On the other hand, why not have a few randomly loading headers created
by the community members?

[Saga Musix]

That would imply that there are enough good ones. So far, I only like Snu's efforts. And as said, I have another banner in the works by a member of my demo group. If there are enough good ones, this could probably be done, but we'll have to see how many we can get first.

Here's another try :



This one may be a bit closer to the original logo colors :

Your wave is clipped very badly.

I also made a very simple logo / icon for the fun :

icon 400*400

The original vector file.

[Saga Musix]

Dunno, but that looks more like a logo for a player to me, and not a tracker.

The svg file can be opened in Inkscape, a freeware vector graphics editing
tool, fairly simple to use and yet quite powerful, definitely a must have.
