New forum banner?

Can we have a new banner for the forum? @AnimalToyForum and @bmathison1972? The current one has been used for over a year: https://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?topic=3302.0

Sure! It's been on my to-do list for a while. Was waiting for Safari's announcements, but that's been a while now. Maybe I'll tackle it this weekend. If someone else wants a stab, I can send them template and instructions.

I just realized but what is the blue morph butterfly in the banner?

It was supposed to be a 2023 Bullyland release, but I don't think it was ever produced.

EDIT: BTW I am off work all next week so I should have time to put together a rough draft banner.

That seems to be a recurring issue with them

Rip. Been looking for a good blue morph that fits with scale with my other butterfly.

Regardless I highly suggest that the CollectA 2024 Elk be included in the banner. It's my #1 figure of that year.

Also side note, is there a archive of all the old banners?

I thought there was but I cannot find it now. @AnimalToyForum - do you know?

I don't even have a lot of the older ones I made due to computer replacements.

@EpicRaptorMan - here is a thread that has 2012-2020

https://animaltoyforum.com/index.php?topic=2579.msg23091#msg23091

I think I started doing them in 2017 (?)

For banners since 2020, you can find threads for them in this board:

How are things going with the new banner?

I submitted it to Adam today. When he gets to it? I don't know.

I look forward to seeing it!

The new banner is refreshing! The guineafowl in the banner is missing part of its face though!

Ah, I think the capuchin is layered over it; @AnimalToyForum - can you change the levels of the layers for the capuchin and guinea fowl? If it cuts off the fingers of the capuchin, it can probably be inched a little closer to the horse?

Ah, well spotted. I just fixed it. The change might take a while to appear as the old image may be cached on the server or in your browsers.

I can't see anything to the right of the jellyfish, but I like what I see!

On a phone the banner is truncated in vertical.

If you rotate it, you can see the whole thing

I have my phone set not to rotate/jump around when I move the screen, and I much prefer it that way. I see so many other people deal with that annoyance.

Same. I just turned it on to see the banner

AnimalToyForum · December 10, 2024, 11:56:24 AM

It's designed to be truncated on small screens. Normally, we slice the left-most animal in half as well so the banner looks truncated on both sides, but I didn't do that this time because it's a bother trying to align the two halves so they repeat fluidly on large screens.
