Title: New Banner


Element - April 2, 2006 06:01 AM (GMT)
If you missed it, we have a new banner up as the 2006 season is here. Baseball is finally here, along with the banner. It features young pitchers and proven sluggers, one of each from the AL and NL. On the NL side, we have Zach Duke, and Albert Pujols, and on the AL side we have King Felix and David Ortiz.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't put that we are invisionfree's best baseball board.

Awesome Banner. Looks really good. You did a great job again. :D

AuntJemima - April 2, 2006 06:04 AM (GMT)
I thought Ken Griffey won the poll and Ortiz? i thought there was a no Yankee-Red sox ban

Element - April 2, 2006 06:06 AM (GMT)
It was called player suggestions, THU. We made the final decision in the admin room.

vivjeter - April 2, 2006 06:07 AM (GMT)

I see how it is

anyway im glad Griffey didn't get put up, you put to much effect on the pics

RedRuffing15 - April 2, 2006 06:10 AM (GMT)
This will be sumthing only I get, but Albert Pujols looks like the a postwar war card based on a card series to off,mind of the war, ironic huh


lol, n e ways, looks nice....well taking in everyaspect, 97% of it does....you know the 3% though..so no problems

bosoxdiehard - April 2, 2006 06:14 AM (GMT)
Looks pretty good, overall nice job.

AuntJemima - April 2, 2006 06:16 AM (GMT)
Meh i could see room for improvement

Less effect
Griffey on the banner
It looks a little plain(the player's pics)
Why is there 3 MLB logos?

Actually the poll was about even, so we figured that since Griffey is old we'd go with Ortiz.

TheHugeUnit - April 2, 2006 06:20 AM (GMT)
that pic of pujols is scaring me

Count # of people that suggested Griffey. 3 max.

That is why I put him on BW banner, so I woudn't have to ruin DHB's players.

Griffey is better than all four of those players on that banner

Well good job with the banner.


BUT not to have atleast one Yankee there is kinda disapointing especially since the there are a lot of active Yankee fans here. Ortiz?


Anyway, good job on the banner, but not so great on the player choices apart from Pujols.

Duke was a good choice even though he is getting hammered in ST with a 7.00 ERA but he'll coem back and bring it down to 1.81 again

RedRuffing15 - April 2, 2006 06:28 AM (GMT)
I'm just still surprised

Yeah, he is a good player, but how many people know him just by his picture?

sfgkml - April 2, 2006 06:40 AM (GMT)
Nice banner, I've been waiting for it to change.

TheHugeUnit - April 2, 2006 01:15 PM (GMT)
ok April Fools is over where is the real banner?

mpic92 - April 2, 2006 02:59 PM (GMT)
Nice job... it looks great overall except maybe Pujols but the other three and overall banner look awesome.

Santana - April 2, 2006 03:24 PM (GMT)
why ortiz? the pic doesnt look great anyways...but you should of had some other AL top slugger.

Crushed Optimism - April 2, 2006 04:26 PM (GMT)
Nice banner. Especially the Felix part. :P

diehardbrewgirl - April 2, 2006 04:29 PM (GMT)
Love the new banner, looks great! :D

Tribe No 1 Fan - April 2, 2006 05:02 PM (GMT)
Hmmm...I would have liked to see something a little different. <_<

twisted - April 2, 2006 05:09 PM (GMT)

**bows before gfx god**awsome job ele **bows before gfx god**

Cubluva101 - April 2, 2006 05:23 PM (GMT)
it looks blurry

MrYankee - April 2, 2006 05:31 PM (GMT)
Banner looks great guys *beer*

but wheres A-Rod? :unsure:

giddyupzil - April 2, 2006 05:47 PM (GMT)
You did a great job Element, the only thing I would suggest for it is that the effect you used on Pujols makes him look like an action figure and less like a baseball player, it kind of bugs me. But hey, I don't care, it's one of your best products, great work man.

Santana - April 2, 2006 05:57 PM (GMT)
PRAISE GAUSSIAN BLUR!!! but ele, can you post the old one here, so i can save it to my comp, please.

soxfan#1 - April 2, 2006 06:07 PM (GMT)
Might want to change the text color.

hankaaron44 - April 2, 2006 06:15 PM (GMT)
I don't dislike it but at the same time, I don't like that much either. I don't mind the effect of the text " Die Hard Baseball " but picture selections coild've been better.

YankeeFan - April 2, 2006 06:21 PM (GMT)
im making a different banner for the website layout is that ok?

Element - April 2, 2006 06:22 PM (GMT)
Yeah.

YankeeFan - April 2, 2006 06:25 PM (GMT)
cool :D

YankeeFan - April 2, 2006 06:27 PM (GMT)
pretty nice on the banner, i dont like zach duke on it, he's so unproven.

I would have put halladay, konerko, bonds, and pedro... all going to be big stories this year even if you dont like one (cough cough) or more of them.

then again ive only done one banner in my life for a site:

user posted image

good job element, i know how picking the players and placing em is tough!

I agree, and I know you all are saying they're old, but it's not like this is our banner for the next 10 years, we will probably make a new banner next spring, so why don't we do people who have proven themselves, just for this season...
