New Site and Forum Banner Contest
Ironwatsas
The Banner we have is outdated. It was put there when we were still making v11 classic.

I think it's high time we retired it and got a new one.

So far I've made my own banner which is attached at the bottom of this post. However I don't feel it has enough oomph to it to replace the one we have. At least in it's current state.

If anyone with graphic art skills can improve on it or make a better one I'd be delighted.

Design wise, it should have the following.

  1. Spacey Background Stuff
  2. A PDS ship
  3. Some variant of the 56th TSOG logo (we are using this as our 'official' emblem from now on)
  4. Text saying "Point Defense Systems 2: Battle Management Remastered", which is our tagline.

I took the liberty to edit your original post here...

Thing is, we are looking at a mayor upgrade of the system managing this site so we need to look at that and how we want it to presnt the PDS concept, layout wise and colour wise.

I can not stress this enough, WE NEED GRAPHICAL SKILLS! I can adapt and recode the style sheets and alter the looks to a certain extent but I need some kind of template to start working with and I need someone to actually produce the graphical elements. If they are to be better than horizontal lines and squares in different colours, that is.. Pfft Images is a bitch.

I will post links to other sites with this shortly; http://www.9.php-fusion.net/ Vanilla.

We also need more text items published, both as "News" as "Blog" and other possible categories. The system comes with an inbuilt Wiki as well, with "wiki-like" functions, should that be relevant.

This is also the reason why I have made tiny or next to no efforts to improve on this sites layout.

Demo Site is acting up (it is after all a release candidate), will be back online shortly.

And it is, had to recompile the server to add a new function to PHP.
