New banner for the site

[xhunterko]

Hello everyone!

Every now and then when I'm browsing search options or looking at the begginning of a thread, I am partially distracted by some random guy's head popping up (i have been told once that it's bruce lee)

I don't know about you, but when trying to disect someones pixel art for the first time, I find this rather annoying. I particularly find it somewhat distracting when trying to write a post such as this especially when I'm lost in thought trying to write a cirt.

I am more in favor of a still image or something of a different, or maybe a more colorful palette. Or the yus bird could be the new mascot of pixelation. Since he's doing a good job of holding the donate here banner.

So, I pose this question to you. Should the admins have someone do a new banner for the site? Or leave it as it has always been?

Personally, I think it needs changed. What's your opinion?

I think its fine as-is, what bothers me is the flashing white news box images. Its never bothered me, and I thought it was neat that it pops up every now and then.

The flashing, however, makes me

Bruce Lee has been in the banner for like 8 or 9 years now I think. He should stay.

added the "no" option.  the poll seemed biased

but as Gil said, bruce is part of our culture here.  If it bothers you really really bad you can just block images hosted from pix.

It doesn't bug me at all, I voted no.

What does need attention is the current forum icon set.

@indigo: My bad. I didn't mean to make it seem like that. I thought the what's wrong with it covered that. Oh well. Carry on.

I voted no. I like Bruce Lee.

But the mixed resolution in the logo is a little puzzling.

Are you trying to void the relevance of the Pixelation T-Shirt I made a while back?  Nu! (I'll have to take a picture of it now when I get home)

[Mathias]

Wait, when did vote for the yus bird get thrown up there? I think of that yus bird thing, which I never understood, as more or less an inside joke between a certain german and a certain greek. Why would it be featured in the site masthead?

This site's skin just needs to be left alone. Everybody go home, there's nothing to see here.

Allrighty, poll closed then.

@Mathias: I thought just someone's odd creation. Especially since he's doing a good job on the donate button, why not get rid of the pop up thing and use him instead. Now that you say it I think I remember seeing something like that somewhere. Although it's been in the poll since I first put it up.

@argyle: What t-shirt?
