I was worried that what ever it was going to be, I was going to like it but still have to voice against using it.

The image should be 700 pixels wide by 100 pixels high and use a transparent background such that the existing red graphic becomes the background.

All offers considered. Let's see what you've got, graphics folks.
DONE. I think it embodies the true spirit of the board. SCORCHY, feel free to re-size it if needed. You're all welcome. No more whining.

As a general rule, I'm not a big fan of change either, but thanks for all your hard work, Scorcho.

The Eagle & theme? Well, my WV granddad used to say, "If you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all," so mum is the word. :|

Hey, the eagle can go away as soon as someone makes a new banner. You don't want me to do it.

The theme...again, still waiting on someone to find something better. phpBB v.3.0.5 compatible, please.

I like the eagle. Fan sites aren't really allowed to use the real stuff so you have to find goofy imitations. He's certainly goofy enough. It's not like any of us are cool and need a cool logo.

UPGRADED- the eagle has fangs for a more terrifying presence.

also, the muscular forearm with authentic logo tatoo goes a long way to instilling fear into our enemies, though I did have a bit of trouble with the talons.

I couldn't remember if eagles have ears or not so they were omitted.

The website name is in blue for a more "in your face" look.

I considered putting a ring of fire around his head but didn't want to over-do it.

how dare you. It's clearly a vicious eagle. Probably carnivorous. Like a raptor or something.

my vote goes towards the vicious, carnivorous, raptor-like eagle.

any chance of the mobile site coming back? I mean, I can use this fine, but the lack of graphics and what not was just easier on a slower connection.
