Bnglized bimmer in banner??? - United Bimmer Community

**EnvyM3** · 04-18-2005, 09:23 PM

So many people bitch about the styling of chris bangle and we have a banglized bimmer on the banner of this site. I think it should be changed. Just my opinion.

My personal opinion is the banner is awesome, and the car aint to bad either

Maybe that came across wrong. I like the car in the banner, but with so many people complainin about bangle, im surprised at that choice....nevermind, im makin no sense

that is all

i'll work on a banner for us to have up before the weekend. i sware even though im a photoshop newb i can make decent text / blends. it'll be cool. =)

of course if any of the pros want to do it, feel free. =P

E90 has already been crowned 'the most wanted car for 05/06 in the USA'... Bangle or not it's a impressive machine and nothing to joke around with.

With that said, if you think you can do better, we are open to suggestions etc.

What wlse could you stick there.... What about a line of bimmers, from the 2002 to the e90? Maybe them all driving on a road? Personally, i kinda like the banner, however, on my campus, the schools site has a rotating front page, where whenever you reload the page, it cycles through another image, perhaps that could be incorporated:

New Jersey Institute of Technology

Just an idea...

just so long as you guys dont incorporate the roundel or the lets bmw or ultimate driving machine in it anywhere we will be okay

I think a pic of either M3 CSl or 95 M3 LTW would sum it up nicely...

**komodo** · 04-19-2005, 12:36 AM

Hum, very true. I made that header late at night in like 20 minutes. I invite anyone to do a nicer one (one that fits all the way to the right on 1024x768, which I assume most people have at least).

Submit a nicer one and it'll be changed. lol

**spiff** · 04-19-2005, 12:45 AM

Im going to work on one. what size do you want it to be though?

1024x100 res?

witeshark · 04-19-2005, 12:50 AM

I say there's no hurry. It looks good and the Bangle deal is a part of the Bimmer history after all

Not sure the exact dimensions... not that wide. View the forum on a 1024 resolution and you'll see there's about 3/4th of an inch of gray on the right side of the banner before it hits the white background of the inside content block. I'm thinking something that fits all the way to the white. Make sense?

**Torque** · 04-19-2005, 12:55 AM

Width is about 830.

**spiff** · 04-19-2005, 01:21 AM

im thinking 700 x 95 is good.

If you cut it short, you'll get what I have now... a gray block on the right side of it.

Maybe fade to that gray....

**spiff** · 04-19-2005, 02:03 AM

I am working on one right now. i dont know if you remember, but delmarco posted a thread witha pic of all the 3's in an evolution type state or whatever..

im taking all the kidney's and making them into a banner/timeline type thing, and it should be tight, but will take some time, ill work on it more through out the week, because i want it to be awesome.

**Torque** · 04-19-2005, 10:20 AM

I whipped up 2 quick ones:

**spiff** · 04-19-2005, 12:21 PM

emir those look sick. definetly look good.
i really wanna finish mine...

i just got Photoshop 8 CS..its tight.

**komodo** · 04-19-2005, 02:46 PM

I'm really like the yellow one torque made, but I'm questioning if it'd fit into the colors of the site? lol, we want to eventually redo everything, but for now lets just get a new header up there.
