If there are any photographers on the forum with swanky equipment, mayhaps they'll donate some pretty pictures to the forum so the graphic designers here have some good unencumbered raw materials to work with.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I just wanted the logo with the red Papyrus font to get replaced with something, even if temporary, for the time being :).

Is that the picture of Gu Li from an old copy of Weiqi Tiandi?

(Either way, I like it.)

Yes it is! :D

Oooh, I like this one of Gresil's. I also really like the idea of changing the logo often, once we have several options to choose from. So... rock on.

You should be able to modify the phpbb template to acommodate any reasonable image size. I'd really like to see gresil's tried out, for instance.

Gresil's latest looks really cool, and I like the idea of showing the gridlines on a board to reflect the title of the site.

Those are looking nice Gresil. I'd vote for one of those to get put up. Would help keep us out of any copyright issues, even though I do really like Araban's.

I'm a big fan of the new logo, but I think it would be even better if it wasn't just a blob in the middle of the header, but rather extended across the entire top. We could continue just the grid or even add more stones. Either way it'll give it a more solid and consistent look than just a brown image on a light-blue background, no?

How hard would that be, Gresil?

Yeah, the dimensions are hardcoded in at the moment, but if we had a wider image, it would be pretty trivial to modify the template.
