I think Mothman can begin on the banner if he wants (or if we need to find somebody else, that's fine), but it would be awesome if we could have it up by Thursday's game. I could do it myself as well (I made my signature, for reference) but I also know I'm not the best and I would be using Gimp to make it.

For consideration: Smith/Patterson got second place, and a lot of people wanted current players, too. Maybe do both (one on each side)? It's all up to you, man!

A combination sounds cool. Maybe even a Vikings timeline featuring players from multiple eras in chronological order?

This, obviously, has been forgotten by quite a few people.

As beautiful as the stock image at the top is, we really probably should get something Vikings related up there.

Using the image specifications from the old AD image that glg shared, I mocked this up tonight:

And put together, it would look something like this, depending on your resolution:

I'm not going to point out the flaws, but I'm aware of a few issues with it. I also didn't go with the HOF members because, honestly, I didn't feel like doing that much work. I'm not going to be upset at all if my banners aren't chosen, but I thought this would be the best way to breathe life into this thread and hopefully get the ball rolling (seriously, we NEED some new banners by free agency).

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it and think they look great.

Edited my post, I just saw that you actually already set up the images to the right size, fixing.

Also, if you're taking requests, could you match the black background to the actual color of the site? It's slightly off black.

According to color picker it's actually #272727 and not #000000 like the main banner at the top.

When I uploaded your images the sizing was all weird. I cut up your larger image to make what's up there.

I just want to say that it was really nice to open the site and see some of our guys up there. Looks good, thanks for doing the work guys.

I like the banners a lot. If they could be cleaned up a little to fit the upper screens that would be perfect.

But that is nitpicking. Congrats and good work DKSweets!
