For use on the mainpage. I feel putting up a banner at the top might be the best way to make people aware of the forums on the mainpage. This can be set to be visible only to unregistered users so shouldn't be intrusive.
Unfortunately I'm not very good in any paint apps at this kind of thing, so if there are any wiz kids, a banner 'advertising' the forums and with a bit of text informing people that there's lots of movies and junk available would be perfect (size about the same size as the logo at the top if perfect)
Thx for reading, if you can help out I'd be greatly appreciative.

Afraid I can't help, I have trouble drawing a matchstick man. I do think it is a good idea tho, ATM the link to the forums is just a small entry in a list of others.
On second thoughts, I could scan my arse and you could use that, but it is a bit bigger than the usual logo size, but on the up side it is scary as hell.

If no-one else offers any help, i've got a mate who's excellent at this kind of thing. He's in Thailand until May, but am sure he would help if there are no takers in the meantime.

Speaking of which, I wonder when my new mcDonald's logo will come out

I'm not too bothered actually, when it comes to that. Just the best it can possibly be. It will be displayed only to non-registered users at the top of the current introduction text.

@d0c, do you still have the original of the current logo. Could you perhaps crop it to the size like in my sig, and then add the word forums over the house. I think that would be perfect.
I could do it but I don't have decent fonts and it seems to loose a bit of quality whenever I save it then (goes a bit blurry)
What was it made in btw?

this might be because you've got some kind of color correction setting enabled.

I must say I really love the picture Decypher has in the sig:
I think the present picture isn't very clear, I mean there's just too many things in it and it becomes a mess. Besides Dec's picture is very good for the board specifically, as it show how well we all get along (hand in hand, I'd say).

Thanks Polityk! Since I made it for using in my sig, I resized the original picture from 623x268 to 316x100. It may not be suitable for banner (current banner has 4:1 width-height ratio) due to its ratio. Anyway, here is a quickie. I may change it with your suggestions :

Great stuff, that would be perfect.
Could you do me a huge favour. As it is for advertising the boards, I think that the best thing would to be replace the hhah tag line with something like "Forums" and a link to http://forum.dead-donkey.com .
Would that be possible. It would be very eye catching because it's on a white background, whereas the rest of the theme is black and grey. Size is fine

This is looking just the ticket so far. Good work there Decypher. I do feel it would be good to point out the existence of more ed2k links in the forums though.
HORROR HAS A FORUM (top line).
HORROR DISCUSSION AND MORE ED2K LINKS HERE (bottom line, clickable "HERE").
Just a suggestion. Feel free to discard it.

How about this tag line: "Forums - where the more horror awaits for you"
Due to the picture size, using a long tag line will result a smaller font and it'd be harder to read I guess. But I'm sure we'll do something good this way.

Looks just perfect.
I'm going to put it in my signature on FH as a clickable link to the board.

May sound stupid, but how could I make a pic clickable? Not really up to spec on all this shit and I wanna use my sig pic as a clickable link.
