Thanks, I just boshed something together quickly using whatever MS rubbish is on my work PC. Are we not going to have the spirit of simracing bit?
As I thought I already explained: - It should be a logo, not a banner; and
- the 'tagline' is added as text, and besides, that's SRou's tag line, not UKiRs...

Wink Right, neither of those things were apparent to me, or I wouldn't have been posting all mine with that form factor and strap line. If what you want is a small Logo only then I think you want something much more stylised, more along the lines of my original one but without the strap line. Like this:

I like the one currently in the header (the one by Lazlow, in case it's changed by the time you read this ). Now we just need the forum style to change to be red white and blue like the GPL forums, except not green.

OK, I'll go with the flow, but what we have now is just a truncated banner, not a Logo.

... to which I would say what we now have is the logo part of what was a logo incorporated into a banner.

OK, to me, Logos are more than just some text on a square background, and that is what we are left with imo. To my eye it really looks like it has been chopped short.

Only because - you know it was longer; and
- the forums stylesheet needs updating so that it fits with the general colour scheme.

What browser are you using? Looks okay in FireFox 3 and IE8 but the logos in the top left have always been done as background images in table cells (don't ask!) so if you've got a low screen resolution or a 'funny' browser it might well not show up quite right.

* you know it was longer; and * the forums stylesheet needs updating so that it fits with the general colour scheme. No, not really. I have to dabble in graphic design (I'm not a graphic designer though by any stretch of the imagination) and I have to discuss elements of visual designs and layouts we use with professional designers, so I've got used to certain principles of layout. What we have atm breaks a bunch of the rules, specifically it is far too symmetrical and square. When we had the strap line it provided a nice sense of asymmetrical balance as opposed to a very conventional and rather boring symmetry (big text right in the middle of a square). Isn't one of the Legends boys a designer? Be interesting to hear what a pro thinks.

As a Logo, I thought Wiltshire Tony's offering was pretty good.

I was looking at in a 1024x768 window using ie7 as we now have free'er access via a vitual desktop type thing at work.
I'm now confused, we have two seperate logos at opposite sides of the screen now. So what happened to the bit the middle? Actually like the full length one.

That was Paul Wright (PaulW). He's not been around for some time, he quit simracing I'm afraid due to health problems. It does look a bit oddon my 1920x1200 screen with the UKiR on one side and the iRacing logo on the other and a big space in the middle.

I think it looks really good. i was concerned before when it was a whole long banner being designed... but that looks spot on to me. Good job chaps.
