So what happened to the bit the middle? Actually like the full length one.
It wasn't in the middle... it was on the left. It was just longer. It wasn't full length either - it just happened to be most of the width of the average screen. On a lower or higher resolution it would've looked daft. Once the style has been adjusted to blend it in to the header, it'll look better as just a logo regardless of resolution. I like the first one of Lazlow's new designs too. I'm just slightly concerned that the very bold red and blue will be hard to blend into a forum style that isn't hard on the old peepers...

I'd love to take the credit ..but they're not mine..they're Oily's. Could you maybe do a tint of the red and blue, so that it isn't as strong?

Cheers chaps, glad you approve, I think it could probably be adapted fairly easily to do some consistent looking variations for the other sims if you want me to have a go?
Anyway yep no probs making whatever tweaks you like so just shout. I'd be tempted to stick with the official iR colours though ya know - I think it will work ok but the rest of the forum style sheet just needs to compliment it.
I suspect you could get a nice clean look if the backgrounds throughout were predominantly white and the navigation panels etc in shades of grey - in a similar way to the official iRacing forum. They use the strong colours very sparingly, so just blue for the text of selected headings and the vast majority of text stays in black. Very little red, just literally used for accents.
There's probably no substitute for just playing around with it until it looks somewhere close to what you're after.

Am I too late? Fonts are just for this mock-up, so can be changed

Consistency isn't really a requirement when the purpose is to give each league its own identity.

Consistency isn't really a requirement when the purpose is to give each league its own identity. Both are quite possible - you simply keep a consistent theme For example, one approach would be to keep the "UK" part of the font, and the layout/ positioning of the left side and vary the right half to create an individual identity. You could incorporate different colours, even the game's logo, in fact the majority would change but each would still be instantly recognisable as being a part of the SROU family of leagues.

Very odd. The iRacing logo is now centred for me too. Definitely wasn't like that yesterday
