Question Banner Graphic?

[exoray]

Why the change in the long standing Star Wars 'Replica Prop Forum' banner? What was the point?

Prep for vB4. While we are working on a new unified light and dark theme for the software upgrade (since the old styles become obsolete and can't be ported) we are rebuilding the Star Wars theme for the upgrade (since so many love it and would riot if we didn't include it) and this was a part of that rebuild. Good eye.

So why rebuild and redo the graphic? I see no reason the old graphic can't simply be ported as is...

Porting the old was certainly an option, but given the old graphic's more pixelated look, it seemed a bit jarring against the newer layout.

Thanks to Exoray for the initial help and a big thanks to Chris Trevas for the new rebuild, we now have a quality rebuild of the graphic.

so why the relocated X-wing?

It is like LOST... went won't be able to tell you for 6 years... but feel free to speculate like mad.

Or you could ask the guy that made it

I may be able to find the original... It's been a while but I'll see if I can dig it up then no doctoring would have to be done at all. I made it at the size you see it but of course saved it to balance quality and file size for the time.

Well, I haven't yet found the exact final version but this is essentially the same graphic with a variation - Vader was slightly rotated in this one. I always wind up with a bunch of variations... I probably have a back-up of a back-up somewhere that has the true "final" version... I like the color of the original better though I think. That may be me just being obsessive (surprise, surprise) :$

This is a transparent png version.
