    I am serious now, it would look great. We can start from scratch when making it, and can design it to the right specs without any hassle.

    I think this picture is superb. It makes a clear statement without personalising in any way.

    (I do not agree with the idea of a banner of portraits).

    I like the top two from Masanari but also the avatar idea as well.

    I think it's not bad if you think about it, if ever any of us leave, we can be cemented in F1 forumship for ever, to remember the times we shared.
    We know who the regulars are, it will be different from the same ol' F1 car pic, not slaying Masanaris' picture which is fantastic.

    Mods will probably put a poll up after some more suggestions. ;)

    The avatar notion is noble but don't you think it might appear élitist to non-members? I'm not sure it would be good for the forum. It might make it look more like a member's 'club'.

    If a banner is to have wide appeal, it should strive to be impersonal. That's why I like     Masanari's silhouette photo.

    Good point of view, I am not forcing the idea, it will probably go to a poll anyway.

    The corner one is great because it doesn't choose any one driver, team or person, it's just a corner, which symbolises the one thing that makes racing what it is: The Track.

    Plus the issue with the avatar idea is that people change their avatars.

    What Kyle says. I've been planning to change my avatar for years now, but i'm just too lazy! And the one that reminds me of ElBando is the moose or whatever, but he doesnt have that one on!

    The champions one didn't look too good on the site. The bottom one looks by far the best in my opinion.
