When I zoom out to 75% and all the banner shows it looks good, badge one end and gates the other, just cant read the text then. If we can get the banner reduced it will be fine.
 
like i said it will look fine for you, but not for us lol it looks fine for us now, but not for you.
 
I don't like criticising other people's efforts regarding this 'banner' but the simple fact is that I don't think it looks that good...However, with me being about as much use as a Mag on Question Time with computers, who am I to talk...

... this is like that noodie emperor story - "but the simple fact is that I don't think it looks that good" - well said that man, somebody please work on it
 
I have an idea why don't we make the banner fit for the tiny minority, who have their resolution set so high.<devil>

<sorry>

Just tried adjusting my settings to 1440 x 900 text too small to read, the banner just say fits SUNDERLAND in.
I always have my settings at 1024 x 768.
Never have any problems with web pages and I can still read the text. <ok>

As someone else mentioned is this not a % thing in the coding?
Surely it's better to have the full banner showing for the majority?
The minority viewing in hi res will still see it, just a smaller image and not across the full screen.

I have PMed Mick with a link to this new resized banner with the camera zoomed out, hopefully it will cure the problem. <ok>
 
I am getting bored of doing this now lol so this is it, if you dont like it dont use it, I did enjoy doing it, but after 20-30 of the things (and disliking all) I really need to do something else (anything else) before i go mad.

Its 1920*200 on a transparent background (so it should suit any theme) The main bits are in the Middle to suit those on smaller res, but there are badges on the outside to suit those on higher res.

Real Scale Version

Just noticed its not quite aligned, I may edit it if it gets good feedback, if it doesnt i wont bother, but it is pretty simple to align it better, i just cant be bothered to do it right now. (+ I am decorating so a bit busy as well).
 
Even the mags have been having a laugh at 'underlan', even my wife said it looks ***** -even more embarrassing when their banner looks 10 times better. Sorry Black Cat, your efforts are hugely appreciated ...however ...

I cannot believe that there isn't someone on here who knows a designer who could fix this once and for all and I do believe that %'s are the usual method for coding something like this.
 
tell the mags to get bigger monitors then, its fine for me if a little too deep (but accross its fine).

honestly though have a background or just a pic taken from the net (like every other board, even i can do that and will take me 2 minutes) and it will never look right, well it will but you will still miss a lot).

My problem is with doing like those have

A: Its not original
B: its too easy
C: It looks crap
D: I cant find a wallpaper of Sunderland players celebrating without Jones or bloody Bent on it (and even those are rare), and i really dont think a logo with either of those 2 on would be appreciated, I dont mind SKP/Monty etc but those are all standard def and look like crap.
E: If one player leaves of the group and isnt a legend like bent (not saying bent is a legend, just saying if they leave like bent did, not a legend even though he said he wanted to be), then it has to be redone all the time, which is why the one we have got is probably ideal, its just too big and maybe Sunderland could be changed to SAFC to keep the size nice (like i have done).

Honestly i hate the way the toon one, man u one, arsenal ones are done, but each to their own i suppose (but its not a banner it just a picture.)

So if someone can find me a huge Hi-Def wallpaper/Image of sunderland players that we still have, celebrating, I will have another go, even though i hate them lol

something like this but without the bardo blazoned all over the thing http://www.safc.com/javaImages/ff/6f/0,,10281~9334783,00.jpg but even that has got 2 loan players in, who might not be here in a few weeks, so again probably pointless tbh.

there you go its not perfect, the pic was too small to start with, but its the best i can do at 8am without any sleep (and its got Bent in) and it actually looks a lot better that size than the real size.
 
What about a panoramic view of the SoL at the beginning of the N#wcastle game when the whole ground was red and white? I'm sure that somewhere there is the right resolution
 
My Wife is going to bed now so just a very quick one from me

Syd, I reckon your first thought is how I see it as well. It's TOO big, I see "..NDERLA..", the cat which was menacing in the original is at best indistinct and the water has turned to a slightly mottled background. It loses the "impact" that was there!! needs to sized down mate.


looks great to me with my 24 ins screen
