Should the current bocpages logos be replaced?

Yes, it's long overdue!

Yes it looks good now. http://bocpages.org/wiki/bocpages:Skins#Patryk_Ludamage

I only like picture #3 and #5 though. But these are not your own pictures, right? Or are they?

Because I will not use pictures in the banner without consent of the proper owner to avoid possible legal issues. (and yes, I've got permission to use the boc artwork in the current main banner)

Yay! Thanx!!! :)

That's right - only two pictures in much posts early was mine (With the sun and houses)

I know that only pictures from original BoC albums is used like a banner, but it's not important for me - some of my chosen banners on Bocpages.org with others BoC fans'es works and i am very proud of it!!! :D

I think you misunderstood me.

It does not have to be boc artwork to become an official banner for bocpages, but the pictures you use should be pictures you made yourself with your own photo camera.

The pictures you've used, are they YOUR pictures? Or did you download them from the internet?

From the net of course, because they are much suitable for banner.

If you want you can delete them and i will try to use my own but i don't think that it'll be cool :(

Don't be so negative about yourself. Just try using something you've created and post it here. It might be cool and original! And you don't need an expensive camera. You just need creativity! ;-)

Placed the new logo in there. Also played around with a different layout using a photo I took years ago.

The reasoning behind the colors and style is that it reminds me of the 70's, and that is something that I see in some of Boc's artworks. It also has a warmth to it, which I get from listening to these guys.

Any suggestions? Brighter colors? Different image? Are the stripes working? Less?

Cheers guys.

I'd got rid of the 'three fingers' which are overlapping your horizontal stripes. They break the design. The colors are great, the stripes too.

Post some variations perhaps. Keep it up!

5 from me. Thought I'd keep em clean and simple. If nothing else, it should stop anyone else feeling embarrassed about posting theirs! :D

Oh and yes, 3 of them are shameless attempts to get my photo on BOCpages.

@Mexicola: The bottom one is missing the logo and isn't the right size you know. The 3rd one is great.

@ray: That are some awesome banners. Great variation on the logo. A shame you didn't sign in a few weeks ago.
