New Look for Ad Astra

[SLWalker]

All right!  I am playing with possible new looks for our home here.  So, what I want from you, my beloved and intrepid Ad Astra denizens, is feedback!  These are not the final copies of background and color themes, they're just quick works I've done and will likely build upon.  But since some people like warm colors, and some like cool colors; some like elaborate and some like minimalistic, I figured I would bring it over here for some feedback.  And, of course, whatever new theme we add, we will leave the current theme available to those who don't want to change it up.

So, feel free to give me constructive criticism on any or all of them.  And then, I want you to pick two of them you'd like to see further refined.  And then, dears, I shall refine them and put those two up for a final vote; whoever wins the vote, wins the forum.  Mind, only one of them has the text.  Feel free to ignore said text in favor of the artwork.

And here are your candidates:  Orange Haze, Variation on a Green, Orange Ribbon, and Cool Swirl.  Looking forward to seeing what you say!

I quite like the look of the orange haze and orange ribbon.

Some reason I was expecting to see the Mutara Nebula.

Orange Haze is my favorite as well!  ;D

I like Orange Haze, too. The greenie looks a lil like a space eel, if there is such a thing (quick, somebody write one!).

closest is either the Ceti Alpha eel or that thing that mated with the Enterprise-D

I like ribbon over haze.

I like Orange Haze. It's the least threatening.

Orange haze and Variation on green. And my preference is variation on green.

[Robert Scorpio]

I liked the Orange Haze best.

Orange Haze or Orange Ribbon.

Oh, exciting! I'm voting orange haze and the orange ribbon (which looks red to me).

[SLWalker]

It is more red than orange, but I named the file and then didn't want to rename it.  I'll leave the debate open for another half day or so, but so far, it looks like the two I'll be refining are orange haze and ribbon.

Anyone else?

[Guest Guest]

Orange haze is good, but the green variation is way better than the orange (which looks red) ribbon. Orange and green!

[SLWalker]

Looks more orange now with refinement.  I'm actually kind of ridiculously proud of this one.   Renaming it Fire for obvious reasons.

[Mackenzie Calhoun]

Yes, like the look of it. Has a nexus effect to it. Swayed to that with leanings on the haze.

[SLWalker]

I'll see what I can do with the haze, too.  For any that don't get used, anyone may feel free to take 'em and use 'em for any personal art projects with my blessings.

Oh, I like! Nice work Steff. You're "on fire"  ;D
