I had a few minutes lying around so I made this

The idea is simple. Just like EFU: A moves beyond its predecessor without forgetting those idiosyncrasies that made EfU what it was, this banner is new and fresh, reflecting a new mood and new times, but with a huge nod to the old days.
I hope others enjoy it!

Wow! I love it Kiaring.
fancy wow
A skin definitely needs to be developed around this banner. I just wish I could tell you when that would be. :(
Marry me.
Awesome.
Pretty good for a pentagenarian.
Yeah, that is sweet.
Hawt.
I dig.
It's excellent.
look cool!
Most men only ascribe this terminology to women, and occasionally cars. I think it's appropriate in this particular situation.
That, my friends, is dead sexy.
Neat.
lol
Needs more cowbell.
By the way, the banner's size is patterned after the current banner's (it's only wider, but that shouldn't be a problem since there's quite a bit of space left on the current layout. Furthermore, the outer border of the banner is a blue similar to the one on the gradient-colored header we have atm. In short, if you want to just swap the current banner for the new one (I'm not sure how easy that even is) it shouldn't look too bad.

Host it and give me a link. I will post it on another board I know of.
Or if you dont mind, I can snag it from here and host it myself.

It looks bad. Definitely needs it's own skin.

LIES! That looks absolutely beautiful!
Heh, just when Strife posted his screenshot I was making mine using the very same tool. To the point:

It matches the feel of the old skin, I think. Some colour changes and it would be awesome. If only it was compatible with the new forums ;(
I think it looks decent enough, but I can see what you mean about a different skin.
I'll try and see what I can do, though I promise nothing as my knowledge of these boards is pretty limited.

It'll go better with some dark greens. Nice job regardless, though.

Better for the current skin maybe?
I hate the Nwn font, honestly. Other then that, its good.
(Still have to admit I like our current banner better, though)
I think I prefer the first one. The new one's a bit too blue. With the forum skin a bit too blue all over too, well, I think some chromatic variety might be nice.
Everything they said above rolled together in one. Very nice indeed.
Yeah, I preferred the first one as well, but it's still better than the current banner (IMHO anyway).
Hrm I think I like the second one more!
Def. liked the first much more, myself.
Only way to really decide is a naked dance-off. Dan and I. It's ON.
Is there really any other way to make decisions? I mean, rock, paper, scissors is SO yesterday.

This is like respawning from PVP in a battle for forum-skin supremacy. :(
Holy cow. Whoever made the new forum look is a babe.

Wow K, that's some nice, nice stuff. Kudos to the talent.
Nice use of the grass/poison-type Pokemon (//%22http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Weepinbell_(Pok%C3%A9mon)%22), derflaro (//%22http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g161/draven_dffs/Funny%20Images/weird.jpg%22).
