We would like some input from the artsy fartsy members of the board to provide us with artwork for the header that is already made to order with proper dimensions to completely fit the space. Then we could have a little vote on the board for Endless Harmony header artwork submissions or just a yes/no consensus on the best one. Maybe we can select one for now and have a couple more on the backburner ready to go and switch them off periodically.
Please send us your EH artwork for consideration! Thanks!
- Mike

Hi, this is my first draft... "vale 1.0"
I thought "why don't we use the first version of the Endless Harmony release"? It's fun, it's orange and it reminds of sunshine and summer!
I isolated the logo and reworked it in a very quick way, as a first draft I guess it could give the idea. In the next days I think I could fix better details. For better background I suggest to play with css in order to make it responsive. Then an appropriate theme based on variations of orange would fit ok with this header.
And here is the isolated part of the logo without the "soundtrack" text.
I hope you like it!

Thanks, Malcolm. The header up there now looks nice and colorful but can't be stretched to the borders without it looking goofy.

Thanks, Malcolm. The header up there now looks nice and colorful but can't be stretched to the borders without it looking goofy. What about using both screen shots of the logo, from Vale, on either side, and crop some of the stripes, leaving only the center? Or, re-sized, and above and below? I like the header a lot. Orange crate art theme?  |

Not sure about the sizing but it's a rough idea... |

I know some fans are not enamored with The Beach Boys' logo, but I always liked it, and it might give the forum a kind of "official" appearance. Here are some samples if Endless Harmony Forum could be added to it/them:

Sheriff, I'm thinking that the text in the header should denote "Endless Harmony Forum" somewhere. I do like the BB logo at the top of your post, though, but maybe without the yellow "Now & Then" yellow strip. Of course I can be easily overruled!

Not sure about the sizing but it's a rough idea... Malc, this one looks real good. Obviously a good amount of time and effort went into it. You're the expert with Beach Boys album covers and their history, and this one gets my vote for the best header so far. |

or on a similar theme - keeping the initial design...  |

or on a similar theme - keeping the initial design... That one's real good too, especially if you can get the entire Surfin' Safari album cover to stand out a little more. Right now half of it looks a little shadowy. Otherwise, I like this one even better!
Malc, are you gonna put this link in your EH profile?

No matter what, Hi-res is where it's at! I sure like the one that's up there now.

I loaded up both Malc's & Vale's pic's but both are too large and they left aligning and won't center.

Hey I like yours headers. I’m far away from home right now for a family vacation and I can’t provide my modified header. It’s better to know the exact size, though.
If the boards can support it, maybe we can have different themes with all these headers so anyone can select their favorite.

Not sure about the sizing but it's a rough idea... Could you try this with the current Beach Boys logo? |
