I see all of these other fine designs, but just arriving home after Christmas, I have all of my tools back. Here is my entry.

Can 'Forum' be lifted away from the red border?

I like this one a lot. A LOT. The text under "The Beach Boys" is a little difficult to read. I think maybe it's the background color causing it. Maybe a slightly larger version would work better? I really like the idea of multiple album covers.

Not sure about the sizing but it's a rough idea... Could you try this with the current Beach Boys logo? Like this ? Still not sure of the sizing needed tho' so this is all still guesswork...

Personally, I prefer the 6 album covers on each side that you used with your second design. Or, move Wild Honey and Sunflower each one place to the left and All Summer Long two places to the right (so that Wild Honey replaces All Summer Long, Sunflower replaces Wild Honey, and All Summer Long replaces Sunflower's current space.) Agree with Jiggy that Endless Harmony Forum should overwrite the bottom of the "y" in The Beach Boys logo. Also, the white font, font size, and/or the font itself used for "Endless Harmony Forum" is a little hard to read when using a smaller device like a phone.

Malc, could you also add another Brother logo on the left side. Some damn fine work from you, Vale and petsite. Thank you very much!

Demands, demands, demands !! LOL... Happy to oblige with all suggestions so will work it over the next day or so. Anticipating a couple of busy days at work this weekend... The design does utilise more sleeves but it depends on what medium you are are viewing it on I think, mobile or PC, as to how many you see... Oh, and the font used for the forum is Broadway, the same as used for Surfs Up - hence the choice - but I shall play around with it...

Is it just me that doesn't see the new header on the Mobile version but just on the Desktop version?

Nah, I don’t see it on the iPhone screen either Mikie, other than in this message thread of course! In that context I agree that the main text doesn’t stand out too well against that blue background but reckon it’d do okay if the BBs logo was a brighter shade of yellow. A big plus for me is to see a BBs logo/title/masthead/banner that isn’t in Cooper Black (the “Dads’ Army font”!). Great work.

Well, it's better than a whiter shade of pale, John. And.......who did you mean to address there, Cam or myself? Ya lost me.......

I think it would look better with different album covers on either side of the logo. On my screen, looks like you could fit 9 album covers on each side.
That would be 18 different covers. Put 20/20 back on, and add more of the sixties covers.

Very nice work done with the EH board header and thank you! I really like the Beach Boys' logo on there. I agree with Will that maybe we could post all different album covers instead of repeating them. And, only because I'm OCD and the Brother logo/Indian on the horse isn't symmetrical, I would eliminate it. I don't expect that to be a popular opinion, though.

What about if we put the Capitol logo on the left? So we have both... just an idea.

OK, here's the current two variations on a theme, taking into consideration... i) Folks wishes to have more sleeves featured, including SMiLE - I'll leave it to the Mods to edit to the size needed but I have expanded the width to allow for a PC presentation (sorry if your favourite is not shown but, hey, I could have put SIP in there !)... ii) I've replaced the font style for the ENDLESS HARMONY FORUM with two alternates, as people were saying it was not clear enough (even tho' this was the Surf's Up 'Broadway' front used...) iii) I've balanced out the logo by placing two images, one either either side as suggested... Happy to still jiggle things around between the two suggestions... but we're never ALL going to agree 100% ! Admin - I may have to send you a hi-res jPeg if it's not quite clear enough, depending on which one is finally chosen !
