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 ! I like the first one, Malc. The second one looks kinda 'busy'. The first one would look good with the current BB logo and "Endless Harmony Forum" instead of "The Endless Harmony Forum". Again, "The Endless Harmony Forum" looks a little busy with all that text. No matter what, the inclusion of the two singles on each side of the logo looks to be too much. Just my humble opinion thereof.

I prefer the first - the record labels make the whole thing too busy. Prefer clean and simple.

The current logo and text looks good with the last ones (with more album covers).

Those that want the Brother logo, have it. The later Beach Boys logo, check. Fits in the Capitol swirl, too. Lots of great album covers fills up all the space. I hope this one wins the vote!

I'm with Will on this, EHb5 is my favorite. Nice work, Malc.

My vote is for the top one, EHF4, but I would eliminate the Brother logos. I think it's a little...busy...with them.

I prefer the top version, but the "Endless Harmony" font of the bottom one.
But both are just superb !

I prefer the first one, maybe the EHF is too bold but I like it! Great header!

The bottom font that bleeds into the albums ties it all together, but the brother logo is superior to the 45,s. Also, not sure if the blue backdrop in center with the yellow logo was intentional or not but those colors are opposite on the standard color wheel meaning they compliment each other. Please keep those colors! A proven winner in advertising. The blue overall on the site is the perfect choice as well. I want this place to succeed.👍 The best I've seen over the years on these forums.

Malc - I kept looking and looking at the blue-green background, in the center, with the singles placed on it, wondering what it was - knowing it would not be there without thematic significance, and spread it out on the big iPad - it is Surf's Up! Right in front of me.

I think I prefer the Appeal to the Great Spirit version too, but they're both great. I appreciate all the hard work involved.

I think I prefer the Appeal to the Great Spirit. I'm with you, Ed. The one with the two "Appeal To The Great Spirit" logos and the more condensed "Endless Harmony Forum" title. Perfect!!

I feel Dirk and our merry band of mods should bestow a special profile title on Malc for this sterling effort(s).

I think we missed a trick by not asking RangeRover A1 to do the header...

Fabulous looking header. Thank you, Malc! I'll echo that. I said it in the Shoutbox but not here. Kudos, Malc. I love the way TBB threads through the o of Harmony! I'm still looking for the bit of the back cover of Surf's Up you used as a backdrop.

I made a new Icon for our forum. As you will see, it does not show up very well. So, if anyone wants to create a "favicon icon" for our forum, please offer it up here. I know you all have great imaginations and are very artistic. So, here are the parameters:
1. It must be square.
2. Icon can only be 64KB in size. So, while what you submit here can be larger, whatever you submit must be clear as a very small icon.
Thanks!
