I like it for the same reason Chris does, and I love cars, but it could be more posterish for the site I guess..  And I'm not sure about the Salt and Pepper pots in the word "All"...

It's like the APF version of a Rorschach test.  8)

Looks better, it still feels weird to me since there are no other graphics on the forum what-so-ever. Good work though! :)

Hey Chop, Im looking into the SMF tech workings and layout of the board here. And that will be done when it's figured out.   ;)

I am still not sold on the font......it should be period matched to that vehicle and not off the dust jacket of a Twilight book. 

I am not sure the make or model, but that looks like a mid to late 30s ride to me or at least its meant to look that way based on the lights and vertical grille.  Looks like it might be a Packard or Olds.  Maybe one of the car buffs can figure it out.  Anyway, based on that, maybe an art deco font?

Thanks.  You know what you did.

the font should at least match or closely resemble the APF font on the "Hollywood sign"
the moon & clouds should also be removed to clean up the image and get rid of the eye irritant. It's a redundant object to the image.

The original banner is the best one, IMO.

I like that the title is no longer running into the clouds.  I think I would try out some different font and colors on the title and see what looks best...

As I said to Jeff, I can help with this stuff if you like.
I know SimpleMachines Forums - your best bet is to change the theme to one that is more social media friendly in order to move with the times. There are plenty of free ones available. Let me know if interested.
Best wishes,
Adam

that is actually incorrect when there is further data on the right side.
align left, more stuff on right. Or you can align left & get another image - say of posters much like MPF has - and post that right side.
if there will only be one banner and no additional data, that should be centered, yes.

About 7 years ago, I wrote to about a dozen websites asking them to center their websites (Bank of America, Ebay, etc). Years later they finally did. Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Also, the blue tinge to the photo is unsightly. Moonlight is white as are the letters on the Hollywood sign. Please make the image a little more accurate by changing to white vs turquoise. Oh yeah, and Center the banner on the top of the website.

Chop does not know what he is talking about.  Moonlight is white, but due to the Purkinje effect, it appears bluish to the human eye. 

Also, like my four year old, he repeats requests over and over again apparently with the expectation that asking repeatedly will increase the chance that someone will fulfill a request or cause them to fulfill it faster.  While completely normal for a young child, it is a very bizarre behavior for an adult; as most of us have learned through experience that it is not a reliable way to achieve the desired affect.
