    Well, it doesn't. Loki could create different Layouts with different color schemes, so people can choose the one they prefer. You can change it down there, near "tags for this thread"

    I'm a little bothered by that too. This is what I had in mind at first>http://www.theapricity.com/forum/sho...?170154-Banner without the extended end, but the image may be a little too tall.

    To me the old banner carried a message - the rising sun over sleeping Europe, catching the moment before the whole European continent awakes. It was some kind of metaphor for me.

    The new one is a collage of pictures taken from medieval chronicles and ancient frescos. I am not able to see any message for TA or/and European community resulting from this. Although I appreciate the richness of colours.

    One idea that could incorporate the imagery you describe (which I am taken for as well) is for the circle pattern in the middle of the new banner to be replaced by some sort of symbolic sun, with everything shifted to the middle.. That way the dark blue dead area on the right is addressed

    Literally the only problem I can think of with introducing a symbol sun? Some bonehead Kurd nationalists from outside will mistake this for some sort of Euro-Kurdistani outpost (they apparently have a monopoly on all things sun related these days Lmao), which this place definitely ain't, LoL

    When in doubt, draw a swastika.

    You know the sun "sets" in the west, right? How does that work into your visual metaphor with the sun on the old banner placed West of Spain?
    Also, just to clarify, I did not dislike Methmatician's banner. This started off as a doodle for a trolling thread and got popular.

    I think the new banner is very beautiful and articulate, but I am not sure if it is appropriate for TA's theme. Maybe the talented artist could improve on the theme of th old banner?

    Maybe suggest a few things if you have ideas? This looks like a round table sort of discussion about it after all.

    Even if Skjad doesn't care to make amendments I'm still a fan. In fact, already printed it off, laminated it and given it a few rounds of OnceLord biological salutes to commemorate his achievement

    It makes me want to post sophisticated stuff instead of my usual BS.
