I see people's faces reflected in the balloons. However, I can not make out their features. I was hoping I could see your avatar in more detail, reflected there. Anyways, Happy New Year!

@Anonymoose actually, what you see are the reflections of the other balloons

Happy new year.

I'm open to themeing recommendations and new artwork. http://homebrewforums.net

I want to keep the page graphically light and bright. I like appropriate use of transparency/alpha channel. I would really like a responsive theme that adjusts div widths to use realestate well across various browsers... i have thousands of viewers and some have 600x800 dpi monitors up to 2400 dpi.

let me know what, if anything you would like to try your hands at.

@hbf Thank you ! I love that forum, I love good beer too !!

That is a very clean design , the logo could be improved I think, unless it is a keeper, what is the minimum with you would be willing to go with ? By making the content float:left then make the width 100% then the page can be made smaller without covering it.

hbf

i'm open to ideas. i actually just unveiled the new logo today, so i like change, but i'm also quite attracted to the new logo.

i think the content panels current size is the minimum it should be. it can grow from there to fill space. if you do a float left it might be harder to keep the layout in balance, but i'll leave that to you to use your creativity.

Ok give me a couple days to play with it

Thats sweet

@vrijvlinder I was looking for header/logo for my new design that I have showcased before.

Being a Google forum, I was looking for colorful yet elegant design. The current logo should give you some idea.

Only if you get time, can you please make one for me ?

@aery

I made this prototype see if it is something you might like. i kind of like the letter coz it looks like there is a T in it for tricks..

aery

Looks good. Thanks. I will try to work on same prototype.

Here is what it would look like...

@vrijvlinder 4sqbadge.com could really use your touch. I can write code better than most, but my UI skills are very lacking.

@GaryFunk : Ah I am flattered !

I worked up a small fix for what you have now, it should improve it some... if you want more bells and whistles it will take me a couple days lol (I did not order it alphabetically sorry)

@GaryFunk Thanks. I like that. I have to revert as I already have a custom.css and there are things in there I need. I'll have to clean up the old one and add the new one.

Do you think you can do anything for a logo image?

vrijvlinder

@GaryFunk:

Ok I made this one but you really need to be more specific, it is hard to guess what you like but this is surely better no? keep in mind it is made to work with dark backgrounds..

@vrijvlinder i really like the logo.

hbf

i like the one without the lower tag text
