Keep Ben in the upper right corner or just leave it blank?

Keep him there
Just make that area blank and save the space
Use a different picture, but still race-oriented
Use a different picture, but more SCLR people-oriented

Keep Ben on the Home Page?
« on: November 11, 2009, 07:10:21 PM »
I got annoyed with the Simple Machines Forum logo that was in the upper right corner and replaced it with Elbowz.  Let me know if you guys think we should keep him or put something else up there, like a pic that conveys "easy going sport riders" a little more than a picture of Ben does.  I just thought it made sense to have some kind of moto picture up there so people who find the site know what's up.  Of course if they find us and don't know who Ben Spies is, they might think we're a bunch of wheelie-riding assholes.   ;D

i think he's pushing the rest of the content too far down, losing focus on the important stuff (recent posts, message content, etc).  give me specs and i'll design a header for this.

Eh, but I think my bro is right about the pic of Spies... I tried to make it as small yet still recognizable as possible, but it just pushes down the rest of the content too far.   :P

I like it, but would be interested to see what Judd can do.

Me too.  I e-mailed him some initial info earlier today so we'll see what happens; nice to have a pro help out.
