EDIT: I added full mockups with the theme changes added. Click the link for a large version of the capture to get the real vibe for it. I replicated the code for the site and put the changes in myself so this is not just a prototype done in PS. It's working code that I'm toying with (which is why the top ad-bar is gone ). I could literally just send the CSS and whatnot to Chicken to use without issue. I would host them, but I don't want to risk any legal issues with Chicken.

This is my post from the other thread. I figured I'd start a new thread to keep all updates and whatnot in the OP. I'll also be able to put dates when updated so people know when there's something new.

So, after leaving town for a few days and getting a bit sick, I've finally had time to toy with it a bit. I revised the lines as was suggested. I also toyed with a grass texture, but it'd be annoying to base the theme on it. Because of that, I figured I could just put it on the field. Personally, I like it better without, but since I support an open, democratic process, I did my duty. I'm including the hex color codes to allow for easy integration into the site. The current board theme's hex color is #006400. I just realized mine uses #006600. Even though it's really minor, I'll get it changed across the few drafts using it. Since I have a bunch done now, though, I'll show the ones I have.

Drafts

Option A (#006600):



Mockup ( Full Size):






Option B (#0d4b07):

Option C (#0a3705):

Option D (#006600 w/ grass):

Option E (#0d4b07 w/ grass):

After seeing the full mockups, I change my vote to E.

It also has to do with giving Dijkstra his first choice. He did work harder on this than the rest of us.

Wow, I really, really didn't think the grass texture would go through. I was partial to B and C as a result, but now that I know they're in the mix, I like E and F the most.

Honestly, if the SB wants grass, I'm open to D, E, or F. I think E is the best because it's a bit darker of a green and easier on the eyes. I wouldn't mind D, though, since it's the easiest to get changed without asking them to redesign it.

D is looking like a popular early pick, though.

I'm not a huge fan of the grass, but I can see its appeal.

I'll go with E. Like that color for both textures.

I don't know anything about graphic design, but I like the warm fuzzy feeling E gives me.
