As I mentioned yesterday I've been reading a lot about U.S. Copyright Law in an effort to better protect myself and the team I'm working with on a project slated for the first of 2016. The discussion that came about ended up mostly about the technical law as opposed to the moral question that I was interested in; but if that's what people want to talk about who am I to complain?

| Lobster Monster Banner |
Anyway I got to thinking about my Lobster Monster banner that I've used for the majority of my blog's life and decided that it was time for a change. The new banner which I've taken to calling Downtown Dyvers is an image that I made using paint.net and a half dozen pictures from 1910-ish. Combining them together to create the banner was a lot of fun and it just kind of fits what I think Dyvers is becoming. It's a bit busy, a hodgepodge of lots of stuff, and the most interesting people are all going their own way.
I may, eventually, go back to a new version of the Lobster Monster banner in the future but if I do it will be different in some substantial ways. It needs to be because the blog is growing and changing into something better. The audience is growing daily and I want that banner to reflect the changes that are happening both with them and with me.
Pretentious?
Maybe.

| Downtown Dyvers Banner |
Either way I like it, though I think that the word Dyvers may need to go to a pure white. Time will tell as I need to look at it on the blog for a bit before I make the call. Anyway, I hope you all like the new background, link colors, and banner.
I like the new banner a lot. It's got character and originality. I think it's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris!
DeleteNo more reading Dyvers in the dark. White type is brutal on the eyes. Still, things look swell.
ReplyDeleteI'll see if I can do anything about that in the next couple of days.
DeleteI like the change. Really dig the banner. Gives it a bit of victorian/industrial class. I hate to throw around steampunk too much as it is becoming rather worn-out.
ReplyDeleteProbably a good thing since I tend to play in a world that has strong industrial/Victorian elements with a modern world view. It's fun and that's all that matters in the end.
