That logo atop the forums has served us well for lo these many years, but a new forum means it's time for a new banner! Anyone with Photoshop skills willing to contribute?

I work best with criteria, dimensions, preferred colors, etc. Those and other kinds of things you like will help me get brainstorming. I'm not phenomenal or anything, but I also just like to give it a swing and don't complain if I don't hit a homer.
I would clean it up a lot, but I've always been partial to gameplay sprite based collages myself. Here is one I did in about an hour when I knew a lot less about Photoshop than I do now.

Just an idea...
What about mascot banners that change with each time the page loads? You have a similar base image with a new character each time, letting you give more of the Genesis library of characters some love.

That's a cool idea, I like those banners too, it would be cool to have a rotation of those plus a few other Sega characters, maybe Vecotorman, Blaze, Sketch Turner, etc... Originally Posted by The Coop

That is nice. Uh oh, but this emphasizes the underground war between favorites of SoJ and SoA.

Two others...
The height would be 80 pixels (three of them were 70, but Blaze doesn't fit in 70), with the width bring 350. That would allow a good number of Genesis characters to fit, without getting too big.

The Revenge of Shinobi one wins, hands down. Anybody who says otherwise is a fanboy.

I'd like to see Garfield featured on one of those mascot banners. That game was made by Sega so it definitely counts.
My selling thread, a loose Suikoden II, lots of PS1 stuff, a sealed Primal Rage 32X, a CIB SMS system and more!

As cool as I think the suggestions are, I'm against an animated banner - or at least against too much animation in the banner. Maybe it's just me, but I find it annoying to have something that twitches around constantly being visible in the corner of my eye.
The Sonic and Shinobi ones are pretty cool, but Earl is too distracting IMO.The funny thing about an oxymoron is, even if you remove the ox, there'll always be a moron. The Question Remains: Y?

I love the animated banner, would be even cooler if Blaze did the fireball or a spin kick

I recommend these characters in one, or several, Sega-16 banner(s):
- Gilius Thunderhead from Golden Axe
- Sonic
- Vectorman
- Ecco
- Gunstar Red and/or Blue
- Epsilon Eagle from Alien Soldier (the big close up pic in the intro)
- Chaz from Phantasy Star IV
- Michael Jackson
- The Thunder Force ship
- A single banner with Prince Steven from Beggar Prince, Wukong, Hoston from Pier Solar and the lead characters from the upcoming Star Odyssey and Affinity:Sorrow
- Joe Musashi
- Pulseman
- Axel and Blaze from Streets of Rage
