I've redone the images -- they're now uniformly 300x200, and I hope you'll like the text better now. The seven of them can be seen together here.

Yep. It occurred to me that nobody has a smaller resolution than 800x600 anymore, and even that's getting rare.

I've added four new banners to the rotation. The full set is, as always, visible here.

Hmm... I think I'll switch B5 and Firefly's colour codes.

Which tells you it's not the Ninth Doctor, of course. It's London, Cardiff, or nothing with that guy.

What do you all think of the Smallville banner? It was the most difficult to come up with, because I don't want to start using actors. The S logo is from Superman Returns.

I think it looks fine!


The only thing is, on the Dr. Who and the B5 especially, the text is really hard to read.

There's a really excellent fan-made image of the TARDIS in the time vortex here - I don't know if it would be okay to use without asking, but I probably would just to be on the safe side.

Looks good to me. Thanks for making it, Zeke.

Maybe not hard to read per se, but it doesn't stand out. Maybe the lettering for those two should have white outlines and shadows instead?

Aside from that, it looks great.
