Forum:Final decision on new wiki background: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:56, October 16, 2011

Hi everyone,

A while ago, one of you suggested a new background change for the wiki, as we've had our current one for quite a while. Then some of you submitted several new pictures which we could use. Now as a community, we'd like to hear your final say on which one you'd like best to see as the new background. Here is the complete list of submitted backgrounds:

NOTE: Some of you might find the images go off your screen resolution. Apologies for that, but I figured it was best to have them shown directly on the page so you can all make a comparison between all of them.

Lots of options, but only one can be made our new background. I'm personally for no. 4 to win the vote, but of course many will have a different opinion. Please submit your final opinions below, for whichever image you like best, but please try to vote for just one or two so a majority vote can more easily made. The deadline for submitting input is November 10th, 2011.

Best regards,

No. 4 - It's iconic, calm, beautiful, and shows the Forerunner nature and architecture. No Forerunner, no Halo. It's Scenery Porn, and you know it. —S331 _{(Tank beats Everything!)} 10:21, 16 October 2011 (EDT)
No. 4 (I know I've said it before, but eh), as per Spartan331 and the fact that sitenotice and other interface stuff doesn't blend in as well (by default) with no. 18 as it does with no. 4, which makes no. 4 easier to work with on interface issues and looks, imo, just as good :). - File:Major.png Nìcmávr ^(Tálk) 10:38, 16 October 2011 (EDT)
Here goes my vote for #4. Note to others; do note that this is for general appearance. When a Halo title is set to come out in two weeks time, the wiki (and the decoration/launch-celebrator team who works behind the scenes improving the wiki's appearance) will try its best to create a theme to celebrate the launch of that title. A perfect example would be the launch of Halo: Reach, which you all can see in this image. So, all of these images will be stored/archived for future use and would not lost in time. :) — subtank 10:40, 16 October 2011 (EDT)
