I haven't heard a post of "We'll use it... IF you do this..."
So I'm not working on the logo anymore

I love the banner!

Althought my rig is off the logo, it still looks kick a$$!!!!!

One suggestion on the banner though. The last time we made the current banner, we got a few comments from those members that don't offroad and felt that they should be equally represented. Although I offroad like mad on my rig, I think it might be kinda cool to include them as well There are quite a few cool non-offroading 4runners out there!

Since yotatech has 8 letters and there are 4 gens of 4runners, how about having 4 offroading gens and 4 non-offroading gens in that mix? just a thought in the morning before I start working. ugh

Keep up the good work man, I love it!!

I think that looks really nice. I like it. I also like the idea of removing "off-roading" from the slogan. "Let the adventure begin" sounds great. And this is coming from someone who wheels often.

nice idea, but you know those crazy truck guys. they'll lobby for more representation.

okay, here's how you mix it up:

1 4Runner 1st gen
1 4Runner 2nd gen
1 4Runner 3rd gen
1 4Runner 4th gen
2 Tacomas
1 Land Cruiser (or tundra)
1 Toyota pick up

at least half of them in a wheeling situation...but not all.

man i'm smart.

If someone who can actually change the logo speaks up, I'll make another version. If not, there isn't any point.

Well we can go on forever on this idea...

How about some rotating images on those small squares? Some small animated gif would do I suppose

whatever works for me though!

You rang?
We'd like to see some new ideas.
Be aware though that in order to fit 8 rigs into one banner might make it to wide.

It can not be much wider than the one we have now, or those who run less than a 1024x768 resolutionized (dang, did I just make a new word) may have to scroll their screen sideways, and we don't want that now.

It's also possible that in order to fit 8 rigs, each pic would be mighty small, and loose detail.

I do like the idea of having each letter over the rig, but it would have to be light so the rig shows up good.

Ps...
I see the one you made above is not much wider than the one we have now, and might work with 8.

Here are both to compare the size.

I'd much rather see 4 offroading 4Runners and 4 offroading Tacos than 4 non-offroading anything.

Ahhhh, a few minutes with Microsoft Picture It.



Both resized to 600x104.
You lose some detail though when going to a GIF.

I knew I wasn't the only one who wanted to see him rechromed.

I like the changing banner ... but the pic quality sucks

Yeah, after gifilizing it (dang, on a new word roll tonight) both banners have a whitish line around the edges, not good.

I am not a dabbler in the fine art of Photoshop.
I have PS 7, but rarely use it except to resize pics or use blanks in which to copy and paste images into such as print screen.

I bet someone with skills could make good out of both banners, but perhaps try it without the present text, and just use "Let The Adventure Begin" as suggested earlier.
