As one can notice, there is a new background. I made this myself with help from a tutorial. It's about 472KB so it's a bit big. Soon I will be creating a banner for JMC. This board will have a more interesting design in the near future.

If you need help in designing some things such as banners, etc., I've had some experience with Photoshop, so I can cook something up for ya.

I have completed the new banner for Jet Moto Central. It's all made by me except for the abstract brush, the font and the cover of Jet Moto 1. The hardest part was the checkered flag, because I had to make it myself because I couldn't find a decent stock image of one.
A special note. I found the Jet Moto logo font and I was gonna make the logo with that font but I decided against it. I chose to use the PS3 font because it represents our ultimate goal. A PS3 (or higher, it it takes that long) version of Jet Moto.

I have to say, it looks pretty sweet. Good job on the banner.

BTW, the green coloring for the swirling background image, while cool, makes it hard to read some of the links/clickable text.

Hmm I guess you're right. I hadn't noticed until now. I'll have to look into that, either recolor the links or tone down the background. This is only temporary but it does represent the kind of theme I want for this board. Cool "action-y" designs, because that's what Jet Moto to me represented. Things are still in alpha stages.

Maybe get the link font to be blue? Everything is looking good, especially with the banner. Blue and green are the colors of Jet Moto, and you used those very well.

Yes I wanted to have that blue green theme to represent JM. I'm looking into skins for the board but that is proving to be difficult because there aren't blue/green themes that work well. I'll leave this for tomorrow I got to sleep and go to classes in the morning.

Do not adjust your monitors I removed the background. I'm making one that is less bright and will include the loading screens from some JM tracks.

The swirls are back! They are more subtle and shouldn't cause much of a disturbance when looking for some links that are over it. I also added maps of two tracks Nightmare and Snow Blind. Green is toned down also because it can be an overbearing color.
Oh the reason why the swirls are a bit pixelated is because the background is in GIF format and I had to keep the size under 500. This one is 380ish KB, more than 100 KBs smaller then the earlier background.

Very nice!
I love the way the track map is blended in with the swirls.
