At the last meet it was discussed that we should have a banner with our new name on it and at the minute, this is it. I hope I didn't miss anyone too important and you won't be shouting at me for it! If you had one in the works by all means post it. All the submissions the better but do let me know because we'd like to get it up asap
Feedback, as always, greatly welcomed

Looking sweet! Great work, Chris.
The comic book theme down the side is bril!!! My 3 favouites and the 3 most popular, nice touch. 
The only way I would change anything is to maybe make it a little more star warsy as we are more star wars than anything else, I know the clonetrooper is on there but maybe someone more iconic like Vader or Luke would be better. Just my thoughts, either way it is one of hell of a sweet banner!

Cool 
I agree also that maybe it should be a little bit more Star wars, or just a SW image/character that is larger and stands out more, to indicate SW is the big part, even though you cover other areas
Other then that it is great. I like the colour

Richie, where do you get your information that we are primarily a SW group? You aren't part of the group, haven't been there at the meetings where we've discussed multi-genre fandom etc.

I'm simply agreeing with that
I meant it in terms of this being primarily a Star wars site. It's fine for you to expand into other things. But people who come to this site are most likely to be Star Wars fans, and maybe put off by an area they could view as a minor Star wars area.
First impressions are important.
Obviously your banner doesn't have to be totally star wars related like many other chapters have. All I'm suggesting is that a slight emphasis on Star Wars with the FFUK & tfn based part of SFFG might suit you better, but do as you wish.
The banner looks good as it is

I like the new banner, too, although I do have to agree with Richie on the more Star Wars-needed theme. Having a multi-genre banner is all well and good for the SFFG website, but while you are the FFUK: Midlands and part of theforce.net, you are primarily Star Wars, and therefore your banner should reflect as such. If you want to be a "Multi-genre fandom" as Phill put it, then perhaps your SFFG should be separate from TF.N, because TF.N is a Star Wars site, and a Multi-Genre fandom website is going to be viewed as something entirely separate. If you're going to remain part of FanForce, which is a Star Wars fan group, better start putting some emphasis on Star Wars, eh? Have whatever banner you want for the SFFG website, because that's entirely your domain, but while you're on the TF.N's Jedi Council Forums, a Star Wars themed banner is not only expected, but pretty much necessary.

SFFG = Midlands Fanforce
They're the same group, not two separate entities. Even the Jedi Council Forum's as you nicely emphasised, have recognised a need to expand beyond Star Wars, hence the new Sci-Fi/Fantasy forums on these very boards.
We, as a group, thought that being multi-genre would be fun. As such, Chris was asked to do a multi-genre themed banner, which even Tim agrees is excellent (see his post above).

Phill and I have discussed this quite a lot, chapters take the direction their members want, and looking towards the future is something the FF-UK: Midlands is placing great emphasis upon in terms of expanding (like tfn is) towards other fandoms, I support them wholly in this.
Not everyone on our boards are EU fans, so currently they have 1-3 years wait for any new material from GL (ie tv series). In the meantime, there are plenty of new things non-SW to be into, so their banner reflects that. In fact both banners reflect that (check the current one).
It was Jon who first pointed the Star Wars bit though Phill, Richie and Spike just reiterated it. But the main point is that this is the direction FF-UK: Midlands is looking towards, decided upon by their members. It's down to each individual chapter. And I don't believe there is a policy on banner content, but each banner reflects something of each chapter.

lol!
what the hell has it got to do with anyone what we have on our banner? if we like it then so what?
chris as cr has put together a fantastic banner, and folks from outside of our chapter come in and pass comment! jon can comment if he wants, but as tim pointed out to me, people really should stick to their own chapter business and not poke their noses into other chapter's business . jon is a midlander and his views will no doubt be taken on board.
as for star wars content because it's a star wars site, anyone fancy clicking the philadelphia link in our header and looking at their banner? hmmm?

I wasn't complaining about the banner! I just felt someone more Star Wars iconic would be better on there. Like Luke on the current banner, but either way its an awesome banner and I'm not really fused. I like it either way, the clonetrooper is nice touch.
