I just noticed today that the AP top header has more vivid colors and somehow seems different. Is this new, or did I notice only now?

It was requested to Jerry that we remove the artwork of the previous artist by said individual. So we now have new custom graphics that are all our own while still in keeping with what used to be there that we are all used to.

Cheers,
Sean

I might add this was at the artists request. Sean and his computer created this beauty.

Best to get rid of everything when cleaning house. The new graphics are great. Out with the old in with the new.

I too like the new graphics better. But Jerry, no turtle? LOL!

I like the new graphics! Even a frog and turtle were added! Very bright and colorful. Thanks Sean!

I really like it.
Added color to the lily pad & a turtle.
Love it.

I find it a little sad, but it is what it is. Looks good, though! Hope you aren't bound by any copyright laws pertaining to the font, position of the art, etc.

Sean · « **Reply #14 on:** July 12, 2010, 08:51:59 PM »

The typeface was all Jerry so no copyright infringement there
The original graphic is attached for any and all to see. There is nothing that says the same approximate layout with different graphics can not be used. I have revamped the graphics and will create a new banner as time permits. I can and will do much better but this is the best I could do within an hour in order to remove the previous artists work as requested.

Cheers,
Sean

Jerry · « **Reply #15 on:** July 12, 2010, 10:17:02 PM »

We were happy with the old art. It was only changed at the artists request,.
Not only did Sean do it well but after spending 40 years as a sign Painter I could do it justice as well.

Sean · « **Reply #16 on:** July 13, 2010, 12:09:02 AM »

I have started the banner transformation toward my vision, you should easily be able to see where I plan to go with this

A little more each day will be added.

Cheers,
Sean

I love creativity! Go for it Sean and Jerry!

Jerry · « **Reply #18 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:22:33 AM »

A bit busy, but I like it anyway.
How about some string algae?

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #19 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:29:31 AM »

I object to the heron and raccoon!

They give me the heebie-jeebies, not conducive to calm.

Esther · « **Reply #20 on:** July 13, 2010, 11:28:11 AM »

Very nice, Sean. The heron makes me nervous. LOL I am anxious to see how this ends up. Thanks for doing this.

Holldoll · « **Reply #21 on:** July 13, 2010, 03:20:59 PM »

I don't like the heron or raccoon either. Gives me nightmares!

Vickie · « **Reply #22 on:** July 13, 2010, 04:09:07 PM »

I like it all. It is part of ponding as far as the critters go. I think Sean did a fantastic job.

Esther · « **Reply #23 on:** July 13, 2010, 05:27:16 PM »

Yes Vickie, unfortunately you are right.

Jerry · « **Reply #24 on:** July 13, 2010, 06:14:54 PM »

He is right. A heron is part of ponding. Many of us have Heron statuary, I do.
I like Herons especially sauted in onions!

Vickie · « **Reply #25 on:** July 13, 2010, 08:12:35 PM »

yes I have a heron statue too.

LeeAnne151 · « **Reply #26 on:** July 14, 2010, 08:50:31 AM »

rocky and the heron have got to go!

Jerry · « **Reply #27 on:** July 14, 2010, 03:17:19 PM »

the more i see it the more I like it.

Busy, yes, but so what!

Sean · « **Reply #28 on:** July 14, 2010, 06:10:55 PM »

For the time being it will be a placeholder. I want to design a landscape with the various flora and fauna and then have the American Ponders logo fade in and out so you see both alternately, either an animated gif or a flash movie. It looks great in my mind, I just need to sit down and create it.

Cheers,
Sean

Sounds fabulous, Sean!

I don't know anything about graphics but wouldn't it be cool to have an animation of sorts of a waterfall, pond, fishies and of course some of your beautiful lilies and other greens. Now your idea is sending waves of excitement!
