Opinions Needed - Subliminal Mall Banner

Hello, it is ME again :D Remember my blue mall banner? Well, it is time I change it... A few things were decided: I'm removing the faerie spots and adding a couple cattegories so it's all covered without the faeries, but I'm adding the faeries to the button of the cattegory... I want to do it Holiday-like.. SO I was using green and red.. But it looks pretty ugly IMO lol Anyone has any xmas-ssy banners I can look at for color idea? I do NOT plan on stealing graphics I want to make my own, but sometimes it's easier to understand a color setup if you see other graphics done... I've looked around premade pages but couldn't find seasonal graphics *shrugs* This is what I have so far and you can see how AWFUL it is. I mean it's just plain ugly -.- The color set I mean... OFC the shapes are not awful.. They're the same as my blue banner but that green... *shivers* So, fire off, any ideas? (banner on second post so I can edit that off, if needed) ------------------------------------- *star*MODERATOR NOTICE | ** MOVED ** from Graphics Requests to Shop/Graphics Advice/Criticism -------------------------------------

Fact: Blue is used in 75% of presentations. Just a little random thing i came across while doing my research for color

Yeah, I also read somewhere (I'm thinking a psychology course book, but I can't say for sure) that blue is the most popular color according to international surveys. - Kara

[quote=Dmitri]Fact: Blue is used in 75% of presentations. Just a little random thing i came across while doing my research for color[/quote] Well, Neomallers is pretty much a big range of blue shades, even the text in "Members online:" and "Guests online:" Seem to have more blue than grey tint. I wonder what this site would look like in green or something different. ;) (Maybe a little April fools joke, Dmitri? *lol*) Edit: like the "Moon Sword" I drew up one day on the computer that I now use for my avvie, a white background looked boring and blue was the only color I could find that fit, and with just bitmap I didn't really want to do much with the color changing. --- Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.
