Right on. Worst case I can do it from scratch again. I really think it could be a ton better.

I don't really like the font you used for WiiUnite, but I'm really picky about fonts. I spent about 30 minutes trying to pick one out for MEX's banner, and I finally settled on one of the first ones I looked at.

Would it be possible to have board specific banners?

Would it be possible to have board specific banners?  I don't know that for sure, but I'm doubtful. And a suggestion: we could have multiple banners and have them change?
I don't see why not.

So, I'm bummed that my first go at it in probably a year or so is turning out to be something to the effect of 'artist's block'.  This is what I came up with in about an hour and a half. After another hour or so just wondering what is missing/wrong I gave up. Any ideas? At the very least I feel like the silhouette could use some...liveliness, ugh!

Maybe add some windows to the buildings, but on a very low opacity so that you almost don't see them. Also, you could have the colored outlines use gradients to go from green to red to blue. In this case, I think the spotlights should be positioned in somewhat random patterns, just something asymmetrical. If you're up to it, you could even put searchlights on top of the buildings. It'd also be cool if you just took the outline of the emblems and recolored them, so they actually look like they're being projected onto the clouds. For better clouds, you could do another cloud layer on a disperse, duplicate it and put the copy on low opacity on soft light. Then just erase the original to the point that it looks good and the emblems project onto it. You could make a black-white gradient on the background to make the silhouette pop out. I also really think it'd look better shorter. Just my suggestions, since we can't share layers

I've already done a trial. I could hardly run it, and it was hard to get used to a new program.
