Actually I did it. 
As the proud artist, the formal statement on my insight to my works is as follows:
If anyone wants to submit their own new festive logo, the offer still stands. Nay-sayers take note; I've laid down the gauntlet, so if you think you can do better stand up to the challange and come up with your own.
You can't moan if you did squat, criticise other's (qualifying) submissions or just dredged up a picture that clearly won't work.
Mandatory Requirement it must be 327x100pixels in size. Any other size cannot be used as it will cause the forum to self implode*
*not really, but it'll screws things up and makes a simple job alot harder

"Christmas is often considered to be a tacky time of year with gordish tasteless decorations, so I used this inspiration to convey the same vision, but applied with a Subaru theme".

I have to say the current banner is a bit average.
...and why is it showing a Hatch...possibly the wurst Impreza ever...
...and the snowman is wearing the colours of the Swedish national football team (that's ok if it's the womens team just let's have some photos?)

Well thankyou for you efforts ALi. If thats your best, then i think for the 'image' of the forum your best is just not good enough in this case. Sorry.
I am no good at things like this, art or grphics. As i said above, you need think of the image you are presenting. And imho, the forum would look better with out your 'visual' contribution. Again, sorry.

How come we can have HUGE pics in our posts, but can only just manage to squeeze a tiny corner for our christmas 'banner' (postage stamp)?
I think the simpler and more concise the better. Much like the one that is beening suggested above. And surely, it wouldn't take that much to enlarge it.
You can do it for the advertisers,why not for your members?

I would like to nominate that for post of the year
Fairtrade coffee all over my iPad and iPhone :d
As my antique classic sits bubble wrapped in the garage to be fetched out at shows when all the rest have been blown up /crashed/rusted away that are on the roads today .
Newage hatches are the best
Scoobynet are looking modern with the Xmas decorations rather then in a museum

(btw,saw my old Impreza last week; Its going rusty around the rear arches. Well, I suppose after 13yrs its bound to happen
)Anyway don't like it? Make your own. It is supposed to be a competetion afterall.

If you look at the blue section at the top of the screen (I've proposed to change this to white as it clashes) you will see its actually a slice image that is only 2 pixels wide repeated so it fills the width of the window: http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...coobynetbg.jpg
Swapping or changing this 2 pixel picture to anything wider than 2 pixels involves alot more work than just uploading a file to replace the orginal logo. And if its done wrong, it will **** up the way the page is displayed in certain browsers.

That's partly the issue. If anyone has made a website, they will know its based around templates. Those templates have to be carefully made so everything fits properly regardless of monitor size, screen resolution or browser window size. Including the adverts and banners etc.
