A message from the K-Mods:

As you may have noticed, there have been several recent changes made to the layout of the Kommunity front page, including some redesign / shifting of the features layout.

This is all part of R&L’s master plan when they decided to “hand over the keys” for this to become a wholly FAN-BASED and FAN-RUN social network and the K-Mods agreed to take on all of the day-to-day maintenance, operation and safekeeping of the website. 

Today, following the celebration of our 100,000th active kommunity member, we move into the next step of this changeover where we come to YOU, the mythical beasts of the Kommunity, to help us decide what this place will look like in the very near future. Planning is now under way to refresh and redesign the website’s pages including:

A brand new top-of-page BANNER

Effective immediately, we are soliciting all of your considerable talents to create a new banner.  Submit your ideas by posting on this KBE discussion thread.  Better yet, put your Graphic Artists skills to good work and completely design one for us!

Ning's header dimensions are only width bound, so banner submissions can be any height but no more than 955 pixels wide.

The contest to submit your banner design will end on Tuesday, September 15th.  All submissions must be posted by that deadline in order to be included in the voting. Once the K-Mods have had an opportunity to review your designs, a voting place will be opened, so no need to "vote" here and now on the entries being posted up.

A new design theme and color scheme for the entire site

The Ning site builder tools have over 50 basic designs to choose from, but we hope to narrow that down to a “Top 5” before opening up a voting page for the Kommunity members to decide. You can play with the look of your own personal page and maybe come up with a suggestion that’s the best thing since sliced bacon . . . colors, fonts, layout, etc . . . everything can all get the basic or custom design treatment at:

Tell us what you want!

It’s true that not every single wish can be granted, but all serious suggestions will be given due consideration and perhaps you have some idea that will make this site a much better looking and better working place for us all to enjoy. If it's a good idea, benefits the members, promotes a better Kommunity and there's any way to make it happen, we'll jump right on that.

PLEASE NOTE:

Thanks for the responses but, for all who keep asking, just leaving the setup "as-is" is not an option.  Please see below.

NOTE TO ALL: 

the three linked RandLer images are shared with Link's permission and are clean images which can be used in your design efforts.

Very impressive indeed! I really like it! I think that's gonna win! ;)
Thank you for your kind words

Yes a thousand times over.

I don't know why everyone is not for this idea - I think it's a fantastic idea! Change can always be a good thing! Personally, I think we should keep the blue-green color scheme, since it really is kind of the official Rhett and Link colors, but splashes of other colors here and there would make it more fun too. I like one of the ideas below of replacing the Rhett and Link logo in the header with the Rnadler Logo. It does seem more fitting! 

Can we have an option to switch back and forth between the new and old banner? 

I know multiple people have said this already, but I think that at least the colors or green and white should stay as is. I mean, Rhett and Link's logo colors are green and white, and this is a Rhett and Link fan-run website, meaning that the colors should stay as Rhett and Link's logo colors. It would show the spirit. Just my thoughts of why they should stay! I hope that Rhett and/or Link and/or a KMod or KMods see this so that they know what we think about the colors of this website. Thank you for your consideration and for reading this, and I am glad to be one of the 100k+ members of the Kommunity and a Mythical Beast. I would also like to take this time to thank Rhett and Link for such a wonderful weekday show for me to watch as part of my weekday daily routine that also always makes me happy. I'd also like to thank them for starting this Kommunity, bringing me to the next people I would like to thank. That's right, I'm talking about the KMods. Thank you all of you for this wonderful place for me interact with fellow Beasts.

Thanks for your feedback and comments, Faith. We are definitely reading all the input posted about the design! :)

Link said "my two cents". I thought it was "my Bitcoin"!!

the site coul be a little better with some more customization freedom... but it is beautiful as it is now

Hey, I have been having some major problems with my Kommunity profile. 

All of the links and icons are in a row straight down the left side of my screen instead of spread out, half of them don't respond when I click on them, and I can't minimize the main chat room. 

Does this have anything to do with the re-designing process or is it a different problem? And is anyone else experiencing this??

Anyone's help will be greatly appreciated!! (Also, I can provide pictures if someone needs an example)
