Hey folks, I added a cool header bookshelf image of recent selections courtesy of the inimitable @Apocryphal . How does it look in your browser? What do you think?
(Note that you won't see it on mobile.)

Looks great on my laptop!
Very nice!
Although the condensed version still appears in the black bar above. Can that one be removed, just leaving the black?
@Apocryphal Weird, I changed it but it somehow reverted. Maybe I forgot to save. Either way, I put the book logo back.
The site is looking really beautiful guys!
@Apocryphal The theme puts in the name of the forum when there's no logo. I suppose we could put the logo in partially faded with the name of the club overlaid? Open to suggestion to have something there.
Post Ray's original image and I'll play with it. I always like the logo, but it looks a bit lost tucked up there.

OK, try this.
No, this - should match the background colour better.
Aw, no color? I think it's a touch bland with no color, but I like the direction! Maybe the book in color, left-justified, with TTRPBC or all spelled out?
@Apocryphal I dropped it in and reverted the touch icons/favicons. They are more complicated than you think (I found this out last week!) for maximum mobile device compatibility.
Also note that this theme appears to want its logo image at 200x108.
With the book far-left justified, we have a fair chunk to drop in lettering.
I liked the black and white look myself, but I'm easy.
@Apocryphal I did too, but it felt too washed-out IMHO, particularly with the B&W bookshelf. Are you pro or con some words or letters up there?
Yeah. It doesn't really look good up there. Doesn't seem to fit stylistically in any case. Maybe Shoot TTRPBC a letter at a time from different books and collage it together?
Letters are OK, and I didn't mind just having text there. We can try what Ray suggests. It'll take a bit of time, but we're not in a rush.
Like this:
Tell me that wouldn't look hot up there! LOL.
And that took no time at all.
Grump. I like the book and will figure out a place to put it.
Let me put that logo in there, it looks amazeballs. What are the books?
I didn't keep track of which books. I'm going to sharpen it and tone it a little better to the color scheme here. But yeah, It's kind of classy up there.
Try this. (One full size and one resized to match that corner graphic.)
Done. Thanks, @Ray_Otus !
Yeah, that looks a little better. I think the primary thing was to get this place to the point where we feel comfortable inviting people over to hang out. And I'm totally there. Once I get some free time I am going to start trying to coax some of my reading friends who are lurking on G+ over here.
I support community outreach.
Looks cool! Thanks @Ray_Otus
Every time I click the tab to open this community I think 'Wow, this place looks great!' Nice work, guys!
