Community Banner Image - eviltoast

Now that we have a weekly poll (thanks @g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world for extending that over from the lemmy.world instance), I’d be happy to update our banner weekly with the results.

I made a few mockups in Photoshop with the preseason AP rankings and would like the community’s input. Because web/mobile/app clients display it differently and often superimpose the community icon either in the bottom left or center, the design parameters are kind of tricky.

Option 1:

I feel this one balances a clean layout with a fresh look.

Option 2:

This is the most straightforward, but also most reminiscent of r/cfb. I personally would rather not directly rip off their look, but if a one-to-one replacement is what the community wants, this is the closest.

Option 3:

A whole 25 teams gets cluttered, but the result is kind of interesting. Couldn’t really fit the ranking numbers though.

I’m of course open to other suggestions as well. I thought about trying out different end zone ideas, such as the old-school diagonal lines, but kept it simpler for now.

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I liked the suggestions for the end zones to feature the #1 team, so we’ll try it out. As always, I’m open to suggestions so we can modify the design as the season goes along – just message me or post a comment in the weekly poll threads.
