Alright, as we all know ACW needs an upgrade to look less 'old-school'. I can do this, however the problem is I need many ideas for what this skin should look like. Not to be overwhelming, I think we should probably start with a background, and then skin around that (colors are a LOT easier to pick when you have a background to make pop/make recede).
So...are any of our resident graphics guys (or anyone with an idea really) up to the task? It can be literally anything, but it must tile well. We have no idea what the user's screen looks like/how big it is, so it needs to be able to tile. Other than that...it needs to look cool.

I would say just make sure you have white text/black background but because thats your kyptonite I simply say to you, goodluck.

So we have one vote for a black/white themed ACW. Any other color scheme ideas? If not we can try to roll with that. My main goal here is to create a sleek look for ACW that could potentially tie into the site, and attract new guys to the fed. After we get a scheme / background down we can move to rounding out these corners and other cool stuff...however since that requires image changes we should get the aforementioned down first.

acw.awardspace.co.uk/Out of date but stylistically it's what the site will look like. (In case you wanted to tie it into that)

I am not up to the challenge as I have no idea how to do skins and shit.

Don't worry about anything technical. We just need some color scheme ideas and potentially a background image (if the tiling part is what worries you I can handle that).

I second white on black violenceAs far as the background I think something plain but not so plain. I actually really like the bricks idea, maybe if a graphic person could make bricks and a spray paint font that could throw superstars names or even a few images blended into them that'd be cool. Also, Rob. For the site, can we get a picture where Eminem doesn't look like a wanker. psd-dreams.de/render.php?image_id=2190&mode=searchSomething like that?

Let me rephrase that.
I do not want black text on a white background. I want just the opposite. White text on a black background. The other colors, I could careless however I've always thought of ACW as Red/White/Black.

Actually that would be cool. If we had black/white bricks, maybe with a few silhouettes. Actually I'm starting to envision some Sin City type stuff with black/white and then red being the only color (aside from what we throw in promos). The only problem I see with silhouettes is tiling (that is them repeating or getting cut off). I guess do one with and without and then we can work stuff out from there.
This is going to be sweet =p.

Either way I'm going to use the blue background on white text. Black background with white text is like the devil to me.
