Here is the banner:



Here's the sidebar:



Here's how it would look on the site:



The reasons I went with this design:
- The banner is shorter than the current banner, cutting about 40px off and decreasing the size, increasing space for site content
- The banner is not explicitly starcraft, but has strong connections with starcraft, which will most likely be a key game from here out (and certainly is now)
- I feel that the color (the greys behind the explosion) matches the site layout well.
- You can directly replace the two current images (banner and sidebar) with these two, making the change effortless.

Thanks!

Cool, but do we really need to make the sidebar D:?

I wouldn't think you would need to, however I felt mine would look much better if the explosion could transition across. Otherwise you're limited to transparent BGs (or you'd have a harsh vertical line going down the right side of your image).

Thanks 

If the motto is going to be changed (to Making B.NET Magic, for example), and mine is picked, I can easily change the motto as well.

wow i just wet myself thats just amazing.

I seriously love this banner! It's simpleness it's so beautiful! Just one little thing, sorry for my missunderstanding but, wich are the differences between you sidebar and the site's one? 

yep, I saw that too.  sounds like your a fellow webdesigner.  looks like it too.
