Hi! The twinking city just doesn't really do for my board. LOL
Board info: the board has a section for the ice road in Canada, that was mainly what brought everyone together to make the board. We have members from other
countries besides Canada and the USA. We also post on other topics besides the ice road, that is just a section on the board. So, if you can come up with a
cool design for the board, I would appreciate it.
http://friendswithoutborders.yuku.com Here is a link to the board so that you can take a look at
it.

well, I don't do full-fledged board design requests, unfortunately. so if that's what you're looking for I can't help ya - too complex, they
take literally hours to make and I just do not have the time.
I can do a banner for the top of the forum, if that is what you want. those take a significantly less amount of time than a skin, and I enjoy making them. that would replace the twinkling city image at the very top with some images blended together about what your board is about... I'm thinking Canadian flags would look good on it, but what is "the ice road in Canada"? is that a specific place or what? I need more details please! :)

Sorry! Yes, I meant doing a banner!
http://www.nunalogistics.com/projects/winter_road/image_gallery.html Here is a link that will show you what the ice road is. Basically it is a series of lakes that have frozen over in winter and have roads made on them to get supplies to the diamond mines that have no access to them during warm months except by air. The History Channel has a series called Ice Road Truckers and I have several people that deal or have dealt with the ice roads on my board. Two of the guys on the show are members also. The board has members from different parts of the world, we got together by our common interest of the ice road, but we post on other topics. So, the board is not entirely about the ice road, just part of it. The board was named Friends Without Borders because members are from different countries and we are basically a friendly board with no bashing. |

oh those are GREAT pictures! do you know if I can use them in the banner? you may have to put a link to Nuna on your board, that is what a lot of people
require when using their photographs.
I will search around for some good pictures in the meantime...

I have a couple of members on my board that have their sites with pic of the ice road. I can ask for their permission to use their pics if you decide to use
them. If there is a link to their site, they may agree to their pics being used.

K. Two versions. one is crappy in my opinion, and would not fit as well into the board's skin... and the other would fit in better, but is not as artsy
looking.
the crappy one: 
nicer one: 
the second one took more time and was much more fun to do. oh, and the pictures came from the history channel website - and I dont' think they will complain because it is free advertising.

oh and you're going to need to get rid of that gradient blue background behind the twinkling city banner if you want these to look nice.

:D well I'm glad you like them.
if you don't want to make a choice, you could alternate between them. use one for a while, then when you're tired of it, the other version, etc...
