I added a poll (it's on the 1st page of this thread) and deleted the "reply" votes and tallys so you don't end up with a 6 page thread.  I kept the vote open for 10 days.

Thanks! Oh I wouldn't have minded. I have been involved in Threads that are Literally hundreds of Pages long. Like, I'm talking 600-700 by the time that I stopped adn it's still going to this day and is closer to 1000 now!

 I noticed that there are 2 votes for [E] and "0" for [C] and [J] can you add those votes as well? Thanks Marty! Or was that the 2 that Chose [C] but changed their vote because The Bear was awake! lol

I do think that Everyone should have a fair vote though and that was a great addition! Not sure if people will actually take your seriously or not...  ;)  ;)

 Funny stuff. Good to see an open and friendly Forum for a Change!  Most are all negative and bossy. Just saying that it gets old dealing with the same type of people allof the time.

I wanted to vote for A-1, but there isn't an option in the poll.  :-\

It's probably too late, but to suggest a mix of existing options into an option --> I like the front/angel/E.yellow combo, but with either a solid or non-existent circle, don't care on the water mark, no discus/para-jag-thingy because they make it too busy, and U of M font colors ... not sure where the origin for the blue/orange is coming from unless it's simply because it's the default simplemachines color scheme.  8)

 The reason that I went with Orange Font Border was to match a bit with the Forums hit of Orange. but Yeah, I figured that some would like Yellow for the UofM Font!

IMHO this thread is already too cluttered. I think it would have been better to move the potential choices to a separate thread with the voting poll only....no other replies, etc.
Also, I think there are way too many choices and it should be simplified by the opinions from the original thread.
I didn't vote because I'm not sure which letter goes with which option. Too many added options apart from the others.
My 2 cents for the banner....solid oval, drop shadow, no water mark, Electric Yellow instead of the Empress.
The Parachromis looks good but the Discus looks out of place to me. Also, the pic of the Moba has great color but I do not like the dorsal fin lying flat...it takes away the elegance of that species of fish.
I was going to offer a great pic of Godzilla but for some reason Photobucket is being a prick on this computer I am using.

  Thereads a Thread really. I can uinderstand where you're coming from but the Ifrst post was altered to give direction to the Page of Choice. I can put them on the first Post if you like which does indeed make sense. I'll go ahead and do that now. Each Banner is Labelled with a Letter of "A" through "J" although A-1 was left out. Which isn't a big deal, beasue it's just a change in Font color. The rest have discriptions of what they are and the change that made to them in Parentheses.

 It's Pretty simple. Just choose the Banner that Has the most of what you like and vote for it.

 As far as the Fish in the MCA logo, they are almost Identicle to what the Parent Sites Original Logo is. And I think that it's respectable to keep that as accurate as possible. like I said, call me old Fashioned.  ;)

 LOL- No Making the Choice...

 There are some with Drop Shadow, Some without. Some hav a Certain combination of the Fish and some with others. Some with one type of oval and some with another... LOL- See simple!?  :P

 Good thing that I didn't make each banner with each option then... There would have been about 50 to choose from! lol

 A, A-1, B, B-1, C, C-1, D, D-1, Etc... LOL

If you have the expertise to show me how to place a banner on the board, I'd be more than happy to do so.  I'm learning as I go, and frankly haven't had time to fart around with figuring out how to do so.

Adding in a banner to smf was pain.  This mod would likely be the esiest way to go- http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=351
