Updating BLF Home top banner

Wouldn’t it be time to renew or modernize the BLF home page banner? Those lights (BLF X6, SRK and SK68) are somewhat dated… Maybe a banner that does not focus on particular light models but on light itself? A contest?

No big deal either. It just looks a bit “dusty”…
What do you think?

Yeah it looks very dated and perhaps that SRK and SK68 isn’t the best we might want to show to new visitors. I kinda got used to it so I don’t mind.

I think there was a similar petition years ago but everyone wanted a different banner design or light choices and nothing was done in the end. I know that several active members here are very good with graphic design, but making it to the liking of everyone is impossible.

If it does get updated with newer flashlights, I vote for the FW3A.

Update it with our group buy lights, FW3A, GT, Q8, LT1 etc

Chuckle. I’ve been wondering when this would come up for a while.

I’d suggest going retro — a candle lantern, a kerosene lamp, and a carbide lamp — at least for one day a year.

I vote a portrait of Chairman sb. :stuck_out_tongue:

Update it with some awesomely modified flashlights from forum members.

Leave it alone—wasn’t hurting anybody the way it was.

I’d say either remove pictures of specific lights, and have a logo or graphic designed banner, or have BLF designed/organised lights on show to new visitors. Maybe a poll/vote for which lights should be included.

Update it with a set of pictograms/simple illustrations of all the types/shapes of flashlights available.

Nah.

I like this idea.

I’ll second that. I think it would be great to have some of the newer lights that were born from BLF.
On the other hand, I been around here for awhile and understand that some things become part of the history of this place and are hard to let go to some of us old timers.
I just feel like that to keep up to date for new members the more recent BLF project lights would be more appropriate.

I’ll third it - that’s a good idea - maybe make a new one which includes the old ones (although I’m not fussed either way) then it might please everyone. I’m sure someone on here owns one of those 3 if more photo’s were needed (at same angle etc)

I own them all, I love our BLF group buys!

I like the lighthouse logo from the LT1. A lighthouse is a positive, friendly symbol.

Well, two out of three are even from before my time, I guess. I go straight to “recent posts” so basically I don’t care. But I can imagine when you tell someone about BLF, and he/she comes to homepage, he/she might get a bit confused. Because this is Budgetlightforum, not Cheapoldlightforum.
Quality of BLF is A-OK, but the first impression might need an update.
I suggest the FW3A, the LT1 and one of the prizewinning creations of our top modders

Agree with you Henk. Maybe some winners of the OL contest too over the past few years? just an idea, since we mod too.

I vote for this one:

Just kidding… Lumintop all the way!

D4S, LT1, S2+
