I didn't even notice the horsies in the background! Forgive me, for I have but barely awoke. The new banner has all of my love, all of my love, all of my love to it. Cause I get a little bit lonely, sometimes, without you babe (new banner).

Banner is really cool, but the horses in the background.. man... might as well put dragons and knights in armor. I thought we were changing the banner, not half-assing it. You kept the same thing, and put modern block letters on top.

The horse thing is lame, but the horse symbol is fucking badass. That's why they put a symbol there, looks cool and symbolizes power/cunning. Why do we need faded, blue unicorns in the back, super gay imo, and lazy. If you want a new banner, get one, but don't just alter it.

I love it. Those horsies have gotten me through some tough times, and so long as they remain I will be pleased.

Well, it has horses.
Anyways, you could pass it off as a "new banner for a new age"

It's nice and sleek too!

You know I wrote a long over analyzing post about the banner design...and then by the time I finished I realized I seemed crazy reading it back to myself. So that aside, in my opinion the line and bottom text could use some centering to the text above and the right side of the horse logo could be larger (which I think is more anatomically correct anyway?).
Overall though I like it, as long as I can see the old horses I'm good.

Love the new design, looks very professional, I just dont like the mouse over drop down menu, really annoying to use.

Even discounting the history of the horses on TL, I think it adds cool texture/depth to the banner.

It's alright. I like the new sleek layout while preserving the old style; however, the banner seems a bit...lackluster imo. So...prefer old banner, but I like the new design. At least you can see the remnants in the background :D

The banner wasn't the only thing that changed. The whole look of the website has changed slightly as well. I just want to thank the teamliquid staff for doing a great job and for keeping in mind the various views of its users. We all know how much it sucks to have Blizzard screwing us up at times and surely learn from those experiences!

The new banner feels more like an eSport/starcraft site. It's cleancut with and the font/logo/solid colors. It's very efficient and to the point, Name-Logo-Content(SC Progaming, Community, Team) - what you'd expect from a professional site for news and information.

The old one is more artistic and homely. Its less focused. It was a bit warmer and welcoming imo, so that is a bit of a shift. Also the font was a bit weird with the randomly missing letter outlines hehe.

I liked it, but the new one is probably more suitable to the direction of TL in 2010. Nice touch keeping the horses in there.
