Hi all, sorry for disappearing for a while, I lost access to my account. I’m hoping to spruce this place up a bit, so am looking to implement a banner and icon, but rather than just pick one myself, I thought I would get your opinions. If you have any photos you think would fit the bill post them here and after a week or so I will upload the most popular.
For an icon i have no idea really. For the banner i think something like this could be good, not that this should be it, just as a concept:
Just some open road, nothing too spectacular, something that everybody touring can connect to. I usually don’t do landscape photos, just portraits (of my bike, haha), so i don’t have a lot of them. Or they are too much of a highlight that they don’t ring ‘bicycle touring’ anymore.
edit: I’m not sure if more abstract bicycle icons are so good, there are already a few from other bicycle c’s. Without panniers though. But i think the c’s with just photo icons also work fine, like [email protected] for example. They only have an icon, no banner, i like it.
Open road is good. But maybe one going straight into the horizon would work better as a banner?
Yeah, i don’t think this is the image, just an example. A smaller road or gravel road would also be nicer. I tried to take other photos but i think the weather was just too shit.
I was just thinking that pictures that are less specific, where people don’t think ‘well that doesn’t look like my bike’ would be good. I really liked the banner that was on the touring sub on reddit. At least on old.reddit, not sure if there was something else on new.
Icon is most important though anyway i think.
