New banner

So far I’ve seen:
- Kryten Mask (without Robert)
- Sophie Winkleman
- The Dave cast shot outside the health centre
- The Dave on set shot with Kryten having a make up touch up
- Craig/Lister in the suit

I should go to sleep now but I’m all addicted!
Gotta catch em all!
It’s like Pokemon :oP

There’s also carbug

…and one more that you won’t see very often.

Is it a foaming twat?

> Is it a foaming twat?

You got it in one! (Seriously.)

I just broke my F5 key.

“F5 key”.

No more “re-freshing” for me.

You’re all out of “spunk”.

Incidentally, I think my favourite is the one of the first pap shot we saw with Chris peeking over the top of someone’s head and looking all cross.

> You’re all out of “spunk”.

I’m so lost without you.

Karl posting exactly what I was going to post, there.

I know you were right believing for so long.

I’m reaching for you, are you feeling it too?

Is it weighted in favour of Sophie Winkleman? I get that one a lot.

I seem to get the Kryten mask the most.

Well, it’s as random as PHP can be.

My favourite one is the pic of Norman smiling.

The Lister one looks like he’s auditioning to be the new Holly.

I like Carbug.

The Lister one looks like he’s auditioning to be the new Holly.

I like the way he appears to be deeply worried about the top avatar on the page.

I nominate this header for Fucking Twat status.

You did it! You finally did it!

See, I told you the rare one was of a foaming twat.

Oh, and no doubt Katerina will spread across our banner soon.

Ah, the lesser spotted twat.

Have you just added Katerina and Rimmer?

Cartoon starbug!

Can’t get anything past you guys, can we?

>Cartoon starbug!

Car(toon star)bug!

I like the comic book starbug. And the whole slice of picture in general.

> I like the comic book starbug.

win

the one of Norm just scared the shit out of me

I just got evil Hattie :o)

evil Hattie’s great
Norm looks like he should be in a Hammer movie

Smouldering picture of Chloe there.

Norm looks like hes eyeing me up.

You look like you’re eyeing me up.

Can you blame him?

Nobody eyes me up :(

That’s because your icon disturbs people and makes them want to claw their eyes out.

CHLOE!

Bloody hell you could have given us some warning. My underpant elastic just went flying across the room.

Is it a very very small room?

There’s room enough for two honey bun.

Will you two just get a room or something?

Allready have done sir.

Encore.

Norm’s big old man caterpillar eyebrows just scare me.

Just saw the new Bunkroom pic in the Banner.

*Waits patiently for today’s pictures to appear in the banner*

Was it worth it?

First time I’d seen the new pic’s was in the banner. And it looked cool.

I made the buggers and I haven’t seen them yet!!

*wonders if the screengrab of the ship will make it into the banner*

Naughty boy.

What? I like looking for things I might’ve missed.

Is that a proper ‘naughty boy’? Have I been really naughty? Sorry.

I’ve been doing it for weeks.

Is that a proper ‘naughty boy’? Have I been really naughty? Sorry.

Nah. Anything that’s live on our server is fair game. If we wanted anything properly hidden, we’d stick a password on it…

Thank god. Though John, between you and me, you really should keep those posing pouch photos under wraps.

*satisfied*

Am loving the shiny BtE banner.

Hang on, who the hell is that? The youngish skinny guy…

Well done. You’ve found our special ‘cunt’ banner.

Is it rated PG?

Oh is THAT Iain Lee? Now I can hate him on sight too! Thanks!

Hey!

My mum says I’m cute. And so does my sister.

Enough of your twoddle representative Lee. The banners are magnificent, they have certainly added depth to Ganymede and Titan. Bravo.

> My mum says I’m cute. And so does my sister.

Close, are you?

Oh THAT c*nt. I thought you meant the other one.

>Close, are you?

XD

Now, I like that! Well done to whoever did it.

Danny and the kitty … awwww!

Now, I like that! Well done to whoever did it.

which one is “that!”?

I think I was on about the ‘static’ one.

Ah right, yeah I did that one :) And you may be glad to know that your avatar reminded me to make one.

The static one is beyond brilliant.

As much as I love seeing photos from BtE, it might be nice to get some more classic photos and screengrabs in there.

Can we swap out Iain Lee as well? It hurts the eyes.

I used to like the banner using the shot from Ouroboros of the shuttle heading towards the Dwarf.

ARGH!!!!! I’ve just had Iain Lee again. KILL IT KILL IT!!!!

Can we have Ganymede & Tyrell back? I liked it.

> Can we have Ganymede & Tyrell back? I liked it.

It’s still there, just in the regular rotation now.

f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5 … oh yeah XD

I just got Chloe followed by Ganymede & Tyrell. Essentially the entire weekend in two banners. Excellent.

Correction: I got Chloe followed by Tyrell followed by the Golf one. Now that sums up the weekend.

What’s with the Golf one?

Ignore that - just thought back to the DwarfCast, and I get it.

The Abbey Rd inspired one is nice.

I like the holo!stag.

>I like the holo!stag.

Is that German for holiday?

I like the one of John Hoare’s face :oD

>I like the one of John Hoare’s face :oD

I’ve only just seen this one.

Fantastic.

Re: “Still Ain’t No Place…” - I don’t know which picture is more tragic.

> Re: “Still Ain’t No Place…” - I don’t know which picture is more tragic.

You are Iain Lee and I claim my five pounds.

>Re: “Still Ain’t No Place…” - I don’t know which picture is more tragic.

Well, on the one hand, none of the people on the left have achieved their life’s goal of working in broadcasting. On the other hand, all of the people on the left still like Red Dwarf. Swings and roundabouts, really.

50% of the people on the left also like golf.

The birthday banner.

*applauds*

Is that real? If so, more photos please!

I’m particularly proud of the meteor.

Heh. That cake started off rather cute in the first picture. Then it went downhill from there…. ;)

Just like Martha used to make.

Looking at the ship on that cake, I have a newfound respect for the CG pencil version.

Is that good or bad?

The one on the cake is shorter with only 1 meteor.

A rude cake, excellent. Thanks for the photos, Jo :)

> Just like Martha used to make.

Martha Jones? Probably was, she’s flippin everywhere in Sci Fi. I bet that’s where she ends up at the very end of Doctor Who. Wife of a ship captain in space, ironically Red Dwarf. Just to rub our faces in it. Blueberry Muffin and all…

A new banner has been added to the mix, see if you spot it…

Danny is very talented :)

Very nice!

Very nice indeed.

It made me go “ooh”.

True story.

F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 …. oooooooh! Nice.

Forgive me for being a complete and total tit, but which one is it?

the new one :)

We’re stumped. We can’t find it despite numerous F5s :-)

I think you should retire some of the old ones, and get a few more new ones to freshen things up. Not the Golf one, though. That needs to stay.

I’m planning on having a whole new batch of banners for the site, but they’re gonna take a while to complete. May need you guys to help me out on those, actually :D

I am literally erratic with excitement. :D

You spotted the new one yet?

I saw it! Good work Danny :o)

I’m sorry, I haven’t a clue. :(

Cor, dear oh dear!!

This one.

Thanks for posting Danny - looks great btw! - as we’ve had two F5 sessions and not seen it.

I just got it again! I am a lucky ducky :o)

as we’ve had two F5 sessions and not seen it.

I’m humbled by the fact that you guys mash the F5 button just to find it :)

Oh, that is splendid.

Thank you! Didn’t see it before, it looks awesome! Still hasn’t come up on mine yet though. If it does, don’t worry; I’ll keep you in the loop. :)

It just came up! I’m worried that I’ll never see it again if I post this comment… Nevertheless, I think it’s important that I do so.

Every time you load the page there’s a 1 in 49 chance you’ll see it. Or maybe slightly less as the calculations for the rare ones eat into that a little.

The science of banners, there.

If there hasn’t already been a book written on the subject, there’s a desperate gap in the book market that needs filling. I nominate you, JC.

Ohhhhh the plethora of swear words that Kiran uttered in the mission to find it….

As soon as it was posted in this thread, it came up at the top. Three times out of five. Like buses.

You know, you could just use the URL to get the banner.

http://www.ganymede.tv/images/headers/random/39.jpeg

I don’t know that stuff… I just do images…

Nice.

Ha! Perfect.

I like messing with the format once in a while. Keeps things interesting.

Think I need glasses….

Beautifully done.

The other format-breaker i’m rather proud of is the Garbage Pod one.

Everyone enjoying the new banners?

Love the ones from the new model pic! (: I saw on Twittier that Richard Naylor gave permission to use some of his tweet pics in banners, but I haven’t come across those banners yet, are they up?

Ha! Thanks for reminding me to check the Twitter feed. Now I have permission I’m gonna do some trawling :)

Loving the new headers, Danny. I think RDModelVid2’s my favourite. That really looks great.

All the banners have been updated. Some have changed, some have not.

Has anyone seen any images that warrant being banners for the site?

I think you should do one of the pencil design Red Dwarf….but photoshop it as long as you possible can make it…. Just a thumb nail in height and the full length of the banner….

?

Only other one that comes to mind is this, but it’s harder to use:

Good one for 1st April, maybe?

And I did one with gif dithering artefacts too… or is that too over the top?

I might have to make that my signature on TOS forum….

On second thoughts….

This?

I like that a lot more than I should…

Can we retire the Chloe FHM shot, if only because it looks slightly suspect when it pops up at work.

> it looks slightly suspect when it pops up at work.

Strap it to your thigh?

Amazing.

*doffs cap*

The old headers with the altered writing look great, especially the ‘interference’ one, that’s really well done.

However, to be nitpicky for a second, I think the ‘Dave’ one should’ve been left as it was, with the ‘flat’ writing - more inkeeping with the Dave style.

You’ve got a point, there. i went a bit mad with the old 3DSMAX…

It makes sense to keep the Dave banner in circulation but potentially update it to the new Dave style with the mansion house, suit of armour that kind of thing. I have a terribly short span of attention and a constant need to renew things.

They have the white Dave logo in a black circle, too. That pops up quite a lot. The comedy stuff/ ‘made by Dave’ stuff also features a shed. I think. Don’t watch as much on Dave as I used to. Suits and the odd QI or Frankie-era Mock The Week, that’s about it. :)

May tune in a bit more often in the autumn…

Why, what’s on?

New series of Jo Brand’s Big Splash, hopefully.

Why, what’s on?

Brand new old Have I Got News For You.
