Mascot Banner question (OP updated 7/16/11)

While this issue has not affected me for quite some time, it's still some what annoying. In the interest of making this as easy as possible to implement a fix I made this:

It's just a widened version of the current one, and logically it should be easily possible to replace the existing one in the SH database with this one. (I'm okay with not being credited as well. After all, cinder did most of the work, I just edited his.)

The old OP:

All I want to know is why it isn't 135 pixels wide, and if we could get one that is.

I am not questioning the color scheme, name, candy type, or whatever you guys seem to think I'm talking about.

Just wondering, but why is the Mascot banner the only one without shields on either side?

It bothers me a bit, because it's not as wide as my avatar. (a little bit OCD?) I'm just curious as to why it isn't as wide as the, say, "Guitar God" banner.

(Also, I seached SH through google for "Mascot Banner Width" and "Mascot Width" and got nothing relevant, so I have no clue if this has already been discussed)

I always wondered this too and it does kind of piss me off that it's not the same length as our max avatar width. It would be nice to either make the banner longer or add those shield things to each side like the other banners.

I think it's kind of cool... I mean with mascot it basically means in the forum ranks you are almost there to freebird, and thus removing what you guys are calling the shield kind of like a cacoon or whatever then it finally shapes into a butterfinger and thats where the free bird banner comes from because thats how it is.

Crap, now that this has been brought up, it's going to bother me to no end.

*supports adding shields to it/making it longer/centering it*

Edit: That was very poetic outside of the butterfinger advertisement, Mushy.

True, although the mascot banner has all the pretty colours of the rainbow, what's not to like about that! It's clearly the greatest banner out there.

I wouldn't mind seeing the banner bigger, but also as you move from Rocker up, the designs kind of flow and make sense until you get to Mascot, which goes into a complete random direction with the rainbow pattern

I have always wondered this also, Hopefully JCirri or another long time mod can answer. But I think what Mushy said is right, saying that it's one step closer to Free Bird, saying you are Free. So I guess "Mascot" is getting you a little taste of freedom. no.

Also, everyone who posted here is a mascot. I find that funny. I ruined the streak.

Back in the day when I joined, Mid 06( I feel old), there were like 4 mascots that I can remember, ES, Pope, Genga and SThorpe, and there mascot banners really stuck out due to its rainbow color. So it was supposed to deliver the impression that "hey. these people have been around awhile, and frequent Scorehero, they know what is going on" They were the "Mascot" of scorehero.

I'm not saying that it needs shields, I'm saying that it should be 135 pixels wide, just like all the others above Shredder. It could simply be remade with the same gradient, name, etc., only this time at a width of 135.

Maybe we should leave it be.
