New website banner images - you can help

It's time to refresh the look of our website!


All our banners and hub photos are EIGHT years old! They have the old equipment, old liveries, and were made using FS-2004 and FS9.

I would like to see some new banners and photos with current AA equipment, the new livery, and the high quality rendering that modern versions of FS-X, X-Plane, and PV3D can create. I'm thinking screenshot contest quality or better. Retro equipment and liveries are OK too, but I would like to see higher quality images than what we have now.

Banner images should be exactly 1,000 x 120 pixels. Hub page photos should be 500 x 500 pixels max, but can be smaller and have any aspect ratio.

Please post your images in replies to this thread. I will apply the "American Airlines Virtual" text to your photo prior to use as a banner image. Please use Irfanview or a similar high quality image editor to re-size your images in order to maintain high quality. Using Paint or other tools that come stock with Windows will introduce lots of aliasing (jagged lines).

All high quality banner images will be used.

If we get multiple hub photo submissions, I will let the hub managers pick the one to grace their page.

Thanks for your help eveyone!

I scraped together a few banner images. I don't have any decent scenery for CLT but I'll see what I can come up with for the other hubs later this weekend.

Bert,

These are fabulous. I'm away next week, so it might be 2 weeks before they show up on the website.

Everyone else - go ahead and pitch in, there are lots of opportunities still.

I agree. These new banners are really giving our website a facelift. I'll see if I can come up with any to contribute.
