Just a note[edit]

If Brisbane ever gets districts, just a note to future editors that the color for Moreton Island on the static map will need to be changed. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 08:00, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

There are two things iconic to Brisbane: the Brisbane River and the Story Bridge. Since the current only shows the river, I tried to crop two new banners of Story Bridge, though the latter doesn't depict the river. Out of the three, my favourite is 1, followed by 2 and then 0. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 08:09, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Banner 0
Banner 1
Banner 2
  • I like Banner 0 best. I don't like the tops of everything being cropped out in Banner 1 and I don't like the tilt in Banner 2. Take that for what it's worth, as I haven't visited Australia. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:52, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Is it just on my screen, or does banner 0 come out a bit blurry? (which is also why I proposed to change the banner) SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 10:49, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's not just you, but I don't like the crops in the others or the slanted part of the bridge in Banner 2 and prefer the composition of Banner 0. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:17, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Banner 3
Here's another banner. The main downside to this is the photo was taken in 1995 and although I wasn't alive in 1995, Brisbane has transformed a lot within the last two and a half decades, especially within the last few years becoming a more popular alternative to Sydney or Melbourne. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 13:25, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's a better banner than Banner 0, but if it's inaccurate, we shouldn't use it, right? Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:26, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For me, Banner 3 looks oddly dated with a sort of a Technicolor feel. Twsabin (talk) 21:14, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly why I favor 1 and 2 over the two others. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 08:00, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
