Result: The wiki background has been updated, and the header/footer colors have been made blue.
I've got alot of time in my hand these days. Once again, I'm on with changing the look of the wiki. It's not that I was bored of the previous look. I just didn't have that much time those days. It's my fault I just jumped in, I apologize for that.

But this time we'll be doing this nice and slow, alright? This time we'll make something everyone can agree on, so we'll have to think carefully. I want to decide a look we can keep for years to come. Because I've also heard that some users didn't like the older look. If you don't like any suggestion in this forum don't be afraid to say it.

This discussion isn't only about the wallpaper, but anything regarding the look in general. From templates to headers to the chat system. Just say it out. After this discussion, I don't want to hear a "I didn't even like the look". Your chance is right here.

And I promise I won't change the look atleast for a year after this discussion!--SlugDrones • (Contact) 07:28, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

Background

Looks great and far better than the previous. However the only issue I have with your backgrounds is the, it's resolution it's too small, even though there are file size problems. Many people have different resolution screens, with a small resolution (800 x 600 or 1280 x 960 ones) the background will have too much white spacing and with a large one (like 1366 x 768 or much more) the background will hide most of the Sonics. Maybe you can fit it to one type of background in one consistency for most resolutions. --Quack 08:40, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

I like it.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 11:59, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

Disco - This is the standard size.--SlugDrones • (Contact) 15:03, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

Can the header be navy blue? Looks much better than this red, IMO. GraveEclipse567 17:44, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

I like the background... Per Spyro on the header. MintsyWinterBlue (talk) (contributions) 19:02, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

I'm guessing the header is red because it's a reference to Sonic's shoes. I personally believe it's a much unique choice of color instead of having everything be blue. As for the new look as a whole, I like it very much. It's a lot more "Sonic-y" and a much brighter atmosphere which makes the wiki appear more friendly and less dark than before. But I liked the previous theme too.   ★EYCEST★R★    ★Contact★ 20:50, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

So far, I like it much better than any previous look I've ever seen. Per Eyce on the bright/dark thing, I think it makes the wiki much more appealing and attractive. I also like where we've put the red this time around, instead of as the background. PhysAnimation PhysTheEchidna (talk) PhysTheEchidnaSprite 21:06, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

I like it, in fact I was the one who first gave an opinion on it last night. User:SplashTheHedgehog/Signature3 21:08, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to keep the header red, but the background is fine as it is. SilverPlays97 (Wall) (Contributions) 21:14, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

I'd prefer a navy header/footer. --Bullet Francisco (talk) Contributions Editcount 22:26, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

^This. BlueSpeeder (talk) 22:28, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

The new background looks great, per DF. I personally prefer the red header, but I wouldn't mind a navy header. The Fresh Prince of Grooseland 25 June 2013 22:43 (UTC)

I would rather have a navy header. Per Bullet. ---~Flare | Talk Page 03:08, June 26, 2013 (UTC)

We'll be using the ribbon color with the most votes. Pink compliments too well.

You can suggest a color that it isn't the gallery too. Vote away!--SlugDrones • (Contact) 09:47, June 26, 2013 (UTC) Cool background. I am Mystic Orb, the overlord of all! (talk page) 11:30, June 26, 2013 (UTC)

Silver looks pretty interesting. I'm in favor of that, red, or blue.   ★EYCEST★R★    ★Contact★ 17:16, June 26, 2013 (UTC)

@Drones: Well about the resolution:

--Quack 18:13, June 26, 2013 (UTC)

This doesn't look too bad. However, I will personally expand the background (just by adding more squares to the ends) because it's too small for my screen. -- Shadowunleashed13 (talk) 18:43, June 26, 2013 (UTC)

I told Drones that but she wouldn't listen. Half of the Sonic on the right covers in 1336 x 768 resolution. --Quack 04:45, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

I still prefer the blue header, and it seems that most others agree with me. Pink is horrendous and I would cry if it were to be used. --Bullet Francisco (talk) Contributions Editcount 04:58, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

Disco and ShU - I'll try fixing that.

Bullet - It's a Sonic wiki, pink would be irrelevant. Though, it is, however a complimentary color to light blue. I personally think it looks nice.--SlugDrones • (Contact) 05:37, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

I still like blue best. Red is fine, too. --Bullet Francisco (talk) Contributions Editcount 11:14, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

I haven't noticed anything because I am a MonoBook Wikian. It's nice that SNN hasn't deleted it's MonoBook skin. I noticed some other Wiki's given up on it and just just the new look. Of course it would of been nice in during that Wikia Halloween competition we were rated on the MonoBook skin I made.--Mystic Monkey SNN Administrator in active since 2009. 💬 📚 📝 14:10, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

Gold looks nice to me. It reminds me of the golden rings that you pick up in most Sonic games. The blue looks rather plain to me though, so I'm not gonna cast any favorable opinions towards that. Lloyd the Cat"I don't die. I just go on adventures." 21:08, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

In order of my preference: Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Pink. -- Supermorff (talk) 21:25, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

The only problem I have with using red is that it looks a bit weird with our logo (at least in my opinion). I think blue would compliment it better. --Bullet Francisco (talk) Contributions Editcount 06:47, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

Gold, silver, and pink don't seem to fit the wiki. Blue is amazing, and red is okay. -- Shadowunleashed13 (talk) 19:49, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

My personal preference would have to be the gold colour. My second choice would have to be the red. --Psyche the Hedgehog 10:18, June 30, 2013 (UTC)

I find red being slightly okay, granted shading does feel too dark on it. I do like blue as better choice. - MarioSonic (talk) 10:47, June 30, 2013 (UTC)

I like the Red. Blue would be my second choice. SilverPlays97 (Wall) (Contributions) 11:20, June 30, 2013 (UTC)

It's a bit difficult to interpret whether we want to use red or blue for the header and footer, so I'll start up a voting section.

It's clear that blue is going to pass with flying colors. (The pun was intended.) So I'm voting blue. It does seem to fit the wiki most of all anyway. THE REFLEX dancing on the valentine 16:39, July 1, 2013 (UTC)

What about the actual background? Has the resolution problem been fixed yet? -- Shadowunleashed13 (talk) 22:14, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

I know its getting a bit old but I need to be sure which games do the Sonics come from. Is the one on the left from Sonic 4 Episode 1 and the one on the right from Sonic Jump?--Mystic Orb: Who do you think I am? What do you want? What do I do? 03:03, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Do you want the color for the header and footer to be red or blue?

Red

Blue
