Thanks, Mag.

I'll definitely take you up on that if I run into troubles.

I didn't come up with much when googling this effect, but I think it's gonna require a (moving) layer mask....something I've never used without a specific tutorial telling me to. :)

So, ya, it's gonna be SLIGHTLY animated, but not in a distracting way.

I haven't done any animation in a while, but moving a layer around is pretty simple if you do it in imageready iirc.

Color Palette. Has all the main colors of the forum on it.

Nice Mag, thanks. Oh, and... I didn't see this before, sorry:

I actually like this a lot. I'd like to make a few suggestions though, if I can.

Make the "Reviving" white, 1px stroke in the forums orange color (#cc6606)
Make the heart monitor and top straight line orange.
1px stroke around the entire thing. (Just like I did on the color palette above, or my sig below. In photoshop, Ctrl+A, Edit -> Stroke) This really just makes the entire image pop off the page a little. I recommend this step to anyone.
Reverse the mines on the left side, so the mines on the right/left are pointing cross ways.

^I think those would make that banner look extremely masterful.
