Skins/Header Images

[Cat]

Also, having random character profile images as a very faint bg in posts like TZ would be pretty boss.

Example: http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=88109

Take a look at the BG on peoples' posts. You can see a transparent, almost invisible image of a random character as the BG.

Other optional color themes (Character based color schemes) would be nice, too. Maybe a Siegfried or Nightmare color scheme as the default and have others selectable from User CP or the Home Page.

Scroll down and check the right side for some theme selection examples.

I like those aspects of TZ's forums too though I can't stand the default theme.

I think a symbol would be nice.

We could draw some inspiration from this:

Theme based, the pentagram might be replaced with the eye of Sole Edge or the crystal orb thingy of Soul Calibur. The arrows could also be made to resemble features of the swords.

Also, I think, that Yoda/Vader/Apprentice shouldn't be used in any designs. Might spare us some unwanted attention from LucasArts' attorneys.

I still say we should go back to the black/gold theme.

I concur. 8WR should have a new theme that differentiates it from CF.com, but this general style is a good idea IMHO...
