I need some help
« on: December 08, 2021, 07:42:45 AM »
With 22 approaches we need a new button. I have been sick and I just don't have it in me to make one. Could someone make a 22 button showing support? Please post it here and we will choose the best one. Thanks

How about this?


   That has merit, if you rotate each number character so that it reads correctly vertically, like this:

Not as easy, but done.

No need to submit a "real" one.  That handle is perfect.  Only comment, the Yellow on Tan really washes out on my computer.  Maybe a border?

Ken, it has a border and bigger is overkill.  IMO  I can change it if that's what you guys want and see it.

Change the handle wood to darker mahogany and leave the yellow the way it is.

Experimenting.  Is this too small?  I had to make a whole new image.  I made the border bigger, but making the overall size is my issue now.  Is this right size?
Shows well on my computer.  Just a thought, last year Sparky just used "21".  What does it look like with just "22"?

The word, "Hangar", specifically relates to a shed or warehouse and became known as a place to store aircraft. The word "Hanger", refers to holding things up. As in coat.

I may be wrong but Stunthangar.com was originally spelt with the AR. I believe there was a system upgrade at some time and somehow it was changed to Stunthanger.com

So, Stunthangar.com is correct. It is just the search engines will always change it to Stunthanger.

Funny...

Never noticed before either. Seems the correct spelling is hangar referring to the building where airplanes are kept. No, the search engines don't keep changing it, look in your address bar in your browser. The domain is truly www.stunthanger.com for this forum. Going to www.stunthanger.com will yield a duplicate webpage of www.stunthangar.com. Both webpages contain a link button which directs to this Stunt Forum at www.stunthanger.com/smf/. Hover over this button and a small window will appear and show the destination in the lower left corner.

This is likely a mistake that occurred at some point and rather than waste a good website the other domain was purchased and rather than use a redirect, they put a mirror webpage with a link here. When I was running our shop we bought up many domains and used redirects to route to our home page. The former method is more expensive and that latter method can cause security warnings.

The airport had the city make new street sign for our airport and the people in the sign shop made our entrance Tee Hanger St. That went unnoticed for a fairly long time and it was pointed out to the management. It was eventually fixed to Tee Hangar St.

Here are a few simple offerings.

Brent,

Not all that bad.

IMHO, a small improvement would be to have the word "STUNT" at the top and "HANGER" at the bottom.

The outlined airplane could be a solid color placed below the word "STUNT."

2022 under the airplane.

I'd also play with the fonts a bit. Bold on the 2022.

You could eliminate the "field" color outside the circle and consider white instead of yellow.

Simple changes if you're up for this.

It is there and I don't have you on ignore, so you should see it.   I am posting a screen shot for you.
Interesting, on my computer that is reply #36.  Maybe that is why I get totally irrelevant comments when I search and there is a reference to the reply number.  L am going to try something.  Add a BS reply then delete it after it is not the first one and see if there is a gap.

Ken

Test is Done - The site DOES renumber replies if you delete one.  SO, all of the post that reference other posts by number in our archive are probably wrong now since someone deleted a whole bunch of replies.

Nice. However. I'd loose the ".com." This will allow the wording, stunt hangar, more room. Also, straight base line on all text. AND, change the color of the text.
