Hi Paul, thanks for the comment – there are always choices to be made. The previous layout fixed the width of the text area at a certain number of pixels. This is now scalable/flexible, but it also means that there is a problem if you make the windows too narrow.

Hi Omar – the feedback is appreciated.

Those appear to be limited edition Colleen pencils that showed various wood types…

I like the old look better, it was more.. casual and inviting. But that is my opinion

well, another contest I didn’t win – but I was this close ;)
Thanks Penciladmin.

Thanks. The contest is over with no winner. The first banner showed the Faber-Castell Grip 2001 pencil. The second banner showed half-gross boxes of vintage pencils. This was before the domain name was registered. We've had three previous contests, all quickly ended, so I wanted to choose a challenging question - but this may have been a bit too challenging. Banners one, two, and three:

Images you post on the new layout (pencils, etc) push out into the right hand column and get overlapped by the text/links there. For example, on this page the silver part of the white pencil holder is overlapped with Bleistifte.

Drew, Ito-ya (Tokyo) sells these extenders.

Greystoke, no problem, and I realize that “banner” is a bit of a jargon term.

Patrick, also a good guess, but no.

I would have guessed the same as Luke. What about Rhodia pencils?

Sorry, I misinterpreted the word “banner” :)

I have no response to the question, but was wondering, where can I buy an Ito-ya pencil extender like the one pictured?

Henrik, thank you, but no.

Greystoke, interesting, but that hasn’t been a banner photo either.

Donnie, one guess would be preferred. I do like the look of the Leonardo pencil, but it wasn’t in the banner.
