Progarchives.com banner - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Option "B" seems to me to represent better. It has more life and it is always nice to see many of the icons that are part of the whole concept of the progressive genre.

Hi,

The guy that did these, had a whole bunch of these pieces of art, and all of them were far out ... it was nice that PA has taken up the one done for them ... and as mentioned above, it helps you learn more about the music, as did some of the far out posters that the guy put together.

He used to post here a while back, and I forgot his name ... but it was really beautiful work, and very artistic, rather than the plain crap stuff used otherwise which does not state much about the music at all ... and one last thing ... the music HAS COLOR ... the first banner doesn't, like the 2nd one.

I would rather have music that has fantastic color associated with "progressive", not a "modern" meaningless banner, that might look cool, but it has nothing to do with the music itself. This is about the art ... not the banner, and the B sample, gives you the art and where it came from ... and you can't ask for more in terms of hints and ideas of what to listen to.

In fact, we should give that "homework" to any newbies asking what they should listen to ... tell to go after the B Banner details ... way better than some comments many of us make, not to mention more fun, and colorful!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Banner B is more eye-catching

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

The B or not the B; if that is the question, I'd say the B.

What's the history behind these banners? Who created them? and when?

I know the current banner was done by a guy named darkshadeof I believe. If you go to the homepage here and click on "About Us" at the top and scroll down you'll see some of his other collages. I actually bought the RUSH one from him but have never framed it, still have it though.

I remember. His alias is darksideof. There was another forum member active quite a few years ago who was known as darkshade.

Banner A was there before I signed up, I think. Banner B (my favourite of these two) was created in 2009 or so, I think.

Update: The banner was announced by M@X in October 2010.

thank you! prog brother!!! I remember YES!!!
My name is Abel Adames ( darksideof)

I remember I left the chat because I was getting to many negative comments. I created many other collages but then I got tired and I spent countless of hours for no profit, it was just for fun!!! but I am an old man and I have to support my family!! but one day I might return to create more collages. I was trying to created a collage of the greatest prog keyboards players but that was few years ago!!!
