A banner

I would animate it to appear glowing. I would do it myself, but I have way to much crap on my hands to do it.

here is a 5 second quickie with a slight marble and an outer bevel, just to show you a simple form of getting the name to stand out from the rest

this was just a couple of clicks worth, you can do much to your banner Wink

doh, guess I could post the pic

Crop Black Bars off (unecessary)
needs something added to much blank space I suggest your clan tag (-=|CT|=-)
background = boring Given background can't stand out to much or it will draw focus from other things, it still can have some texture/gradient to it personally I suggest a fade from black to light grey left black fading to right. This helps draw the eye from left to right along with the fade, name and picture.

It would also be hot if firefox made the text glow green: meh scratch that, you don't want to many people staring at your banner, or it will draw away from your actual website and will get tacky/ annoying after awhile.[/code]

What I would do in your situation:

Before:

After:

Changes include:

-Cropping for smaller size of overall image
-Various changes to hue and saturation levels/brightness/contrast have been changed
-Re-imported render of the login portal and placed/sized it differently within the picture
-Changed size and brightness of the shield with the crossed axes in front of it (drew the eye too much before)
-Extended/blended some textures/colors in various places
-Made my own text with colors more related to the scheme (not sure if I totally like them
-Other minor changes

The big thing I noiticed is that you left the whole massive serpent thing that's in the portal out of your design... why would you do that if with your clan name being what it is?

Anyhoo, you're welcome to reproduce or just flat out use the changes I made.

No, I like how that looks better.

Also, I had to block out one of the heads of the state you put in the middle of the pic because I didn't feel like replicating the texture beneath it.
