The forum team here at andymurrayfanforum.com have been trying to come up with ways to customise the forum style so that it gives the place a more tennis-y feel. One of the ways we thought about doing this was to change the icons you see on the main forum page. We've come up with a couple of options, and we thought this would be a great opportunity to open the decision up to the members, and ask you to vote for your favourite.

We're looking to replace these icons:

with either the tennis racquet or tennis ball icons:

Tennis racquet:

Tennis ball:

Here are the two options as they would look like on the forum home page (click on the thumbnails to see the images full size - you should then be able to flick between the two options using the "last" and "next" buttons):

We're running the poll for 3 days, so get your vote in!

I actually prefer the balls so that means the racquets will win. :lol:

Can't we have both in some capacity or other. What a great idea, anyway.

We wanted a consistent look to the site, so it can only be one or the other I'm afraid.

I thought the tennis racquet looked more distinctive, so I voted for that.

The racquets look better for me. More indicative of the sport. Good idea. Hope the racquets get the vote. Go racquets!!!!!! :)

The racquets are ahead by a couple of lengths at the moment, but there's still time for the tennis balls to catch up and give us a photo finish.

You're right - it does a bit. Wish I could say that was intentional...

This is the most exciting thing that will occur in my life over the next two days.

I wish I were joking, but I'm being deadly serious.
