Skyscraper City (picture at top of page)

FLD · March 13th, 2006, 04:18 PM

Who selects the picture at the top of the page each day on Skyscraper City forums? Has an image of Birmingham ever appeared? If not, how do we go about getting an image of Birmingham to be used??

Bachy Soletanche · March 13th, 2006, 04:28 PM

Yes, theres has been one. Wasn't a skyline...

I think I put it on the Offical Birmingham Thread 11 or possibly 10.

What image best reflects Birmingham in 2006? The image used at the top is a great advertisement for a city, should we have a mini competition to select the best image of Birmingham to promote the city around the cyber world?

there's been at least 5 brum banners i think, i did a couple of skyline ones and fusionist did a excellent green hued one! some others have chipped in with some montage banners as well, i think out of all uk cities we ve probably had the most up there! there used to be a brum banner thread, but i think we lost it! i cant remember the link for putting them up there now ? anyone?

This was my picture/ banner which was on the top of the forum last year.

FLD · March 14th, 2006, 02:57 PM

That's a good one Brummie.

blueboy · March 14th, 2006, 02:57 PM

yeah, i remember that one, any body got any others? , i ll dig mine out later

FLD · March 14th, 2006, 03:31 PM

Could someone submit a revised picture, or should we wait until the scaffolding & plastic sheeting come off the Orion Building??!!

Bachy Soletanche · March 14th, 2006, 03:49 PM

And they've cleaned the City Center Tower..

Built Arena Central... (ar-de-ar-ar)

FLD · March 14th, 2006, 04:26 PM

Are they going to spruce up Centre City Tower?

Bachy Soletanche · March 14th, 2006, 05:09 PM

Apparently.

Havn't they started yet?

March 14th, 2006, 05:39 PM

This should have been used as a future Brum banner... only problem is the building is so unbelievably tall it has to be shown lying on its side...

Bachy Soletanche · March 14th, 2006, 05:48 PM

Don't like the design. Why, oh why do we always get the second rate?

FLD · March 15th, 2006, 04:11 PM

Centre City Tower still looks pretty dirty, don't think it has had a clean up yet. From a distance, this building doesn't look that impressive, but when you stand underneath it, it seems huge. It is one of the more under-rated buildings in the city centre, if it had a clean up, and perhaps change the glazing, it could look quite smart.

I really like this building even thou it is a big dirty bastard. I may be doing some work in here in the near future so I'll get some shots. Warm yourself on a CCT sunset
