Nature Network bloggers can personalise their blogs by adding banner images. We’ve seen some very creative examples, especially given the somewhat challenging proportions of the space. High time, we think, for a roundup of all the customised blog headers so far (apologies in advance if we’ve missed someone – shout below and we’ll add you in). If you have a Nature Network blog and want to customise your own header, see here for instructions.

So here we go with the banners, arranged playfully in some kind of vaguely chromatic order. Got a favourite?

Click any of the banners to see them in their natural environments.

Nicolau’s banner uses the default Nature blogs background colour, fading in a subtle fractal pattern (a Sierpinski triangle).

Eva’s banner cleverly riffs on the “Expression Patterns” title of her blog, and it’s also strikingly similar to the colours of West Ham United football club…

The blurred city lights leap out from M@’s London Blog.

Mike combines pastel shades with ‘phase portraits from a spatially structured model of lynx populations’. But you’d already worked that out.

Richard injects some cute into proceedings. Actually, as rodents go, this fellow’s not that cute, is he? Especially with that maze grafted on to his ear.

A pebbly beach heads up Anthony Fejes’ InSightu.

Linda Lin (alliteratively) loves littoral landscapes. (But does she sell sea shells on the sea shore?)

Not many gaps to mind in Jenny’s crowded lab bench.

If you read it backwards, that binary code spells out a hidden message. Maybe.

A reflective scene greets visitors to Connotea blog.

The Workbench blog sports an octet of widgets.

(Diffr)action man Stephen Curry offers the muted beauty of reciprocal space.

And finally, Barbara Ferreira combines coffee and the cosmos…surely some kind of ‘milky’ way gag in there somewhere.

So, which one is your favourite…and why?

Oh, and what can we use for the Of Schemes and Memes banner?
