Tony,
we have modified our Blackboard quite heavily.
we've got 14 different colleges, hence we've got 14 different brandings.
here's what some of them look like:

Bb 9.0 examples

Hello all,
The institution for whom I work specialises in visual arts and design and consequently the look and feel of the VLE is a significant determinant in student and staff engagement. Although we have gone to (what we believe to be) considerable lengths to modify the appearance of our Blackboard environment, the university's new Academic Management is requesting further modification to bring the VLE in line with a newly-designed institutional website.
Therefore my question is this: has anyone extensively modified the appearance of their Blackboard environment, and if so would you be prepared to share images to show what is possible? The following link displays a screenshot of our current Home page:

We are currently running 9.0.447 and upgrading to 9.1 over the summer.
Many thanks,
Tony Reeves, Academic Developer (Learning Technology), University for the Creative Arts
