I like how the fading has been done on the edges, how is this achieved?

Roger, you probably done the graphics, any ideas?

Photoshop it? With a gradient possibly? Seems you could make a similar effect. Just put a red color fading into transparency, then make a boundary box where you wish to put it.

Of course, the site I believe generates the image possibly, or something like that. I'm not quite sure as I'm not an admin so I can't go into the Panel and just change around schemes as I wish... I'm just a normal staffy.

Nothing more than PSP7 with its built in gradients.

Take the image, apply a new layer.

Select 'background' gradient fill (something like that), adjust fill so that its angle is 0 and shorten the gradient to about 10% of the area.

Apply the fill.

Add new 2 new layers, apply the same gradient to both, one at an angle of 270 and the other at 315.

Guassian Blur the 3 fill layers to ensure they're nicely blended.

Voila.

Cant say exactly as I dont have PSP here at work and its been a few months since I last did one of these images.

The integration of the logo within the template itself and the rest of the template images is all done via PHP.

Cheers Roger, just been curious for quite a while about how to pull that effect off.

That seems like a lot of stuff to do.
