Banner Comp $100 up for grabs.

Ekka · 25th January 2007, 05:46 AM

Yep, that's no BS.

Go to work and build something .... suitable, then we'll look at them all and have a vote on which is best. The winner scores $100 (Aussie)

Now, just some rules on the banner.

1. Width 750px

2. Must be gif or jpg (no flash)

3. And preferably low file size ... under 100kb would be good.

Hopefully it has the sites name on it and goes with the theme. Oh, all submissions for go their right to copyright, for obvious reasons.

Well, we have had an anonymous entrant who submitted 3 banners and I chose this one ... I tinted it blue to match the board and I like it.

How about you guys?

MrsEkka · 1st February 2007, 12:34 AM

Very nice. I like it. Thanks mr mystery man for your effort,lol. It looks great.

a_lopa · 1st February 2007, 01:33 AM

Look great thanks for the effort!

Krowdon · 1st February 2007, 02:16 AM

I noticed you like the color blue...

Krowdon · 1st February 2007, 02:28 AM

Took this picture myself when living in Texas...

a_lopa · 1st February 2007, 02:28 AM

Wow there pretty good!

Krowdon · 1st February 2007, 02:40 AM

Okay.. I'm obsessed now... I'll quit

Krowdon · 1st February 2007, 02:51 AM

Okay, this wasn't entirely my fault... there's bound to be someone we can blame...

a_lopa · 1st February 2007, 02:53 AM

Thats a nice banner

I like the first blue one the best.

Don't get me wrong but the rest are good however .... sort of "expected", I like the imaginative ones.

With the blue one the only neg I got is it's height. Is it possible to lose the url and narrow it up a bit? About 160px high is a good fit.

Don't know how you made it so let me know if it's too much trouble.

We need some opinions here, I like the blues and the earthy look of this site, a good contrast yet easy on the eye and not the typical green you'd expect or the drab blue out of the box Vbulletin comes in.

Here's my botch up of it, and this one is down to 31kb which means fast to load up for visitors.

Ekka · 1st February 2007, 03:15 AM

Take a good look at the page and banner we got now, in a few minutes yours will be there, we'll compare a few overall looks.

a_lopa · 1st February 2007, 03:17 AM

Thblue with lightning is catchy! Like a mick dundee sunset in the top end of aus!

Ekka · 1st February 2007, 03:22 AM

Hey lopa

does that tree and it's shadow just to the left of the letter "T" look like a lop job to you?

Looks like eh, we'll get people hassle us for that.

a_lopa · 1st February 2007, 03:25 AM

Yeah unforunantly it does,like the format but the tree looks heavily pruned not a real good pic.sorry Krowdon!

The rest of its great

Ekka · 1st February 2007, 03:28 AM

The rest of it ... all of it except we're gonna cop it if that tree's a resprouted lop job!

It was a creepy looking tree too which means Troll World to some. lol

I'll fetch the blue #code I'm using for colour top bar so you can match. Back in a minute, gotta go Admin to get it.
