A new forum Banner?

Post by **psi29a** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 3:52 am

Don't freak out, I've uploaded a banner that Laik has made to see what it looks like. What do you guys think?

Laik and I want to hold a poll (contest really). Make a lot of banners, and then vote on them.

If we like all of 'em, then perhaps I can rotate 1 per day. Anywho it is up in the air right now however, feedback from you all would be great.

Hell, if you think you can come up with a better banner, submit it!

Try to keep the same size ratio, 80 in height, 800 in width.

I agree that a poll would be nice to have, and I would also love to see the banners that you guys could make.

Agreed, this could get pretty interesting.

I can't remember what the old one looked like for some reason, but this one feels much cleaner.

I contest could be nice for the site too.

I'm all for it.

Not bad.

The old banner was Skull Knight and it was kind of green. Remember? It had Evil Genius on it.

I think it be a good idea to have a couple really nice banners and have them like rotate diffrent to diffrent onez.

Post by **Starnum** » Thu Feb 16, 2006 7:39 am

Yeah, I like that idea as well. We could vote on our favorite few and then rotate them every now and then.

i got into a mood to make a banner too... though I think i could use a better font.

What do you all think?

I mean like, every time you vist the forum it would be a random banner each time.

Post by **Quest** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 7:54 am

guess which manga i got this from?

changed the color tone:

Post by **psi29a** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 1:14 pm

Quest, I like them... but any way you can get them to match the forum. I want it to flow with the forum, not detract from it.

BTW, anyone have any wicked fonts I could use instead of the carboncopy one I used.

Well I can't randomize it to much. I'm thinking we pick the top 7, and rotate one per day (1-7), or top 4, one per week.

Or if there is one specifically we all like clearly above the rest, then that becomes are defacto banner.

Remember, try to keep standard to the forum layout and colors.

psi29a,

i know i am grasping at straws with my banners.
if you could tell us what kind of fonts, what specific colour scheme or what kind of pictures you want, then i could bring the banners closer to what you want.

you have to define the 'feel'.

=)

look around you, more specifically at the forum. What feels right, what flows with the forum and doesn't look out of place.

the one i made isn't top quality... that is why we want to evolve this and get everyone contributing. We pick those that match this forum's 'attitude'.

pretty ambiguous.
but i catch your drift.

Heh, the way Psi worded that sounded a little bad, but I think he was referring to the color scheme of the board, hopefully. Those are still some cool banners you guys made. However, I'd like to see a new Berserk one maybe as well. The one we have now is okay, but I liked the older one better. Mainly because you can't really make out the face in this one, because there's a blade in the way. Sometimes that works, but not in this case. The color definitely fits though. Then having other banners we could swap out, from other manga would be cool. The One Piece idea is good, just got to get the colors right. There's also other staples like Naruto, Bleach, Ippo, etc. I look forward to what the MW community can come up with, good luck guys.

I was hoping to stick to the ones that EG scanlates... but i'm willing to go along so long as it fits in nice with the rest of the forum.

Thats not a blade, its an arm, more specifically her arm.

Fair enough.

Oh, okay, well it still amounts to the same thing.

Hey Psi, what is the font used in your sig? I like it. Is it some kind of "blood-dripping" font or you just superimposed mindwers with an element of the background?

Post by **psi29a** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 5:45 pm

I used a font, then used photoshop wizardry to rotate and had it bulge a bit in the center. I'll look around the font when I get home.

Post by **Albator** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 5:52 pm

Take your time, no rush here...but yeah thanks, I really like that font. I got some similar things but nothing close to this sexyness.

anyone else have any banners?
