Banner Contest Options

[Inferno]

I was looking around the site when I thought about banners. You know, advertising and all. I don't know if we have any or anything, maybe we do. But, I thought that maybe people who design pictures and stuff could have a contest. A someone could judge and maybe the top have like a top 5 or something. On top of that, we could use the banners in our sigs on other sites in order to promote this site. What do y'all think?

thats nice but it could give people the wrong impression of the site, considering it takes a second to look at to figure out it is a curren. I honestly thought you just slapped in a pic of a silvia.

After getting distracted for a couple hours, I finished up a design for my banner. Here it is, in standard size(468x60 pixels) in non-animated GIF file format.

1. This one is my favorite. It is the largest of the four banners, weighing in at 13,048 bytes.


2. This is a variation of the first one, this time with the cars in grayscale. This banner is 11,289 bytes.


3. This is another banner with grayscale cars, this time with no slight projector lights background. This one is the smallest of them all at 8,373 bytes.


4. This is another banner with the cars in blue, and once again with no background. This one is 10,484 bytes.


Lemme know what you guys think, and let me know which is your favorite. If you've got any suggestions or ideas, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

These pics are not in a permanent location, so if you're going to use them, please save them to your computer and upload them, rather than referencing them from these image locations, because if you do that, they won't work in the future. Once we decide on some final banner designs, I will put them in a dedicated, permanent location and post locations of the images on the site.

I like the first two just fine. While the blue is my favorite of the two, the second one with greyscaled Celicas might match any future site design.

I made one, but I gotta wait for my hosting site to start working good again.

Coomer, my two cents may not count as much for being new to the site, but I vote for the second banner. The "6G Celicas" stands out more and cars in grayscale gives the title a better frame and makes it easier on the eyes. With the slight projector lights in the background it gives it a nice flow/connection from left to the right of the banner.

With the first banner, you loose the title abit - too much blue.

I agree, the first one is too blue. The second one is better because it makes the title stand out better.

Three and four look boring, nothing in the background.
