24 Banner Competition (Ends 6/1/08)

Posted: May 29, 2008 6:57 pm

Since we merged with 24Fox, I think we need a new banner with 24Fox's name on it, since the name of this forum is now the 24Fox Forum.

Whoever makes the best new banner will get 250 Forum Cash! I posted this on a couple other art request forums, so it will have to be the best out of all the results I get. The competition ends this Sunday, June 1st, so if you're going to make the banner, make it before then.

Here are the specifications:

Type of Graphic: Banner

Alrighty, this is what I came up with. Not too original but I put my taste into it and tried to make it look like it has a glare to it. So I'll post your banner and mine to compare.

Mine:

Yours:

Wow, it looks great!

I'm gonna wait until Sunday to choose the banner, since I have 2 more coming from requests on other forums, but that is just amazing! Great work Mike, thanks!

*Edit: Not to be a critic or anything, but the only thing I don't like is how Jack's head is cut off at the top. Maybe you could just lower it down a little bit, so as to have his whole face in it, and post that too? Thanks Very Happy

I know what you're saying, but it's too late now, and I didn't like that at first, but if I wanted his whole head and shoulders on there he would be tiny. That's why I made him that big so that I could put his shoulders on.

I never knew Americans write it a specific way.

Posted: May 31, 2008 5:53 am

LMAO I kinda guessed that Wink

If anyone wants to make a banner, make sure you do it before tomorrow!

Posted: May 31, 2008 11:15 am

It might just be The English

Posted: May 31, 2008 1:11 pm

Yeah in the states we write our dates like this 4/31, with the month number first then the date. In Europe you guys write it like 31/4. Right?

Posted: Jun 01, 2008 12:15 am

We write the date then the month.

So 31/6/08.

Slade aren't you a graphics artist? You should make a banner.

Posted: Jun 01, 2008 12:42 am

I thought about it but I'm quite lazy. Razz

And I'm no good at banners.

Posted: Jun 01, 2008 10:14 am

I saw one of the banners DSi requested from another forum, and it came out pretty nice.

Posted: Jun 01, 2008 10:40 am

Here are all the banners I got:

I think Mike's (the 1st one) is the best. What does everyone else think?

Posted: Jun 01, 2008 10:43 am

I think the second one is kind of plain, and the third one doesn't really match the forums. So I'd have to go with mine, not to be biest or anything.

Posted: Jun 01, 2008 9:18 pm

Probably the first. I didn't mind the one we already had though.

Posted: Jun 02, 2008 4:18 pm

Yeah neither did I, but since the merge we had to have a new one.

Posted: Jun 02, 2008 4:58 pm

The 1st one was my favorite (obviously Very Happy

). The 3rd one was very close, but I don't like the "I am a sworn federal agent. You just confesse to a federal crime." bit on the 2nd, it kind of ruins the whole banner.

Posted: Jun 02, 2008 5:06 pm

Yeah that whole line ruined it completely. The third one is real nice, but I don't think it went with the whole template.

Posted: Jun 02, 2008 5:54 pm

hmmmm, where's Kim when you need her....????

I know that it's too late now, But it would have been nice to see some of her work here. Sad

Posted: Jun 02, 2008 6:18 pm

She can still make something, and I'll put it up for a vote if I like it Very Happy
