Caleb279 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm loving this. Can we make more than one submission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seixas Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Absolutely, no limit on submission, but I'd say focus on quality over quantity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Hello I'll whip a 'lil something up tonight. That said, it would be nice to see the forums, so i can see what colour scheme to go for and to possibly look at an appropriate banner size. EDIT: yes, i did read the OP properly, just wouldn't mind a bit more detail :s Edited July 21, 2010 by Banksy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innerspeaker Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I kind of want a size limitation/target to shoot for. It's really difficult for me to simply create something out of the blue for somebody without any recommendations and preferences, but I'll whip something up just the same.

Alfred von Tirpitz Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 850 x 150? Looking forward to submissions. I hope they are posted for the public to see too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azkar Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 The logo we're currently using is 800x87. It could probably go a [i]little[/i] wider, but any taller and it won't fit in our current skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will put something up tomorrow, maybe two if I feel cool enough Do you guys have a motto, and would that be extra brownie points for putting it in the banner?

Since your background is greyish, i kept a white font with a shade effect to have a clearer view on the letter (and yeah, on the background of this forum, the second line may not be clear but it is on a darker one). I kept the 2 elements of your flag (a star above the "i" and the sun behind the shield). I also took the motto (and in french, the true original language of Pottier)... I like the general aspect of the banner but if you have more (or less) details you want to be worked, let me know.
