The banners up there currently are about two and a half years old (with a couple of one and a half year olds thrown in for good measure), so it'd be nice to have a revamp, perhaps. So, we could do it in a similar format to the one in 2003. We could host it in the Art and Graphics board, and then throw in a global announcement to attract attention to it. It'd start after April Fools', and the schedule would be something like this...
April 14th: Allow entries.
April 21st: Make a first poll, with all of the entries in it.
April 24th: First poll closes, the top 50% will go into a new poll.
April 27th: Second poll closes, top five from that will go onto the main page.
All polls would be multiple choice. Submissions would of course have to be of 264 x 107 pixels, and in .jpg, .gif or .png format. I already know of a couple of designers who would be willing to participate.
So, what are people's thoughts, and is Jesse up for adding a couple of new banners?
I like the idea of adding new banners. I'm all for it.
Two and a half years??? I've been here longer than I thought.......
Anywho, yeah, new banners could be good.
Yeah sure, I'm all for it and I'll of course enter as many as I can. We can do more than one, right?
Sure.
Sweet. But do the dimensions have to be exact? C'mon, give me some space to work with :mad:
Yeah; otherwise we'll have a pretty screwed up looking header when it randomises.
At least expand it to 300x150 or something.
Sounds pretty good to me, but whatever you do, don't get rid of the Bowser banner.
Please. :(
Don't worry; we won't be getting rid of any banners. Just adding a bunch. Five, or maybe eight.
Okay, good. I was just making sure, y'know.
I'm all for it. Now that I think about it, I thought the Metroid banner I made got enough votes to be counted as an official banner, but it was never put up. :confused:
I vote that we ban Netman from making new banners!!! :D:D:D:D:D
I'm all for the idea. :cool:
Get Baz to write " VG Chat" or "Video Game Chat" on that drawing board thing of his. :cool:
Well, it's the 14th. Should we get this thing underway?
New banners are already up. ;p
I guess we just submit ours in this thread? What are the dimensions?
Well, I thought this contest was open to everyone, not just the Moderators...
That would be better...I'm not sure if Hypers' just putting up his though. ;/
Eh, this one's ok.

Gonna make the pic look better.
If you expect me to make the thread then screw yourself :( I vote Sabredog as the thread maker.
I got no problem making it, actually. I just figured a super mod or maian/Hyper could make it and stick it and stuff. :cool:
how about we just add all the ones posted here, eh?
lol Might be too many.
Seen Majesty's ToS one and just had to make my own. :cool:
We should also make a poll for banners we want to get rid of.
Made the thread and got Linkman to stick it for me. We'll move on to Part II on April 22nd - one week from now.
All four new banners have been uploaded to the server so you don't have to worry about bandwidth!!
