If you've ever wanted to make a banner to go up in the header of the page, here's your chance.
Rules: Submissions MUST BE 264x107! It cannot be any smaller or larger. Also, be sure it is in JPG, GIF, or PNG format before you post it.
You have one week from today to post entries in this thread, and next Friday we'll open a poll with all entries and move on from there. Please do not post your images. Post links to them instead. Don't wanna kill the page for any 56k users.
When posting your link, be sure to post the name of your banner, or atleast what its theme is.
I will also keep a list of all entries here in this post to serve as an entry form. Hyper, maian, or any super mods, feel free to edit this if you spot a new entry before I edit it in myself.
Have fun, and good luck.
You may have noticed that there are already some new banners in rotation. These were added before the contest started, and no more will be added until after the contest.

It's Yuri from Shadow Hearts, if anyone didn't know.
Added the new entries. I forgot to ask, though. Hyper, what happens if we've got more than 20 entries when this week ends? Do we do an elimination poll or something and then move to the best 20?

as for the dimensions, wtf? pretty much none of the banners are the same dimensions, just accept 260-270 x 100-110.
Well, it's what Rob said in the Mod board. Just relaying it. Either that or they have to be pretty close to that size, or else the header will looked messed up when it randomizes.
Eh, I assumed they were all the same size and just checked the one. Sure, just make sure they're approximately the same so it doesn't look bollocks.

halo banner^^
I will submit these two for the contest.
It wouldn't really look bad if they were much bigger. The way its coded I don't think it would stretch the page any.
Please post the links, not the images.

Link is being slightly overused...
Isn't there a way you could just use all of them?
I USED LINK FIRST LOL
Hmm, lemme get "the schedule".
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.
[copied from mod board]
I say add 'em all if we don't get much more.
At least, most of them. :)
Well I'm working on a few! I'll get em in on time.
EDIT:
And here's one of em

(Raziel, Legacy of Kain)
why dont you make it your first post in this thread is where you will put all the banners?
Its would keep it easy and clean
The first post in the thread in general is where they're all going. If you'd actaully read the thread you'd know that.
New thread to house the entries since I ran out of space to edit my post in this thread any more.
You misspelt Raziel Alastor....you didn't put the l at the end IMO
Don'tcha call him Razie too? :(

Oh, you made that one? It's one of my favourites up there. :cool:
Hey so, uh, I think a poll to remove some of the current banners would be good idea before the banners that win are added.
I second that. :o
Don't touch the bowser or f-zero ones, though. :(
I think we can afford to un-sticky and lock this.
