Since the old banner looks a little screwed on the new site, I thought we could do with a new banner. I made a new one in the vain of the old one, but with soome M&B goodness as well. This is just a suggestion, if you want to offer up your own, tell me.
I'll upload mine as soon as I find a location where there isn't a filter that thinks the upload page on photobucket is porno...
-
Oh's! Can we make it have all the members avartars (old ones too) make up Exilian. Like a collage ^^
-
That sounds too elitist.
-
^ True, we don't wanna alienate new members to think this is just an e-private member's club.
-
Oh yeah... erm...
Maybe make them out of M&B and R:TW images? I like the whole collage idea lol
-
Why not have a competition among the members to make a new one? Then we can vote for the best.
-
ok =] The only programme I have is paint though...
-
use this program (http://www.artweaver.de/index.php?en_version), it's great
-
My PC wont let me download it... Paint it is!
-
You could always try GIMP (http://www.gimp.org).
-
Nope =[ (F*** NORTON!)
-
There is a simple solution, my friend.
Uninstall Norton.
Install AVG.
Download.
-
AVG... hmmm
-
I'm using AVG
-
Ok, my attempt at a banner:

If anyone else has a banner they've made or would like to make one, go ahead.
-
Good, but it'd be better if the text occupied more of the picture. Also, could the text stay in the font we have now? The Olde font would only really owrk with an olde/parchment site theme, which I've kept away from on the grounds everyone else has them.
-
If I knew what that font was, sure.
-
Copperplate Gothic of some variety?
-
Indeed, it looks like Copperplate Gothic Bold.
-
Haven't been able to find Copperplate Gothic Bold, so I used Copperplate Gothic Standard instead. It looks a little skinny, but tell me what you think anyway:

Good, but the M&B bit is practically invisible.
To be honest, I'm getting unsure we even need a new banner now, as everyone is quite used to the old one. We could do with more sig banners of course anyway, so nobody's efforts will have been in vain, but the current banner has become quite iconic IMO. Could someone edit the old one so it fits the background and see how that looks?
What are people's current thoughts on the matter?
-
If Clark still has the source file for the old banner, then I could happily make it fit. Otherwise, It'll be an awkward job, mainly because of the faded edges.
-
I've got his MSN, I'll ask him sometime soon.
-
I made a new logo because I was bored.
Here are two versions with two different fonts, I can use a different font if desired (if this will be used of course).

edit: and another one with faded edges.

-
Great job ! The last one is the best in my opinion.
-
Thanks, I think I need to blur off the edges a bit more though.
-
Can you try a more blur-edged & rounded bottom one?
Excellent work, anyhows.
-
better? bad? worse?

-
to me, that is better
-
Thoughts now it's up?
-
I like it, hehe :ninja:
-
I'll get it on the site soon.
-
its looking pretty good
-
Yea, hopefully we can get it on the main site soon too...
-
Hai guys :D
Its a wonderful banner :)
-
CN2!!1!one
-
It's up on the main site now, check it out.
-
The new banner has been viewed over 11,000 times according to photobucket since being put into use. Awesome. B)
-
Maybe center the banner at the top? Or maybe I should make a wider one?
-
Actually I don't mind it off center. It fits our warped and twisted personalities...
-
Fine.
-
If so, something needs tobe beside it
-
New Mount and Blade figures would be good though. One with the letters more spaced so it goes from one side to the other could look cool.
-
I'd prefer it centred, but maybe that's just me.
-
Will try to get it centred tonight.
-
Yes, center that ****. :P
If I hit a creative streak I will throw a new one together.
edit: I dislike these emotes.
-
So find another set. :P
-
Thats good than. Thank you.
