Title: New banner
Post by: Marcus on February 23, 2009, 11:39:53 AM
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...

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.

You could always try GIMP (http://www.gimp.org).

There is a simple solution, my friend.

Uninstall Norton.

Install AVG.

Download.

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.

Post by: Marcus on March 22, 2009, 01:16:42 AM
If I knew what that font was, sure.

Copperplate Gothic of some variety?
Title: New banner
Post by: Andalus on March 22, 2009, 11:15:16 PM
Indeed, it looks like Copperplate Gothic Bold.
Title: New banner
Post by: Marcus on April 27, 2009, 06:00:34 PM
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 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.

Post by: Silver Wolf on March 03, 2010, 08:55:54 PM
Great job ! The last one is the best in my opinion.
Title: New banner
Post by: comrade_general on March 03, 2010, 09:04:24 PM
Thanks, I think I need to blur off the edges a bit more though.
Title: New banner
Post by: Jubal on March 06, 2010, 02:54:03 PM
Can you try a more blur-edged & rounded bottom one?

Excellent work, anyhows.

Yea, hopefully we can get it on the main site soon too...

It's up on the main site now, check it out.
Title: New banner
Post by: comrade_general on April 18, 2010, 03:11:43 AM
The new banner has been viewed over 11,000 times according to photobucket since being put into use. Awesome.  B)
Title: Re: New banner
Post by: comrade_general on May 05, 2011, 10:37:10 PM
Maybe center the banner at the top? Or maybe I should make a wider one?
Title: Re: New banner
Post by: Phoenixguard09 on May 06, 2011, 12:49:18 AM
Actually I don't mind it off center.  It fits our warped and twisted personalities...
Title: Re: New banner
Post by: comrade_general on May 06, 2011, 03:08:50 AM
Fine.
Title: Re: New banner
Post by: Goldyrulz on May 06, 2011, 08:06:27 AM
If so, something needs tobe beside it

Post by: Cuddly Khan on May 06, 2011, 09:10:17 AM
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.
Title: Re: New banner
Post by: Jubal on May 06, 2011, 06:34:24 PM
I'd prefer it centred, but maybe that's just me.
Title: Re: New banner
Post by: Marcus on May 06, 2011, 07:51:56 PM
Will try to get it centred tonight.
Title: Re: New banner
Post by: comrade_general on May 06, 2011, 10:28:55 PM
Yes, center that ****. :P

If I hit a creative streak I will throw a new one together.

edit: I dislike these emotes.
Title: Re: New banner
Post by: Marcus on May 06, 2011, 10:33:56 PM
So find another set. :P
