*Jess♥ Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 heya all, I'm thinking about doing some banners or getting some made. how about a group effort or some kind of game to make as many as we can,. or a collaborative work or something. what do you think about making a banner or many banners that we can use on any other sites we may visit?

Toku Warrior Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 It sounds like a nice idea. I know that at Hyperium, all the current banners there were crafted by me and even Bobby is in the process of making additional banners for the site. But if someone is going to make a banner(s) for this site they would need all the specifics for it. Though, of course, you already know that. This could lead into a small site contest revival. The winner gets their banner(s) added to the site banner index. Quote
*Jess♥ Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 maybe league tables? I don't know about specifics. I think any reasonable banner size would be.... reasonable. Quote
Toku Warrior Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Well, what do you want to see in a banner? Do you want the banners around the same size as the one on the Legend Skin? (what is the pixel aspect ratio anyway?) What word(s) do you want on the banner and what kind of font would you like used? You know, that kind of stuff. Maybe you could also supply a full size .png format image of that alien eye/control medal looking thing as it is basically almost like the site emblem. Quote
durendal Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Good luck with that! It may not be my place to say this, but any attempts to cajole our colleagues to sum up their creative skills, we end up wanting. Though it would be nice to have rotating banners for the site. Quote
Toku Warrior Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I can provide the site link that I use for Hyperium's rotating banners if needed. Quote
*Jess♥ Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 not forum headers, i was thinking banners for putting in signatures. I have no ideas right now for fonts or sizes or images etc. I was thinking we could try throwing some ideas around. durendal, yeah you know as well as i do about competitions. we are well aware of how those turned out. I'm not looking for that type of thing. even if i only get a few comments from you guys and make a few banners myself, I'll be happy. btw the legend header banner is 600x89 you want some files for that logo? I can give the words and the logo in its various forms. on an angle, straight ahead and dirty and clean. I have psd files for it i can sort those out tomorrow. rotating banners might be cool. if we end up producing something for that it would be very cool. I'll post a couple jpg images. Quote
durendal Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I do have a liking to the current JL header. It blends well with the site. I do like to ask what purpose these banners will be for. I mean obviously to advertise the site, but where will you put it? You can't exactly force people to use those banners, right? Me, for example, would not use any banners for my signature. I'm using my current one simply because there are other machines that would not be able to read Japanese fonts. Quote
Johnleprekan Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) How's this for a banner? Edited June 22, 2011 by Johnleprekan Quote
Toku Warrior Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Well, that does make more sense Ryuki. The site I use for site header rotation at Hyperium can also be used for banner signatures. Who knows, I may take a few crackes at this. @Johnleprekan - I really like that one. I especially like how you did the CM glowing effect to make it look almost anime-like in aspect. Quote
Bio-Boosted Dude Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 How's this for a banner? wow. i like this a lot! Very nice spin on the current one. i will probably try something out sooner or later. Ryuki have you got this one without the text on top? http://www.japan-legend.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=7260 psd or not Quote
*Jess♥ Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 wow, very nice johnleprekan! that is pretty awesome and especially in such a short time ! this is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking about. if we all have fun doing this kind of thing, we will have some really nice imagery. my hope is that people will enjoy these banners and they may choose their favourite and choose to use it in their signature on this site or other sites. How's this for a banner? what i really like about this is how you have really gone to the core of my initial design process. you've identified the key elements and stripped away the more 'kamen rider' type elements and made it more guyver flavoured. bbdude, I'll get you that image now.
