Banner Contest.


http://villavu.com/vb/images/satellite/misc/logo.gif
This is our current Banner. This Banner (made by our one and only comrade c0de) which we have used for years will be replaced. It's time for a change. It is in dissonant with the Satellite skin. So, all you talents out there: Make us a new Banner!

Requirements


Must contain the text: SRL and SRL Resource Library.
Approx same dimensions as the current one.
In harmony with Satellite.
Same background color to blend in.
Visual feedback. Iconify what SRL stands for.
Less-is-more. (But that's a personal taste)



Rewards


Eternal Fame.
Custom User Title: SRL Banner Designer.
Designer's signature in the Banner.


There is no timeslot for this contest as of now. SRL has never initiated a contest like this before, so we will have to see what the response is.

Let me see what you got! Ban the current Banner!


RM: For any more questions as to why it should say SRL Resource Library please read this thread (http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43188).

Wouldn't that be SCAR instead of SRL?

New Concept? Sure. Albeit known elements are favorable
Groovy or Official? I lean towards official, but all options are open.

I believe you're forgetting a comrade (http://www.villavu.com/forum/member.php?u=1085).

Anyways.. I like the text a lot on Nicbaz's, and Masterkill and Nicbaz's logos. Very simple.

Also, as Hermpie pointed out, shouldn't it say "SCAR Resource Library," not "SRL Resource Library"?

Please say if the car wasn't right. I though it was just cool as a symbol that we've sort of got a new start with the new forums... so a matching NEW banner.

EDIT:
Soz ToF for stealing the idea but:

Heres my entry:

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/820/srlbanner.jpg

Visual Feedback
I have tried to stick to the whole theme use by SCAR. hence the orange and black theme. As requested i have kept the background colour same ar the original picture, although i can make it transparent if required. I have rendered the crosshair from SCAR, this to me signifies the clients we targe or may target in the future. I was tempted to use reflection on SRL very much but it mage it look too much like a sig and took out the profeessional aspect away. As for the JCB thing, well it was the first thing that caught my eye, the first time i was introduced to SCAR, so i thought it was appropriate. that concludes my visual feedback.

So who gets eternal fame and the rank?

EDIT: Maybe do like 4 winners, which would be the ones that get rotated. Say like WT-Fawaki's favourite, Wizzup's favourite and the two most popular public banners. Then those 4 who win get the SRL Banner Maker title and get the 4 rotated.

My favourite from yours, Dan, would be http://i44.tinypic.com/nwbzfk.jpg

Just my suggestion would be to move the "SRL RESOURCE LIBRARY" text to the part on the bottom (more to the left) where it is a lighter colour so you can read it.

That would be a pretty simple solution.
If that was implemented, everyone would have to make a banner that is a set size. Right now, for the most part, everyone's banners are different sizes. :o

Or to maintain a better size:


<?php

list($w, $h) = getimagesize($img);

But this shows they we are kind and not evil green eyed botters

What? I have come to the bad place? Others said I can come here with green eyes, being an unkindly, evil botter.

Just thought I'd put in that even if you're not using a picture for commercial gain, you can still be told to take it down, etc for using a copyrighted image. And you'd be surprised about adherence to copyright rules.

EDIT: Yet, if you change the image a small amount, you can claim it as a work of your own. ;)

Meh, don't we have any artists here? IMO look on deviantart, someone there will have a piece good enough for our uses, and will be willing to allow us to display it...

I think the whole forum could use an edit. ^^ I mean, why not? :D I think that when SRL 5 and Simba (I assume they'll be released simultaneously) come out, the forum, logo, and everything should change. :D

I like Smartz idea to look on deviantart, I don't really think we'd have any issues with copyright, but you never know.

Sorry offtopic, but c0de is a JMod??? I can't see him giving in to the capitalist overlords :p

Sure.

@Everyone, send/pm me ones you like (more). I got a rar from Fakawi and chose a few out of those ones. I assume he didn't pick all from the thread.

No I understand the purpose of what you're doing, but there are many more than just that one picture that aren't transparent.

And nobody answered my question...

Please stop with that.

There are reason's people aren't replying to that.

If it is something you absolutely need to know about, then talk to him personally, or PM someone about it.

I'm not saying he is, just saying that either way it doesn't need to be a public issue.



As far as banners go, I really really like MK's. I don't think he's ever put out something I haven't liked to be honest.


@Wizzup?/Admins, do you plan to keep the banner's random? or is it just for the "downtime" and afterwords decide on one to keep?

Wait hold on a second... why didn't you PM me? If it's a sensitive subject don't get all high and mighty on me in the thread, send me a PM explaining what's up and I'll edit my post.

Apologies to anyone who felt uncomfortable with me asking the question.

I thought about that after I posted it actually, and your right, I should have just PM'd you.

I apologize if I sounded "high and mighty" to you, as that was not my intention.

And it's not that the question would make someone feel uncomfortable. I just feel the subject should just be handled with respect.

Ok I won't bring it up, sorry to have caused a stir. I was just genuinely curious that's all.

Thanks for the apology, but don't worry about it; I was acting defensive :p
