"THE MAD BANNER CHALLENGE IS OVER - THE WINNERS ARE..."

Okay, so the mad banner challenge is over. I think big respect needs to go out to everyone who managed to create decent banners and keep them under 15k! Anyway the winning banners that we have decided to put up on the site are:


UKCheats Banner - ("Whipped by Wario...") - By Armitage Shanks
http://www.fuji-image-service.fsnet.co.uk/ukcheats/mariocheats/15kad.gif

Maxx PC Banner - ("Loading...") - By Turbonutter
http://www.imagics.f2s.com/maxx.gif

GB Advance Banner - ("GB Advance + hands...") - By Er-no
http://www.er-no.fsnet.co.uk/banner1.gif

Notables Election Banner - ("Who will be the sixth notable...") - By Er-no
http://www.er-no.fsnet.co.uk/banner2.gif


These banners have been put up on the site to see how well they do. All of the clicks are monitored by our admin system which can tell us who clicked on it, so don't even think about clicking your own banner hundreds of times!
Also we need these banners to be genuinely successful to make this a proper marketing exercise, as sometimes the banners can look amazing but it doesn't mean anyone will click on them... (trust me on this one..!)

Any of the above banners that reach 0.5% click through in the first week will win a Filmaday prize, and if both of Er-no's banners reach over 0.5% than he can claim a Gameaday prize.

Anyway, Thanks and well done to everyone who took part.

Cheers.


Mark.

I think I might have a go at this. Any ideas on GIF creating software before I go searching for it?

Any thing to avoid revising, anyway.

Just PLOPPING this

Just POPPING this.

Ok doke! No flash: understood.

I'd best get to work on that GIF then. Well, straight after RBS stops feeding me grapes and fanning me with one of those big palm tree leaves. Heaven!

Our site is completely Flash free and it will be staying that way.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that!! Oh well, he'll have to see it tomorrow, won't he

Also Tony, is it possible to create them in Macromedia's Flash design. Im sure lots of you know about Flash etc. Just along as it isn't over 15k?

If your worried about people not having the plugin, i'll just let you know that over 80% of web surfers already have it, and im sure everybody who would access a site like this will definatley have it. Hey, some huge sites such
as videogames.com have had a Flash animation banner on their site.

I obviously don't expect you to say yes, as you clearly stated it must be a 15k GIF, but it's just a thought..
