THE BANNER COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. The other one for the longest threads is still running.
I'm pleased to announce that the following people will be awarded a Filmaday prize or a banana:
CJC - Hannibal banner
Slaveunit - Gameaday.co.uk banner
Dav1d - UKphonetones.com banner
Atomic_Koala - Gameaday.co.uk banner
er-no wins a Gameaday prize for his UKchatforums.co.uk and Filmaday.co.uk banners. He's on fire.
Check out all the entries here:

Well done to everybody who took part, there were lots of interesting ideas, a toon, and only a couple of really scary ones. Watch out for the winning banners popping up all over the site in the next couple of days.

Tony's original message:
Design a banner competition. One banner equals a Filmaday prize. Two will get you a Gameaday prize.
Banners count if we use them. There can be many winners. If we don't use them then there is no prize. They must be under 15K and 468x60 pixel GIFs so don't be stupid.
Focus on our free gifts and items which are near the top of our charts, Get Dotted and Freeola, or UKchatforums. Look for an idea which will entice people to click, or a strong selling point of the product in question.

You really dont need to spend out money on fireworks, when you can do almost the same job and get it for free.
If you are thinking or making banners for companies or something, then you need fireworks, but if not just do what I do:
Use Paintbrush, set the attributes to 468 by 60 and draw the pictures on manually, then save it, and make another where some of the objects have moved, so all you have to do is merge them all together.......
with a gif animator. Type in Free Gif Animator into a search engine and take your pick! You may have to try a few...
I use ULEAD Gif Animator 2.0, which seems to do the job...
Hope this makes sense, cos I wrote it in a bit of a rush
and Good Luck :-)

I'm getting Fireworks so I can make banners. How much is Fireworks? Do SR use Fireworks?

Just saw the GameBoy Advance one.... Really good idea...
Im not sure about the FREE GIFT ones though, where the lettering moves about. Not really very original.
I suppose its all a matter of opinion.......

I've seen the one by AK based on the idea I gave him. Well done mate.

Sorry to POP this but Ive seen some ruuuuud banners the past 2 days....
Who has designed all the new banners at SR? Is it webby?
I love the x-men banner, have only seen it once, but looks almost worth clicking! :-)
