"EXTRA EXTRA MAD BANNER.2 Winners Announced"

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.

Good banners Dav1d, I guess the lame one is banner 2?

3 more banners (one of them is a bit lame, but im starting to get a bit stuck on ideas)

Made a 'ukcheats' banner, I was looking like the best one I had ever made, untill I had to change the quality of the picture just to get it down to 15k! I spent about 3 hours planning how it should be, I also had to take parts out. I think we should be allowed up to 30k at the most, it's too much of a challenge making them at only 15k.

Anyway's new banner added:

Think about it Ali?


NO keep it open! I am getting back on the 19th and will want to upload my remaining banners then! Its unfair because they are ready but sadly I had to leave them on the computer thinking that the competition was open until the 25th.

Thanks
er-no

22nd is ok?

rik..... you spelt failure wrong in your cheats banner...

The rest are pretty cool though

er-no here is wales?

Anyones I should take a look at while I am connected to the 2nd and only phone line in Wales?

I have run out of ideas, you might have noticed that I have started to make single game banners. I think you should keep the closing date set.

Can we have a closing date thats sooner than August 25th please?

There are two reasons for this:

1) I'll be on holiday for a lot of the remainder of the compo

2) People are already running short of good ideas. Sonn we'll just have a load of crap banners being posted to pass the time.

Think about it Ali?

Anyone who is willing, could you please give me some tips on improving my banners?
