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.

I have done a few whilst messing around, I usualy just fiddly about with the animation programs. When this comp first opened I thought I would give it a go.
Any opinions on them?
Some are good but I think you have been a bit careless on a few of them. For example, on your first getdotted banner the little blue dots move when the text changes, this makes them look very unprofessional, if you make it so the blue dots don't move it will them look alot better.
I hope this helps.
> Thanks, your staff banner looks cool.
Thanks, you have a good in this comp.
