"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.

Thanks

hmm... well I am probably not the person to ask, you see I really don't like banners for singular games.

(I have not done any)
Also, I feel that with your Black & White banner the game is a few months old and I can remember SR having a nice banner for this game.

Any GT3 banner is hated by me, I have seen it way to many times on the SR sites, I think they already have two or three up as I type this.

I like your GAD banner, but it wouldn't catch my eye from anything else, try variations of this one (background colour). Infact try this colour : #1818B5 (its the SR blue)

Hope this helps.
:)

im 99% sure it will be a month after the opening date - so it will be the 25th August. Ali is dealing with this comp so he will have to confirm this.

yeah, if you don't like them, tell me why so I can change them

Do you think these look more professional?

Yeah the greek one is good, slow it down a bit though :-)
I've changed the gad one again, what do you think now?

That looks a lot better, it's just the "To Wim it" bit looks really unprofessional, you need to change the font of that bit and it'll be fine. experiment with the fonts on yur computer and see if you find any really good capitol letters, and use them.

what do you think of my greek one?
