"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.

Here is my version of that Gad idea

Whaddya all think?

I'm not entirely happy with that hand though.

OK, I'm very tired right now and I can't concentrate so this is a very basic first try, the text doesn't even line up properly yet. I'll play with it tomorrow.

In my clipart there is a guy holding his hand up. Its called happy friendly human in the cartoon section, and it is a siloet or whatever.

Its the whole body of a guy so im not sure if thats quite what you are looking for or not.

generally wanted it to be clip art, found one on microsoft online clips but it's not exactly what i wanted. I was looking for a silotte (?) of a hand.

A hand? Don't know where to find a pic of one of those. Does it have to be a image like in clipart or can you get any image off the net and use it?

Er-no and Whooo Stlye, please have a go at my idea if you want. I would be "chuffed" if someone done a banner of it. Thanks for not saying it was total crap by the way and if I have anymore ideas i'll let you know.

I will probably get the trial one day and see how it is. So, where you going on holiday then er-no?

It is if you spend about 30 hours getting used to it and are really keen on learning it. It is a super excellent package and probably only really worth getting as a full version.

role on getting customers, as soon as I get my next order for a website I'm gonna buy Dreamweaver and Fireworks 4.

I need a pic of a hand, any ideas?
