"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.

My last one probably:

Make your banners simple, you don't need fancy graphics to win.

Can anyone help me out!!??

hey, CJC's Hannibal and gone in 60 seconds ones are both great!

YEs! and cooldogs, how do you get it down to 15k and the same size as SR??

and if yur 13, you should be in bed. Do your parents know yur up this late?

Zeldapro! Its 1.2mb big!

I don't think SR can have that up the top of the page unless everyone viewing has T2 connection!

Firstly you have to get a banner down to 15k!

Then get the size of the banner to be the same as SR's (download it and open, then delete the contents and start with the space you have).

Your banner would work at 15K, if you didn't have the colourful images! A banner doesn't need to have manyh images remember! It needs to be catching!

Then, let me see it again tommorow!

:D Night!

you need to change the size of your banner. the dimensions are in the first message, also is it only 15bites? cot it takes a long time to load up if it is.

Another helpful hint: make sure the animation is interesting, not boring

seeya

YESS! It worked:

(remove those spaces to work please)

P.S Er-no, since you are superb at making banners can you take a look at mine and tell me what I could do to improve. BUt please take into account that I am 13 yrs old, and this is my first one and I have never done anything like it!

P.P.S Er-no can you give me any tips on how to do this, because mostly that was guesswork!!

THANX
