"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.

The 15k limit is a little bit tricky to play around with :(. I'm trying to think of what to base my next banner on...

I had to play around with the original image sizes and tweak them alot.... then it was down to the timing!

:-) I like the car one! (shame its not the full version).

No no nonono. I mean on the actual banner. Should I place 1free.co.uk on the end? Will it be defamed without it?


>>er-no - I have not been able to spend much time on these but your stuff looksgood to me. Well done that er-man.

Thank you kindly Tony! You should have seen the 24K version of banner10! It was so excellent! (fade ins and wipes)...

Oh well.. what can you do...

er-no, I think your second banner is the best with all them free gifts. They are all good though.

There are 5 up now :)

Tony what do you think of mine?

It's a minor point, as the wording can easily be changed, but we don't have any plans to advertise the name Special Direct yet.

At the moment it is still "Special Reserve"

now ready.

(Don't ask about Banner3.gif, it's not for entry, unless you really want to lose some business.)

I have spent a good few hours on these!!

It took me long time getting it to 15k (especially banner 10)

phew.. anyway this is the first batch of freegifts etc...
