"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.

N.B. These normally go for between £200 and £300 apiece, after all, they took me all of 3 hours to put together. Seeing as it's SR though...

Its just that they are very very similar.

Darkus... I did a banner for the last competition with

the power of:

'NES+NES+NES+NES=GBA'

Did you use that idea for your playstation2 advert??

Any news on the closing date yet?

I know.. I know... short, simple, informative and catching!

Well then.. I better get started...

nothing specific really - I would go for free gifts, Maxx PC, Hardware items and Get Dotted. Keep them simple though. The best banners always have few words, and a bit of mystery to them. A viewer will need to be kinda intrigued to make them want to actually click on a banner... :)

I didn't like that banner... but then again it had a little Windows logo on it and that made me spit at the screen!

Darkus... can you please inform me what banners (products) you are looking for! I have nothing to go on!

Thanks
