"EXTRA EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE - FEBRUARY BANNERS"

Blimey, that was a task and a half. Well done to all who entered, the standard of banners has gone up significantly since the last competition, so I look forward to the next one (as long as I don't have to judge it).

It was a tough decision to pick winning entries, but we narrowed it down to 3. You'll notice that the winning banners are quite simple and effective, fancy stuff is all well and good but when you've only got 15k to play with, you need to sacrifice it sometimes. Okay, enough waffle, the winners are...

Funkygamer for his Comanche Banner
Gabbo for his GetDotted Banner (fifth from top)
Natbuc for his Monsters Inc Banner (blue)

You all win the DVD of your choice from our database, up to the value of £25 - congratulations! Special mention must got to all the people who submitted loads and loads of banners and didn't win, sorry about that! And I apologise for ending the competition slightly early, I wanted to get it finished for the weekend for you.

Cheers
Ali

Some Geocities links may need a www inserted to make them work, it's an eternal mystery to me. I'm judging this as we speak.



Ali - please organise this.

1 banner used = FAD prize
2 banners used = GAD prize

Give url's and Ali will make them into hyperlinks in this thread.

Rule 1

Banners must be commercially inspired for the purpose of generating income and profit to Special Reserve or Freeola. i.e. Please do not design banners for UKcheats, Gameaday, Winacar etc. Design banners for SR Membership, Maxx, products we sell, Get Dotted, Freeola, Ram, PC parts - anything which is a source of income to us.

Rule 2

Banners must be under 15k, Indexed gif, 468 x 60 pixels. You can submit RGB gifs but better if they are "indexed" as they will apparently come up smaller.

Thanks in advance. Good Luck.

Yeah, me too Er-no: Remember me? I'm the guy that churned out 20 a day :D

And I'm at it again!

And good luck to Gabbo - you did well last time

And good luck to all!

I was AK, but now I'm Gabbo.

I'll put all my entries on a page later.

Personally, I prefer Yahoo to MSN, what's your ID? If you don't want to put it on the net, just mail it me at [email protected].

Sadly no, I would have but the firewall we have at work blocks MSN... I can use Yahoo Messenger, but nobody else in the world seems to use it. Dammit!

Hey funkygamer, got MSN?

er-no won some other banner compos eh? I think he should at least be decent enough to show us his work so far, al he has been doing is making little comments as we've been working...

Come on er-no, show us what you are made of!
