    Icon14 Frontpage Banner Competition

    As a hosted mod forum we can get a slot in the banner rotation at the front page (the big thing at the top). However, we first need a banner before we can start showing it off. So we decided to have a little competition to see who makes the best banner which will then be used to advertise for our mod.

    The banner should have a size of 970*200 pixels and it should be to the point (the mod name should be prominent and it shouldn't be too crammed with too much content). Otherwise let your creative spirits flow! We will accept propositions until tuesday.

    The winner will be decided by forum poll. Apart from the honor of having their banner shown on the front page, the winner will also get a place in our credits list

    Due to logistical reasons I can only give out virtual cakes, like this one:

    It is a tad blurry on the left side, make it more dramatic by changing some of the contrast, give it a nice reddish flare, would look right sexy then.

    I don't want to influence the poll by statement of opinion

    My opinion doesn't matter

    We decided that team members won't vote (except maybe for Donz who wasn't a team member until a few days ago - after the competition started; it's his decision).

    Sorry to clutter the thread, but I really didn't like my font after looking at it in the forum, so i'm going to change my image in my original post.

    Ok just make sure you get it done until I post the poll tomorrow. I will copy the banners to our web server to avoid tampering with them afterwards (not implying that any of the participants would but just to be sure).
