New Banners Proposition

Solonoid · August 16, 2016, 07:30:01 AM

Some are pretty similar to the old ones, but I made new versions so the fonts would be constant.

Hope you like them.

Spoiler

I spent a long time creating the Serious and Gaming banners, as much of those images were created from nothing in photoshop. Like, everything left of Harambe was not in the original photo.

Be sure to let me know if you want to use them, as I may make these banners dropdown options in future versions of technicolor if they don't end up being used.

Serious banner best banner

Not overly keen on the fonts used - I'd lower the text height so they're not as 'in-your-face'. Elsewise pretty good. I like.

Oh, I'd also move the text right a bit. It looks a bit crammed into the left.

This xcf contains all of the banners, the text overlays, and raw materials to create layer masks to generate different color text if you want to.

The font used is Capsuula, but you shouldn't need it unless you want to add any text.

i didn't feel like putting too much effort into figuring out how to get the images you sent me to work on paint.net so i just made a concept banner. obviously more effort coulda been made to make it look legit but we'll cross that bridge later.

XCF is the standard format for use in Gimp.

If you're a fan of Paint.NET I reccomend downloading plugins for these popular file formats.

.XCF (GIMP)
.PSD (Photoshop)

That's because they're all kind of lame. Come up with good designs and they will get added.

Come on, everybody likes the harambe one.

Here's the raw image, just overlay the current font on it.
The FSM banner has gotten stale.

Oops wrong image.

I'd call them above average and they also kind of go with the theme.

FYI: if you are wanting to make banners and submit them, please use Century Gothic, Open Sans, Raleway, etc. Serif and bubbly fonts don't fit.

I didn't save the psd file for it, so I just redid it again with what you wanted, this next image I saved the psd file for it.

So you want something like this?

Maybe not quite so much, but yes.
