Banner for the signup site

Othbarty · April 14, 2008, 08:07:31 AM

Anyone feel like they are a master of graphics and want to undertake the task of making a cool looking banner for our new raid signup site? I heard Smite was good with graphics

I have activated a theme for the site, Wrath of the Lich King i think its called :narnar:

I will have a look later on this week.
Can you please post the required dimensions here.

Othbarty · April 14, 2008, 06:01:42 PM

The current one is 800x263, but thats scaled abit. The width of the table its going into is 600px,
so ideally thats the width of the banner. There is no requirements to the heights other than that the current height of the table is set to 263px, so it would be nice if it werent higher than that. (But that is easily modified).

Optimal dimensions are 600x263

There is no need to hurry about it, the new theme looks cool enough, even tho its got the Wrath of the Lich King banner.

Cheers Smite

TBH i like the current banner.....if anything i would like to just adapt that by crossing out "Wrath of the Lich King" and putting "SOG Runners" or something similar.

Sure, anything to get SOG up there is good imo

To be honest not as good as i wanted.
I tried to find the correct font or at least something similar but no joy so tried what looked good.

Would it not be better as a .jpg?
Any reason for it to be .png?

Thinking about it.... Might it be better to remove Wrath and have SoG or Silver Oak Guardians in it's place?

Afaik there is more information in a .png then in a jpeg, but not rly my field of expertise...

Looks cool, but i think the text "Silver Oak Guardians" would look cooler

Cheers Smite

Soon Jung · April 26, 2008, 12:28:03 PM

Let me know if this is what we are after. If not i will have a look next time i get 5 mins.

Othbarty · April 27, 2008, 09:47:38 AM

Looks v good Smite, ill put it up as soon as i get the time

I like the no.1 so unless anybody says differently :narnar: Or maybe we should have a public poll? Include the members a bit?

smite · April 27, 2008, 09:53:40 AM

For something like this i would just change it and mention that it has happened. It's not that big a deal tbh....

Othbarty · April 27, 2008, 10:27:01 AM

Alright, fair enough

smite · April 27, 2008, 11:15:57 AM

LOL not the site just the banner.
