Banner Competition!

Dax

:announce:
We need a banner for the Wrestling SIG. If any of you know how to create a banner or you just want to give it a try, please do.
Submit your proposals here. The best proposal will be awarded with 600 seedbonus points (=10 GB to your upload and improved ratio).
Each of you can submit more than one proposal.
The banner must mention Gaytorrent.ru, Wrestling Special Interest Group and the link to our board:
https://forum.gaytorrent.ru/index.php?board=121.0
Anything else (pics, fonts, background, coloring, catch phrase etc) is up to you.
I give you some examples of what the banners of other SIGs look like.
We'd like to add our new banner as soon as possible, so hurry up!

I made the one for Leather and Bear myself and so were most of the others shown here made by the Mod or cumeaternc did several as I remember. Anyhow mine is simply three images linked together as follows:

[center][img]https://www.gaytorrent.ru/bitbucket/crotch-biting-wrestler a.jpg[/img][img]https://www.gaytorrent.ru/bitbucket/07_1371601362.jpg[/img][img]https://www.gaytorrent.ru/bitbucket/tow37 a.jpg[/img][/center]

I made the center "banner" with BannerFans and then re-sized the images you had using the vertical size of 200 pixels as the guide ( the height of the Banner ) and let the editor set the width proportionally. The 2 pictures are slightly different widths but I do not think it is obvious.

Dax

The first proposal! Thank you, LB! :cheers:

It's good that you mention how you created the banner. It will be useful to our members who want to give it a try and don't know how.
As a side note, the images used in the banner do not necessarily have to be the same two images that I use and LB used. You can pick any images that you like.

Thanks again, LB!

Just wonder if it might be a good idea to make the banner 'clickable' so people didn't need to type the SIG URL

For instance this:

[url][img]https://www.gaytorrent.ru/bitbucket/07_1371601362.jpg[/img][/url]

<<< click on picture

And no, I'm useless at artwork but enjoy fiddling with BB code

Edit: this works as intended in preview mode but as soon as I post it the click picture doesn't go to the group site. Right-click, open in new tab works OK. Any ideas

Dax

Thank you, cannonmc!

The banner will be added to the top of the Wrestling SIG and will be visible when you visit the Board.

But I will add the same banner to my signature and I will make it clickable. Thank you!

You say that you're not good at artwork. Well, you never really know unless you give it a try.
I would love to see a proposal made by you!
Don't worry about the result. You can make something like a draft, post it, and we could discuss how it could be further improved.

cannonmc

Dax, I do know, I've tried ;D

I'm quite happy to leave arty stuff to our more arty members :worship:

But happy to help if/when I can

Dax

Well, if that's the way you feel, it's really fine. No worries!

You have helped the site and the forum on many occasions, and we really appreciate your contribution. :love:
Whenever you feel like having a brainstorm, we'll be glad to hear your ideas. Any input is welcome and it may prove valuable.

The link not working seems to be caused by the javascript picture viewer … :afr:

Dax

What do you think? Any preference? Any further suggestion?

leatherbear

:cheers: I Like your version better than mine :cheers:

I had rather hoped you would at least play with the banner programs :hehe: and you did an excellent job indeed :ok2:

Dax

Thanks, LB! The differences between the two versions are minimal really. I can still play with the fonts, the background color and the pics.
But I'm still hoping for new proposals by our members.
C'mon, guys. It's not that hard, it's fun and there's a prize!

I might be a little late but here's the banner I created, I hope I'm not to late.

Riddler

Nice creation!!

Please resubmit with the capitalization of each word in "Wrestling Special Interest Group" and italicize the link.

JaceWayland

Thanks! Here's the updated banner.

cannonmc

Looks very good, Jace

I wish I was clever
