Banner Comp

[biglad]

Hi All,

Now that everything has setteled down after our move to 3.2.2a, we are in need of anew banner to promote MGA

This is the old one for 3.1.3
http://www.mgawow.co.uk/480x60_banner3.gif

The images needs to be 468x60 and try and keep the file size as small as possible.


Please post your entries in this topic, a winner and runner up will be picked.

The Winner/Runner up will be bale to choise from
1, Some MGA Tokens
2, A lvl 77 Char added to import service (a free lvl 77 char)
3, more may be listed as we think of them....



THIS WILL CLOSE AT THE END OF FEB

Basically the same as the old logo
Things that have changed is as follows:
1. Slightly different font (I know, it's ugly :P)
2. The text stays there for 2 secs before fading in/out
3. The MGA WoW site (at bottom right) doesnt fade in/out

[cypy]

change the font geeze .. it looks horrible , its boring , and its not a clear one
and dont do the fade in/out thingy + add more colours .. id make one if id know how to lolz :))

[Bloodydeath]

I'd love to change the font if I found a decent one.
About the colors, I didn't mind it. Normally Wotlk Logos have the colors Blue, white and black. but If you don't like it, I'll check what I can do, and see if I can make a template from scratch.
GIF animation is nice, because it catches the users attention (hence ads with flash animation)

[biglad]

bloody if u google for a font called "morpheus" thast the wow font

[biglad]

way too big file. 1mb.. Otherwise, it's great
I'm Voting for
http://i47.tinypic.com/r8cg37.gif
(although the image size is big too)

[biglad]

wow they are good, but as bloody said a bit on the large side.

but if u google there are many online image compressors, ofc they will lower the quality of the image a bit.

U know... need anything just tell me :)

thats kinda gud man, il like :)))

[Potentcy]

il make a few, here is the first one, and i know its a little big, im working on it ;) to get them smaller.

http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/nicoposthumus/mgawowtemplate1-1.gif?t=1265541821

[cypy]

why is everybody using "ELITE" ? wtf .. this word is lame
"The No.1 Private Server" is more than enough :/ .. that "elite" is ugly

LE: azrael this isnt a negative psot .. you are negative every time you see me on the forums
i was trying to point out the fact that "Elite" is for kids .. if you consider yourself a kid .. well thats part 2
quit qqing at me because i wooped you with every single char i played here kk? (no offence)
i never had any problems with you nor do you with me so you dont have any other reason to be mad at me just because "you see negative things"in my posts.

[Azrael]

Cypy. every time you post, it is a negative post, quit trolling the forum. And this from someone that has supposedly "quit playing". If you have nothing positive to say, rather keep it to yourself, if I see a post like this again, I will take action.

[Potentcy]

ok, heres number 2.

[Potentcy]

[biglad]

lol im glad u better at pvp than making banners

[Potentcy]

This is under 300Kb's

http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/nicoposthumus/final3.gif?t=1265647326

http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/nicoposthumus/final2final2.gif?t=1265785059
Here's another one, slightly altered, and slowed it a little down which increased the size a little, but still under 300KB though.

http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/nicoposthumus/final5.gif?t=1265831409
,and another one :P

http://i851.photobucket.com/albums/ab73/nicoposthumus/final6.gif?t=1265835195
