Banner Contest

Banner Contest.



This is our current Banner. This Banner (made by our one and only comrade c0de) which we have used for years will be replaced. It's time for a change. It is in dissonant with the Satellite skin. So, all you talents out there: Make us a new Banner!

Requirements

  • Must contain the text: SRL and SRL Resource Library.
  • Approx same dimensions as the current one.
  • In harmony with Satellite.
  • Same background color to blend in.
  • Visual feedback. Iconify what SRL stands for.
  • Less-is-more. (But that's a personal taste)


Rewards

  • Eternal Fame.
  • Custom User Title: SRL Banner Designer.
  • Designer's signature in the Banner.

There is no timeslot for this contest as of now. SRL has never initiated a contest like this before, so we will have to see what the response is.

Let me see what you got! Ban the current Banner!


RM: For any more questions as to why it should say SRL Resource Library please read this thread.

Designer's signature in the Banner.


we place our name in the banner?

EDIT: Looking for a groovy or more offical look?

Narcle

2009-03-22 07:17:57

I like the idea. Can the banner be a completely new concept besides the text?

Wouldn't that be SCAR instead of SRL?

WT-Fakawi

2009-03-22 07:27:51

New Concept? Sure. Albeit known elements are favorable
Groovy or Official? I lean towards official, but all options are open.

I believe you're forgetting a comrade.

Anyways.. I like the text a lot on Nicbaz's, and Masterkill and Nicbaz's logos. Very simple.

Also, as Hermpie pointed out, shouldn't it say "SCAR Resource Library," not "SRL Resource Library"?

First attempt, not very good lol (SRL Improved! Shovel to car :p)

quick v2:

Please say if the car wasn't right. I though it was just cool as a symbol that we've sort of got a new start with the new forums… so a matching NEW banner.

EDIT:
Soz ToF for stealing the idea but:

I'm still very doubtful about the car thing. Please give your OP's on it.

It's a bit plain tbh.
And the books they match the theme but not really the colours.

2009-03-22 17:11:56

Heres my entry:


Visual Feedback
I have tried to stick to the whole theme use by SCAR. hence the orange and black theme. As requested i have kept the background colour same ar the original picture, although i can make it transparent if required. I have rendered the crosshair from SCAR, this to me signifies the clients we targe or may target in the future. I was tempted to use reflection on SRL very much but it mage it look too much like a sig and took out the profeessional aspect away. As for the JCB thing, well it was the first thing that caught my eye, the first time i was introduced to SCAR, so i thought it was appropriate. that concludes my visual feedback.

2009-03-22 17:13:16

No I'm talking about the bottom text, the background looks fine.

Dan Cardin

2009-03-23 21:31:35

this? I couldnt keep it in the way left because it conflicted with the other text too much.

Though i kind of liked the bottom text because it represented srl's new change to being a paradox.

I'd like this one. if 'SRL Resource Library' yxt was put down, We have a picture of a bull dozer (Light coloured) and you got rid of that little symbol to the right.

I think this is the best so far.

Dan Cardin

2009-03-25 18:26:10

yxt = put down further?
bulldozer = the scar one? and where?
i thought the symbol looked nifty :P, but its a bit unrelated:rolleyes:

EDIT: Maybe do like 4 winners, which would be the ones that get rotated. Say like WT-Fawaki's favourite, Wizzup's favourite and the two most popular public banners. Then those 4 who win get the SRL Banner Maker title and get the 4 rotated.

That coin thing is like the "database" icon. Google Database icon, they are all like that. I would personally google Server icon, it is more 'computerish'

That would be a pretty simple solution.
If that was implemented, everyone would have to make a banner that is a set size. Right now, for the most part, everyone's banners are different sizes. :o

Hmm, could you see what it looks like with the light green colour from the forum gradient with the blue on the spiral instead of just all blue?
Would be cool on rotation with some of the others, perhaps a cup/"SRL Banner Designer" rank for people who make the logos? New entries could always be accepted if deemed good enough.
