Banner Competition
published Wednesday, 3 Nov. 2010, 00:00 by Kenneth
Some weeks ago Prylle & onkiro suggested in the forum that we should make a community banner competition - so... here it is!
Competition has ended - the winner will be revealed shortly!
Design Brief
The aim of the competition is to create an official Interstellar Marines banner, which can be used for linking to interstellarmarines.com on other sites. You can be as creative as you like and include anything although your banner must include the text “Interstellar Marines”.
Specifications
Size: 468 x 60 pixels (If your banner is too big or to small your entry won't count)
Image format: PNG
Colours: Any
Style: Any
Deadline: Friday the 3rd of December 2010
Reward
The reward is a Spearhead upgrade for the winner. If the winner is already a Spearhead, then he or she can give the Spearhead upgrade to a friend.
Submission
Competition submissions must be posted as links in this forum thread. We will then regularly collect and post the banners in this article. We will select the best banner and publish the winner mid December.
An example of a Bullseye related banner
Finally
We hope you enjoy the competition and look forward to see what you come up with. If you have any questions please post them here.

But yes, this is an awesome idea. Ill see if I can do anything, I am not an artist what so ever, so... yeah... Maybe Ill just submit one for giggles...
forgefire:

Aevaris:

Also, just noticed. Is there supposed to be an example where it says "An example of a bullseye related banner"?
Siepher:

If I win (after I participate) I'll give it to whoever has the most posts, and is not a spearhead.

Aevaris:
1 year, 6 months ago
@mag lol, leaves a good first impression :-P
Siephers, when they get posted, will come in and just stomp the yard though... sigh... I wonder if we'll see even more stronger entries as time goes on... or has Siepher won this thing a month early? :-P
dracogas:

*sigh* there goes my Spearhead upgrade xD
Siepher winz it.
Astalano:
1 year, 6 months ago
He might gift it to you. :P
GortosXtreme:

Most people will likely gift it to RL friends...
Aevaris:

Well, if Siepher honor's his first post, he said he would gift it to the person who isn't spearhead with the most posts. Although, he later also said "whoever wins the contest should give it to someone who deserves it" I dunno if he said deserves it or someone who is active or something like that.
In any case, I'd hope that whoever wins gives it to someone who is active, instead of it going to waste like the poor epic model >.>
Siepher:

Well, if I win, I'll give it to someone who deserves it. Post count is one thing, but there are also people who doesn't really contribute to the making of Interstellar Marines, but have a high post count.
I'll probably end up asking the rest of you guys who should have it.

Well Siepher, there could be a few reasons for not contributing. Like they haven't got the money. Anyway if you win, i'm thinking that Dracogas should get it.
Siepher:

I didn't mean contributing with money, I meant participating in threads, QOTW and such.
