For something fun for the next few days, we are gonna have a graphics contest for the banner ad you see at the top of our UBB.

Everyone is eligible to enter, it must be <22k, between 550x55 and 600x60, and use the color scheme found in our present design. The deadline for entry is 10:00AM CST Wednesday 12-06-2000. Please post in the graphics forum your entry, or in this thread.

We will use atom911's voting script from Midnight that night until midnight the next night to allow everyone possible to vote on their favorite. You will prolly merit higher votes if the design takes into consideration the upcoming holidays... All users will get one vote to vote for their favorite design, with the three admins here, Deb, Digital Boy, and I having veto power over the final results in case someone like "Hank the angry drunken dwarf" wins...[Linked Image]

The top 7 entrants will get their banner rotated on this site thru January 1, 2001.

Good luck, we will have some more interesting contests in the near future, and tomorrow the second place finisher from this month's member spotlight will have their interview posted... a very nice site, to be sure.

Cal seems to be participating, so I am guessing moderators are allowed in this contest, right? [Linked Image]

I hope so... I'll be busting out Photoshop as soon as I get home. [Linked Image]

This is going to be very cool and UBBDev's very excited about it! Remember this is happening quickly so please create, post your banners soon and don't forget to VOTE. We're looking forward to seeing a lot of creative banners from the many talented people that are members here. [Linked Image]

(and I promise UBBDev will NOT recount the counted votes and 'every vote counts'.... LOL... now where have I heard that??)

Cheers!

Um... just to make sure: are you looking for a temporary seasonal banner, with the intention to return to the present one after the holidays?

Here's my first entry. It's about 24KB, which is 2KB over the limit - sorry about that. If you don't want to include it in the poll, s'ok with me. I will try a couple other designs later, too, to make it under the 22KB limit. [Linked Image]

Here's a second possible logo - only 12K if I remember right, so it's well under the limit. [Linked Image] This one's not quite as good as my previous one, though, it's just an idea I had...

2fujin, yeah, seems so ... but try to have a look @ just ONE of these; a bunch of graphics which include the same type of gfx-effect always seems to be kinda strange [Linked Image] - i did all of the banner just in a few minutes, so - well... i won't appreciate feedback (*evilgrin*), :-)

Finally...[Linked Image]

The banners are finally up, you can begin here --> click me! <--

Click on the Banners link and get a cup of coffee, there's 38 banners there and they will take a while to download if you are on a dial-up... You get one vote, so be sure and go through the whole list, I put the holiday banners up top, and the rest in no particular order. I apologize, 4 were eliminated for being over the size/ weight limit.

Be sure and check the whole list, some very nice ones are at the bottom, including syinide's excellent contribution. Top 7 will be rotated throughout the site thru January 1, 2001.

When you said "Size/weight limit" Allen, I suddenly had thoughts of banners that were too fat to fit on planes and things.. you know.. a ubb dev banner with rolls of fat and stuff.

ohhh.. never mind, just one of my weird tangential things going on again..

I thought it was funny though..
