vBFAQ Banners

Would anyone like to take a shot at making some vBFAQ banners?

My first try, inform your thoughts and suggest any changes needed...

Bigger one

I like what I see -- thanks!

Miner - Might want to capitolize the "Friendly Admin Forums" and add "Free" to vB Skins, Styles and Graphics.



Standard size banner is 468x60

and a small one like 350 x 25 would be nice. Kinda like vbhackers has (for signatures): See Below



Static and Animated would be great.


I thought it would be nice to put up a page where people could get banners if they wanted to link to us. So any and all sizes would be good. I would love to have a page full of different variations that people can use.

all sounds good! I took the header at the top of the page for mine, but at 468 x 60, there's no way to use it without adding to it as miner has done.. I'll work on some tonight after work.

I don't do animations, so I'll leave that to these talented people ;)

That signature one of vBHackers is too small, ugh

I LOVE this miner! Just capitalize admin and forums in the first frame and it's perfect imo.
I just really do not like that tagline beneath vBulletin-FAQ, I keep asking Joey to get John to change that, lol

You mean like my Motorcycle Forum Banners (http://www.riderinfo.com/forums/promote.html) page?

Poor John has been terribly busy with his job lately.

oh I understand that hun. It's a jpg, so if it's ok with John, I could change it. It's easy.
As you can see, I changed it for the banners I did

another addition

a little big peg - a standard size is 468x60 - But nice anyway

that is 468 x 60


EDIT.. sorry I forgot to resize... it's 478 x 70. It's not going to be much smaller

here's the 468 x 60

I thought about messing with this, but... screw it... I think you are totally on the right track as to what would work best.

Nice Work.

you can do it too, G... there's going to be an entire page of different banners and images

Ok Joey, i will redo the banner as suggested with different sizes later today...

Sorry this took a little longer than anticipated Joey, but this is based on a concept I did a few months ago. Shout if you like it and would want it worked on further...

ooohhh John I like that... but not the tagline

I know I know........ I'm working on getting myself in trouble, lol

I agree completely! It looks pretty good - needs touch up - Maybe more white on the right side - but its pretty good.

Thought I'd chuck in something. An old design and done a quick modification to the image. Not sure it's suits this type of forum though use it if you want. (below)

thats kinda cool -

Im looking for all types - so that people can use them on their own forum or website as they choose. SO a varieety is quite welcome.

i made this one it is very simple!

Hey - what about avatars? Anyone wanna make 2 or 3 of those?

That would be very difficult to do, at the size limit you have it set at. But will give it a try later

Ok - Here is the start of the page for the banners....

vBulletin FAQ Banners (http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/LinkMe.php)


Looking Good!


Here are a few sizes I think we need:

120x120
234x60
125x125

Also - I would LOVE to see some 468x60s that really are HOT and have some neat effects.

For example - the adwords banner has a cool look I think...

I still would really like one or two like this if someone would be so kind:

I look forward to seeing what you come up with Caddyman

BTW - You can find that page from the footer - or from the homepage...

I also look forward to seeing what you come up with Caddyman

Hey I like that semann!

someone needs to make a couple of "tower" banners

Nice work Semann.

?? tower banners ??


yeah... I could post an example, but it's rather... adult-ish
the standard tower (or vertical) banner is 120 w x 240 high

I made on too
222

ok I really LIKE this one... but you spelled customize wrong.

Perhaps the word graphics would be better there?

Here you go

NICE work on this animated banner, but there needs to be a space between the comma and the word Skins

VERY nice! I like

um, I should have said something before, sorry... is there any way to place a very thin border around the small one?

A simple way is if you're linking use HTML code to specifiy a board around linked images.

Once I get WDB off the ground, I'll be starting a computer help site.. one of these banners is going up! :)

yup I know about the html border. I'm just talking about putting a border around the image so there's one on it even if not linked.

Good luck on your computer site... noppid runs a very successful one as well

Is it me - ir is there an uneven line on the bottom?

Love the general look though.

errr -- this is a great start... But -- its very large (130k)

Maybe have the ball only travel with the "vbulletin faq" - instead of seperately. Also - how about "vBulletin" Skins, Styles and Graphics...

ok im gonna make those fixes includiung the lkine

You might want to use a pixel font. I find that using anti-aliased fonts on designs such as these look a little distorted due to it being crammed in suh a small area.

wich font do you recomend?

wich font do you recomend?Have a look on this free fonts page (http://www.fryfonts.com/?page=search&op=category&start=0&q=Bitmap%20Fonts) and perhaps select the 04b_20 - it's a very nice font!

Here's some (http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=301&page=1&af=on&text=REPLY) more free (http://members.surfeu.fi/zwak/fonts/freewareen20.html) font sites while we are at it :)

some great fonts there - thanks! :)

thanks John, I'm going to add these sites to the font list in Graphics Discussion

thank jhon bvery good fonts

UserBar!!

Kool - thanks! Installed!

Any more to add anyone??

i made a signature for forums... it fits exactly vB-FAQ size limit... i couldnt crunch it (optimize it) to fit the KB size limit... but i still attac it here

303

OH!! I LIKE that one!

if Joey increases the sig size like in 4 kb you could use it as your sig

naw I don't like to use images in my sig. I'll probably use it on another site tho
