Banner please ;)

[Victim]

Type of graphic : banner
Size of graphic: 350 x 140
Text: Extreme Forum Promotion
Font(s): font used in default banner (which can be seen @ http://superforumpromotion.forumotion.com/)
Colour scheme: same colour scheme as the default logo (dark greyish background with green text
Images*: No images, just base it off the default banner
Forum/Website Link: http://superforumpromotion.forumotion.com/
Notes: Make the text quite large, but not TOO large, i'd like the text to be green, but for the E to be the light blue from the default logo, aswell as the F and the P so it should be:

Extreme Forum Promotion

But lighter green and lighter blue (the colours from the default banner on the forum)

If you need more info, just ask.

I'm almost finished. I think you might like the results I'm pulling on this one.

Ok. GIMP crashed and I only saved it like half way through, so I spent most of that time recreating it.

How's this?

So how do you like it? If you wanted me to make it bigger, it can take up the whole background of your board.

 

[Victim]

That's awesome, i've uploaded it as the banner on the forum, take a look at it.

Any chance you can make it large so it takes up the whole of that banner space and can u edit it slightly so that you can see the whole of the E on the extreme word.

Also, is there any chance u can remove that globe too after the E has been edited and show me it with and without the globe (maybe position the word Forum in the center when the globe is removed)? As i'm not sure whether it would look better with or without that globe thing. If you can then don't worry about it

Thanks in advance.

 

[Lordanzer]

Just as I feared.

I scaled it up without the Globe thingy and now the quality has dropped tenfold.

Sample:


It's no good, I have to redo it now.

 

[Lordanzer]

Ok. I remade the banner. This time the width is 900, so it will at least look good being on your board even if it still isn't long enough.

I made two different versions...

Let me know if these aren't cutting it for you.

 

[Victim]

EDIT:

Right, I've made the image size much bigger but when i upload it as the logo, it doesn't seem to stretch the width any higher than it already is, only the height, anyway, i have an idea..

Can you make it so that the green and blue lines are removed (so it doesn't look like the banner ends) and can you make it so that it's the same font, but every word in the same font and for it to be positioned like this:

Extreme
             Forum
                        Promotion

So the forum word is in the middle and the other two words are on each side of the banner, also the colour of the background on the logo doesn't match the colour of the background on the forum so you know when the banner ends, any chance you can match the colour, or get one very similar?

Thanks in advance, and sorry about all this.

 

[Lordanzer]

I can tell you what is making this so difficult. The lines go to the end of the image. If it was just a small flowing emblem or a few lines that went through with the text for decoration, then you wouldn't be able to tell and you could still keep the flow. I'll still do what you just asked for, but let me know if you change your mind on anything.

Plus, changing the font of the word "Promotion" to match the others would be easiest, so should I do that or change the fonts of the other two words?

 

[Victim]

Hi, feel free to add some decoration but i'd like it so that you cant tell when the banner ends, and for that it needs to be the exact same colour as the background of the forum or very similar, so if you can do that then feel free to add decoration but please ensure you wont be able to tell where the banner ends when it's uploaded onto my forum.

Just change the font of the word "Promotion" to the font of the other words, thanks.

 

[Lordanzer]

Ok. This time it's perfect. I'm pretty confident about this one. The only thing is that I couldn't get the green and blue lines out completely, although I don't know why.

This should be great for us both.

 

[Victim]

Hi,

that's good, colour on the background is perfect.

But..

- If you check the logo, the quality of the text gets worse on the "Promotion" word, any chance you can fix that?
- Make the word "Forum" straight, so it's not slanted and so it's exactly in the middle between "Forum" and "Promotion"
- Remove the decoration, please, or keep the decoration and post one with it and without it.

After all that, it should be done, thanks.

Sorry for being so picky 😛.

 

[Victim]

Is this in progress?

Only needs a few minor tweaks and it should be OK, any chance another graphics team member could complete it if LordA cant?

 

[Lordanzer]

It wasn't very easy.

I had to deal with several things happening that I'm not entirely willing to share about at the moment.

I'm sorry my life had to inconvenience you so much.

If you're absolutely fed up with my inability to imagine this thing the way you do, then just go ahead and get me off the job.

Did i say that your life caused me inconvenience? Don't believe i did.

Anyway, thank you for your work, take the required amount of cash (whoever takes it).

I'll see if i can get someone else to finish it off.
