CountryMB Ad Graphics - Paying heavily

[Geoffrey]

Type of Graphic: Ad Graphics, signatures, buttons, userbars, whatever you want to make.
Size in pixels: Use your judgment for what you're making.
Type of payment: FP$
Link to forum or screenshot: http://countrymb.com
Colour scheme: Match the theme or just make it a country-ish theme.
Text / Subtext on image: CountryMB on all of them, put sub lines like County Music Discussion or Country Music Forum on some but that's not necessary if it doesn't fit the graphic.
Link to images (if applicable): You can use guitars, singers, etc. that fit, but they aren't required.
Notes?: I'll take as many as I can get, but they do need to be decent quality.

Thanks!

Yeah, username is gakoester1 though I don't know why you need it...

I'd like to know what you think of these, if you like them, I can make any more any size, etc. If you want anything changed, I can do that too. Up to you. I thought I'd let you see a few before I made a million and you hated them all 😉

So, what do you think? Anything I can change to make it better?

 

[Geoffrey]

I like them, but the text is bugging me on both.

On the userbar - maybe remove the stroke and use a lighter text color?

On the larger image - the inset drop shadow isn't really working, though I see why you did it because of the theme banner. Maybe remove it and make that text a lighter color too?

By lighter colors, I mean like off white (not #fff) or something. Or something just to make it readable.

I will work on them tonight, later. Yes, I was trying to make them fit with the theme which is why I did the inset shadow.

IM is always better when it comes to discussing graphics 🙂

How are those? If you like them, I can make other sizes with different symbols and such.

A banner ad for you, made it similar to your site's logo to keep with the theme.

Aly: I'm sorry, but I'm not really liking either of those. Not really sure what it is about them, but they aren't standing out to me too much. :/

Flux: I like it, but could you make it 468x60 (instead of 59) so it's a standard size? If it's too much trouble it's fine as is. Also, is there not a border on it? I can't really see one, but I could just be blind.

Sorry about that, I don't know why it was only 59.

There isn't a border; would you like one?

 

[Geoffrey]

Nah, it works. Thanks.

Sending you some FP$ now.

 

[jdab]

Thanks 😀 I can do more if you wish.

 

[Geoffrey]

Go ahead.
