Community Contest : Fortress Forever banner design !


I plan buying a banner ad on a well-known website forum, frequented by many a geek and gamer, totalling a community a tad shy of 90.000.

Design it.

The theme of the banner is obviously the impending release of FF, which you have to hype to the best of your abilities. It's not a gamer-only website, so you'll have to be specific about the fact that this is a HL2 mod, etc..

You can submit as many banners as you want.

Banner ads are required to be exactly (respectively width and height) 468x60 and a max of 30KB.

I'll put on a poll for you guys to decide which one is the best and most worthy of use.

When the winner will be determined and as soon the release of Fortress Forever is confirmed and close, I'll buy a banner spot and put it on rotation.

The ad will run for 30 days.

The winner will get eternal respect and admiration from the community.

Go !

Yes. It is recommended, although you can create a static piece of art - just do the best you can.

When the contest will close (this will depend on the amount of submissions, wether there are still people finishing their work, and the effective FF release date), I will create another thread with all the pieces of art, and a poll. The poll will run for a few days (probably around a week), at which point the winner will be decided.

That would be cool, although I guess this isn't something I can decide. Devs ? The ball is in your camp

It's the Something Awful forums.

No. The banner has to be a regular image file, a gif being the best choice.

sure, actually it's preferred if you want it to catch the eye, but if you want to make a static image then go for it, just do your best

By the time the winner is chosen, shouldn't beta testing almost be at a close? Shouldn't FF pretty much be ready for release?
