Proove it.
 
What are the dimensions of the current one?

Nevermind...
 
Yeah, I like the dynamic size of the current one. But of course this means that there has to be empty areas and stuff. Choices, choices ....

Unless someone can make the picture centered and crop the edges for when the banner window is smaller. Something to think about.

I don't think cutting a banner in two to allow "dynamic" size is a feature to worry about.

So, is there going to be a contest thread after all the participants have entered their work? And are multiple entries accepted?

I say we leave it up to Munro or someone. And a proper competition with a deadline and elimination, with the last few being voted upon would be nice, but I doubt we would get that kind of participation.
 
Well I'm happy to enter if the competition is being held, I think we'd get a few more participants if the contest was announced on the frontpage.
 
Well I suppose I should go ahead and show my try.
Edit - Revised

Of course it is. That banner you posted below wouldn't even fit to the width of my screen. There'd be a gap to the right since it's too small.
 
It should suit the site's syle, and that one dosn't.
 
Maybe not but its still very nice, even if its just a screenshot from the game
 
Its very good but its too distracting and bold for me, the top of the site needs to be abit, erm... mellow, to give the actual content the emphasis, not the banner.
 
-nodnod-

What he said... although that one was pretty awesome.
 
I'm not trying to say mine is the ultimate choice, I'm just trying to instigate some more participation. I'd like to definitely see a new banner.

im making mine with crayons
Stop trying to draw on your monitor, it doesn't work, trust me!

we're definitive?

We were at one point, not even close anymore though...

edit: It's time to put down the Neopets...
 
That's a bit too radical. But chances are nothing will ever change around here.
 
So... we got three candidates:

well they're all nice.. but.. not to HL.net.. don't know why
..uhm..
but i like number #2 the most...
 
They look good, but who knows if they're good to be a banner. I'll get my friend to make something in mspaint, lol. He's actually pretty good at it, but I don't think it will look good enough for a banner.
 
if were gonna have a contest, i only have paint, someone got any info on a free drawing program that i can download or sumthin?
