Looking for link buttons and banners

[Munro]

Think you got good graphics skills? Want to try and make us some advertisment banners and link buttons? No huge prizes I'm afraid but I will give the ability to have a custom title on these forums and an image in your sig to the 3 best entries

Buttons must be 88x31 pixels in size

an example:

 

[Nostradamus]

Sure
what sizes, and should they be animated or what?
any colo schemes you wanna stick to?

 

[Munro]

Any colour schemes orange would be nice though They can be still, animated, or anything you want.

banners: 468x60 pixels.

My english sucks today so i didn't understand a shit but i tried to make 2 pics anyway

I hate t make small buttons and so on , so this looks crappy

Well here is the ugly awfull ____ pics :afro:

And here is the ugly banner

 

[aliencowboy]

I'll make one later on tonight...

 

[Nostradamus]

did something..but im not really happy with it...oh well

<---- this is animated a BIT

state your opinion

 

[Munro]

Nostradamus I love the link button not sure about the animation in it though And the third banner is great although really it could do with some colour

Keep them coming!

There's something I whipped up.

I think the 2 needs to be white in order to appear a little more obvious.

What do you think Munro?

EDIT: Added Gordon banner -- 1102

 

[kastro]

i just remade the half life 2 logo so if anybody wants to use it to help make a banner theyre more than welcome.

its in .psd format so you can copy the logo to whatever you want(its transparent all around the logo so you can put it on top of something real easy)

have fun

I like those loque, and Evil's are nice too. I would whip open photoshop, but alas, i suck at it, unless you want a lot of grids

 

[LaffaNomics]

[LaffaNomics]

Was going to do that post then delete it but you cant do that on this forum If a mod see's this can you please delete this post and my other one.

 

[djkanuk]

Didn't see this thread when I posted the new one about link buttons. Are we any closer to a decision on the choice? There are some nice ones here. Thought I'd throw my hat in the ring while I was at it.

 

[djkanuk]

Now with an equally mediocre banner. Seriously.

 

[Deacon]

just made 3 buttons dunno if am too late
am just learning photoshop so nout special just thought i would share

they are slightly diffrent not much though
plz give me your views

 

[djkanuk]

Very nice buttons, Deacon. Crisp and clean. Only comment is that they're not "halflife2.net" buttons so much as general "half-life 2" buttons, so it wouldn't be clear where they link to.

 

[Deacon]

yeh i was having trouble wif fitting the .net on the logo
with it being so small i can't make the text smaller other wise it owuld be unreadable

 

[khaki]

I tried to go with the site's color scheme / design with these.

88x31

468x60

That's always the biggest challenge in designing buttons and icons for the web.
