AnMal, Wallace and molly, thanks for the nice comments

@AnMal, indeed it was this tutorial that inspired me to make the banner.

I wanted to toss out a request for some alternatives to our current banner. While I really like the current banner and it was a team effort by the Charter Members to create, it would be cool to have other alternatives to rotate it and out.

The current banner is 930px wide and 200px tall. Any new banner should also be this exact size, as well. Any banner should include the site's motto; "Where Imagination Meets Innovation".

We could also have variations of the current banner for holidays and other special occasions. Currently, we have only one other variation for Christmas.

I'm attaching the xcf file for the current banner for anyone who would like to create a variation. Here is a the original thread where the banner was initially created.

Please see this post for a complete explanation of how to create a banner that will integrate seamlessly into Gimp Chat

Thanks in advanced to anyone who would like to participate!

It has been a while since we changed the rotation of banners. It would be cool to get some new banners from the members so there will be new ones posted.
What do y'all think guys and gals? anyone want to make some new ones? We have so much talent here that they would all have their own personal stamp.
Maybe after there is enough Omega will hopefully put them up for us.

I think that's a great idea Molly.
Here's a new GC banner I came up with.
That was inspired by Norseman's Art Deco thread.

Wow Wallace, that is beautiful. If we get enough quality banners like this we may end up with enough for a whole new rotation... kudo's

Thanks Molly
You may not have noticed, but I put my name somewhere on the banner.
Can you find it?

That's right Molly!
I should have made it smaller.

Warrior, if you read the very first post in the banner challenge that Tux posted, he gave all the directions in that post. Anything you are stuck with, just post and one of us will get you going.

I am sure you will make a great one. :bigthup

Very pretty Sallyanne, the colors remind me of the frigid weather we are experiencing here right now.
