GIMP Chat Banner Challenge

Cool new banners, folks. Now I've got 31, which doesn't divide equally.

I think y'all are right about the first Theatre Marquee being more realistic so I'll go with that one. I did create a neon tux to replace the graphic tux.

I like your all neon concept, ofnuts. There could be a little more of a tube with a glow effect, which would make it a bit more realistic. Also, adding the site slogan "Where Imagination Meets Innovation" would be a nice addition.

I found a couple of neon tube fonts that are kinda cool.

This one is beautiful!!!

[molly]

I love that one too, very professional looking.

[AnMal]

the new ones are all great! especially pegleg's, so well made, but i like the marquee (yeah, the orange one!) and the café neon sign too.

So, what you're saying, is, we need one more, hint hint?

Prime numbers have their benefits...

heres something that i made tonight
its pretty minimalistic for my standards i guess, but i think a GC banner must be simple

Matter of taste I will see what I can do.

Also, adding the site slogan "Where Imagination Meets Innovation" would be a nice addition.

The neon look doesn't work well with small characters and your slogan is quite long...

Originally I wanted to use engraving fonts but Gimp 2.8 doesn't support them. One of these fonts isn't free and the other one isn't that nice.

The banner is pretty wide @ 930px and you could shorten it to "Imagination Meets Innovation"

Do you still need more? I could offer one

[GnuTux]

Yes, we could use a few more. 40 banners will allow for rotating a new banner every 3 minutes over a two hour period.

Here's another one...

Here is a concept (old theatre marquee) I've been playing with. Not sure how good it is, though.



I can't decide which is better. Although, the last one probably fits better with the site's color scheme.

With this one, that makes 4 new ones. We need 2 more to make 30 banners, which will allow me to rotate a new one every 4 minutes for two hours.

I could use a couple from the original thread than was never placed into rotation, There are a couple of good ones there that wasn't used.

I like the orange one most of all.

Oooo, me likes.

Nice looking banner Esper.

Nice work everyone. Another I just finished. Again, shouldn't really need the xcf, as I used the site's header background:

[GnuTux]

I kinda need the xcf or I need a banner with a transparent background. I've ran into previous issues where the background provided didn't perfectly color match the site's background. If the site's background color changes slightly, it won't match up either.

Oh, okay, I'll add them then.

EDIT: Added

[The Warrior]

Took advantage of the Pack Sprite filter. Plain, but okay. Looks better on the background.
