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. http://www.fonts2u.com/beon-medium1.font http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/flat-it/ht-neon/ |

One of these fonts isn't free and the other one isn't that nice. |

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

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.

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

Post subject: | Re: GIMP Chat Banners |
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. |

Took advantage of the Pack Sprite filter. Plain, but okay. Looks better on the background. ![]() |
