Plus the new ones that haven't been used yet. I count 38 total. I think at least one of those wasn't finished yet though.

Here's my POVRay rendered banner:

It started in GIMP as two separate files with the text in them and I used my POVRay scene file generating script. Merged the two resulting scene files, then rendered it. Finally I tweaked the render in GIMP, adding the drop shadow.

Thanks man, appreciate it. The ribbon around the bar was quite a pain.

Mine too. I came up with the idea a few days ago, decided to give it a whirl.

I love it. I guess that ribbon would be a pain..did you use the bezier pen tool to do that.

The ribbon banner is cool. I like the way it wraps around the divider. Very creative!

All the new banners are up. 40 total, rotating every 3 minutes.

Thanks. You're not gonna believe how I did the ribbon, haha. I have some brushes that look like stitching. I made a set, lining it up end to end, shrunk the height of it to be slightly larger than the bar, then erased the parts I didn't want. I'm sure there would have been an easier way of doing it, but that's all I could come up with. Here's the stitching I used to start with:

Click above in the bare spot to see it.

Wow that is very cool. I must try it. BTW, how did you make that clickable thing transparent?
