Great use of these often under utilized and overlooked brushes AnMal.
I can't wait to see this GC banner in the banner rotation. (Hint, Hint)

Looks cool, but I don't like the faded edge of the background. Still it's a very cool looking banner.

I had it like that earlier, and thought the edge looked too hard. But, you're right, it does look better. Changed it back.

Thanks for the new banners, folks. They're all great.

I'll get them up in rotation soon.

Much better, but then again it's a matter of aesthetics, to each his/her own... :bigthup

Gnu Tux: thank you for putting the new banners up :)
molly: thanks :)
wallace: hehe, overlooked and under utilised is the word!
warrior: i really like the one that looks like your splash screen! funny how my thoughts about this differed on this one, though: first, i didn't like it when you took away the blur on the edges, i thought it looked too harsh. then i changed my mind and thought the hard edges were best. then i started thinking the blurred edges might be better anyway and if i were you i'd have cut off the piece that hangs under the bar - good thing it's not my banner, i would never have finished it! :hehe

Haha, I hear ya. So many options. Originally, I didn't have the edges blurred. But when I added it to the web page, I thought it looked harsh. Then I blurred the edges. The first time, I actually had an oval shape around the BG, with blurred edges, but it didn't look right to me, with part of the letters off the BG, and part on. Then I had a rounded corner rectangle selection around it, with blurred edges. Then I had a smaller rectangle selection around it. Then Wallace mentioned that it would look better without the blurred edge. So, I tried it again, and agreed, haha. :hehe

I think rounding the corners was the answer. Took the harshness off the edges, and goes with the round font better. ;)

With Wallace's new Red Pepper Brush, I had no excuse. So here is a use for the two most useless brushes, another banner. (thanks Wallace)

Thanks, appreciate it. I think the rounded corners were the answer to the harshness.
