Vote for your favorite Southperry banner!!!

I voted for 7, but all banners are quite ok for me, that is, except for number 6.

If it becomes number 6, I will personally add it to adblock... I hate the pinkbean crap, since it the most pomegranatety thing ever created in maple...

It's only purpose is to give the NX whores a goal in their life to even spend more NX to create their own pserver character in gMS to defeat pink bean in 30minutes...

No offense to the maker of number 6, the banner is made quite well, but I just hate Pink Bean... It has more to do with Meso Extraction from addicts then from Data Extraction where southperry.net is based on...

#1 was most enjoyable to me. I don't think SouthPerry should be srsbsns anyways, and with the way Fiel did things in terms on censoring, I felt that #1 fits that theme rather well. Though it wasn't as great as many others, I still thought that it fits SouthPerry as a whole. Not going to comment on the rest of them because:

a) I don't feel like it
b) Lazy ; see above
c) No point

This. I voted for #1. I like the idea, but i don't like the text style :S

About the #8, what One Piece has to do with Southperry? lol

Too bad i couldn't participate this time (was inactive here for ages) ;\

IMHO, #1 is beautifully done, and can be used for Southperry anniversary, but it is too in-jokey for regular use. It's one thing to greet unlurkers with "welcome to the land of chinchillas and pineapples", it's quite another to do it to every random visitor.

#8... well, we have lots of people with similar stuff in their siggies or avatars, so we can't pretend that sort of thing is too low-brow, too "basil" for Southperry. However, it does look more like a Nexon annoucement/ad header than a header for a "renegade website".

The plain text ones... They're all nice, but if we're going plain-text, might as well stick to the current banner. I don't see the point in change for change's sake. But I don't see any harm in rotating the lot of them every month or so for variety, either.

The Bean... yeah, I don't like it either (the bean, not the banner. Banner's fine, for what it's trying to do). Nexon use it too much.

#7... I really like the concept, and the execution looks fine standalone, but jarring on the page.
I do think something of that sort could work to be better than our current banner. Something to show we specialize in information.
How about: Show a monster in X-Ray or possibly HUD-style "target info display". Not Bean, please. I'd go with Orange Mushroom. What does a mushroom's X-Ray show? Maybe a Maple Leaf, then, though that's no monster.
(I totally lack any artistic ability, so anyone who feels like taking this idea is welcome to it)

I must say I do like number 1&7 the most,this will be a hard vote....

Number 1 is hilarious :]. It should get more votes :-[

7 seems too abrupt. 1 ftw

Why not stay with the banner we had before? It looked totally awesome IMO.

If I have to choose between the ones present here, then 4. I like solidity.

Why not stay with the banner we had before?

Because people don't read.

Did you actually expect me to read the whole thread? It's way too long.

You do realize this is a text-based forum?

I'm into vintage art so maybe 7 for me.

#2 is most simple, and I like simplicity. So I voted for 2.

1 needs more love.

Last day to vote.

If it has to change, I'd pick 7. However, I'd tweak it to have the same current font.

Last day to vote.

Can we see all submissions later?

Can we see all submissions later?

That's been answered twice already in this thread and at least once in the previous.

Sorry, but im....not to thrilled about any of them :c\ Design wise, the current one beats these imo.

Agreed. I'll vote anyways though:

1 - I love the chinchilla with a monocle. For some reason, the banner as a whole just doesn't appeal to me. The font also seems too...basic.
2 - Nice and simple.
3 - The best one, IMO. Good job on adding the shadow to make it stand out.
4 - 2nd place, if I could choose one. It might have looked a bit better if it was a gradient instead of a solid line through the middle of the text, but nice job nonetheless.
5 - Interesting font design, but it doesn't really appeal to me. s:
6 - I lol'd at Pink Bean. Otherwise, I didn't care for it.
7 - I could see this being expanded as a banner ad and put on websites (southperry banner ad on sleepywood, anyone? ), but as being the banner for the forum, it's just too loud with too many colors.
8 - I like the gradient effect. Having the random maplers makes me dislike it though. I prefer a banner with no maplers at all.

Only a matter of hours left to vote. Please make sure you cast a vote even if you don't particularly care for any of them. Remember, this is for FUN and we want to do more things in the future. Best of luck to all who participated.

ETA: I may not be able to close this at exactly midnight so it may stay up for votes until the morning. Since it is New Year's Eve and I have to work, I will probably be at work pretty late/early.
