Ideas for New banner graphics

[Konair]

So I contacted Nianyas err rather merlu hehe
from http://www.nianyasdesigns.com/requests

I am willing to cough up at least 50 bucks for the artwork but of course we need to toss some ideas around for her to work with so what do you guys want to see

Reply from merlu

Yeah I can do it. Just let me know what is wanted. I'll keep checking the thread as well and see what we can do for a cool banner.

well looks like i'll have to get this started lol

-Weapon graphic like the old board had ( always was a fan of the split blade you would think epics but i was never a huge fan of the 1.5/2.0 graphic)

-Race of warrior -

- maybe a coat of arms

- maybe one of our gods ( rallos is still one of my favs but i'll stay impartial here)

- warrior in combat ( delivering the final blow to some uber boss)

-good ole warrior with a beer in one hand and a goddess in the other ( no troll or oger goddess plz or i'll have to gouge my eyes out )


just tossing some stuff around

I think that somewhere on anothr computer I have the original TSW logo (which iconisation is still viewable in the url line). If I can dig it, I will link it here so that we can use it as a base for a restilised version.

Im all for that Yoda!

I fear change....
Except for upgrades.

well, I hadn't time to dig it up, but something has to be clear... the banner comes AFTER the templates.... we first have to find one or two templates for free so that we get a general color for the background. AND ONLY THEN we will change the banner... because having a black banner on a very deep grey background is really stupid.

this is a community board, no need to be wellknown or whatever here to have idee. find templates, post them here or PM them to me. Then I will make a vote to pick up the default one, and one or two other.
if nobody do it, we will keep the current templates.


thank you for your help,
Yoda.

[Konair]

agree with yah there bud i did some hunting for templates but haven't found any good freebies to post yet as for everyone else yoda is right don't be scared to toss some ideas around hell this isn't the sk forums lol there will be no flaming of each others ideas here

Red and Black classic Ezboard Template, with the old logo would be so sweet~

[Yoda]

ok... bad news : the old EZB logo is on my PC that stayed in France when I moved, so I don't have them anymore. I will check if thery are still on this board.


edit : can't find it... if someone find it, free beer for him.

Just checked, and www.archive.org has some. Are we talking the triangle looking one?

I'll post a copy when I get home.

Oh, hey, cut-n-paste on my phone works on the new boards!

[Kazpin]

attaching it so it's totally saved here.

[Detheb Ultimaweapon]

Yessssss

[Varalla]

Wow Cyrz! You friggin rock!

I had saved an old image with that logo with a pie chart on it but couldnt find it for the life of me.
How did you find it? I tried every search engine!

(F.Y.I, there are LOTS of "The Steel Warrior" images out there that have ZERO to do with us LOL)

Edit: Just donned on me. When did we switch from red & Black to that golden grayish thing we've been using for so long?
Some of the regs probably weren't even around back then. We had that puke looking theme for a loooong time.

Hopefully a new (retro) color scheme coming soon -- this is just amateur.

Thanks Raaj! You rock!
