Seems a bit mean, I say let them vote and just don't let them vote for their own

To do that would to be explicitly go against the rules I set out in the first post, which would be really bad form only a day and a half from closing the competition. Best stick to the plan, I feel.

The winner will be chosen by vote by the Moderators and Administrators, not including any Mod or Admin who enters the competition. In the event of a tie in the choice, the final choice will go to me (as I'm the one building the site). This vote will (aim to) close 22:00 GMT on Friday 8th February 2008.

entry 2:

meh, something else i made up. Tried to focus more on the hub, rather than gaming specifically, and just took some of the titles from the current hub. The style can be redone depending on the options there, and the 'text+icon' feel could be incorporated into a menubar underneath also.

But im going out in 10 mins and not dressed yet :p, so was a little bit of a bodge job nearer the end, but thats the kinda gist.

off to london :-D

Loving the more clear less, garbled looks of Tetsuo's and Wol's attempts I must admit.

At the end of the day its a banner to say who we are and best to have that clear.

But overall good work guys :D.

Really nice Tetsuo! What you could do, if you want the names, is just have them sort of glimpse through the black part (maybe that's already done? I haven't read the whole thread), maybe a bit like this:

if you see what I mean. It's easy and you can make the text just barely readable, so it doesn't detract from the minimal feel of the banner.

I remember thinking you were a skinhead from that picture of your eye Doc :D.

Little did I know how wrong I was :D :D D:

Sure, Doc, good idea! I was wondering what to do with all that plain black real estate, I'll give that a try when I get home

The window for entries to the competition is now closed.

Thank you for all the entries, discussion and hard work on the part of all the participants! I'll be setting up the voting behind the scenes and I hope to announce a winner tomorrow evening.

Now I'm not an adimn or anything myself, but if my vote counts for anything I would like to throw my vote behind Wol's second entry. :)

I'll leave this thread open to allow community members to have their own popularity vote but the official vote is going on in the Admin/Mod private area.

Well, the first post says all entries to be made before 12:00 Thursday 7th, so since I made this yesterday, but didn't have the internet to upload it, I'm submitting it :) Plus, I said to DocBot that I'd be making it, anyway:

I was in a hurry, I was making an edited version with more names but stupid photoshop crashed and I said to myself 'fuckit'. I can add more names later if need be, this ones just to give the general idea

That is what I wrote but not what I meant. I'll be sure to say "submitted" in future.

There's a discussion going on as to the next steps after the competition; are we just putting one of these banners straight up or are we choosing a design and then asking for a polished/tweaked final?

I'm currently leaning towards the design choice side of things; no final direction has been decided as yet, however. Given that, I'm not updating the Admin/Mod vote with Tetsuo's banner update but it's worth hanging on to regardless in case that design wins.
