Eh, why can't the banners take the place of the site logo like back in the old days?

Hyperguy · « **Reply #2 on:** October 03, 2010, 03:26:03 pm »

Because I want to use larger banners this time around and I don't want to get rid of the site's header as many users are used to it already and it contains useful links.

OK I give up; where are the characters in that banner from? They look vaguely familiar...

I would also like to know what this Korean MMO is.

Hyperguy · « **Reply #5 on:** October 03, 2010, 11:33:31 pm »

It's neither Korean or an MMO. It's Yusha: You can't escape from the heroine! by Illusion. Basically, you play as a demon named Saga and have to ward off female RPG heroines who are trying to rape you to seal you away.

Anywho, I also am dissatisfied with the current banner placement. I'll switch the positions of the user info and the current banner's position.

Hyperguy · « **Reply #6 on:** October 04, 2010, 08:32:45 am »

There we go. Switched the user info and banner's position. Updated dimensions for banners also.

I like the new banner location. Now to generate a few.

I was having some trouble getting images in at 150 height, so I upped it some. Hopefully this'll make for some interesting banners.

Actually, at the size they're at it almost looks like you could fit a 4koma.

I'm interested in recreating some of the old banners.

JG · « **Reply #10 on:** October 05, 2010, 08:18:28 pm »

I'd like to create some, but sans title. If someone else wants to add that, I'll let them.

By the way, I demand the return of the "Girl gave you crabs?" banner. Classic.

bfg00 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2010, 09:59:03 pm »

Agreed, that was one of my all time favorites.

Will made that one. Should be easy enough to recreate though, as it's just a stray CG image from Resort Boin and accompanying text.

Or was it from regular Boin? In any case, it's definitely a Happo Bijin CG set.

I actually lost most of the PSD files for the older banners, though most of them are simple enough that remaking them isn't too hard.

Personally I'd like to focus on making newer ones. At the same time, there's some that were so good the first time around that I want to make updated versions at least.

Feel free to recreate any of the older ones though.

JG · « **Reply #13 on:** October 06, 2010, 03:29:23 pm »

Its from original Boin, not Resort Boin.

JG · « **Reply #14 on:** October 08, 2010, 10:47:54 pm »

Here's a few I came up with. Hoping someone will take it the rest of the way and add some fancy looking text.

First is "wrong button" - our old Tokemeki Check-In favorite.

Second is an Akira+Karin WTF. Supply your own punchline.

The last two are versions of the same image I came across while finding the above Boin image and thought it would make a good banner. I call it "Congress Of Awesome, It's like a punch to the face". The first is better centered but the second is probably better for having the title and punchline on the left.

I hope that someone isn't me

Here's my take on an old banner (will add congress of awesome later). Didn't realize that picture of Rika ain't big enough to fill the width limit. Rather than stretch it i came up with some new material; i'm open to suggestions cause i ain't quite the comedian HyperG is.

JG · « **Reply #16 on:** October 10, 2010, 07:26:28 am »

It's missing the original punchline for the in-stock result: "But that's not the same game at all! Guess I'll keep looking..."

Moge · « **Reply #17 on:** October 10, 2010, 03:19:53 pm »

Ugh. Those banner dimensions had better be final Hyperguy. Do not like the fact i had to stretch out the banner i've been working on. This is the final revision.

JG · « **Reply #18 on:** October 10, 2010, 04:57:06 pm »

Thumbs up on the revised version.

Moge · « **Reply #19 on:** October 10, 2010, 09:00:24 pm »

Okay, this really is the final revision. I hate being a perfectionist
