All right, apparently a lot of you use the old Midnight/Metal skins still, so it's time to update the banners for them!

(RIP Villager banner that's been there for over a year).

The rules are as follows:

1. You may submit as many banners as you'd like. No size is specific and they can be left aligned, centered, or even take up the full screen. If you imagined your banner being on a specific skin, then feel free to suggest it. Just don't make them too big or small and try to make sure they would be attractive on the themes. For reference, the default size of the old banners are 350x120.
2. We would prefer that the banner themes stay video game related. Nintendo games (especially ones we have sections for, are always a safe bet). You may use the original SS logo if you'd like (http://i.imgur.com/zdtI6Ru.png), but it is completely optional and there are no creative limitations onto what content, names, or lack of names appear.
3. Please don't credit yourself on the image directly. We will be certain you are recognized for your designs.

After all submissions are accounted for (this thread will stay open for a week or two), it will be decided which banners will win and be featured on the website!

Each person who submits a banner that wins will be awarded with 300 forum points.

You may submit your images in this thread now! Non-artists, feel free to like and comment on banners you would like to see. Any other discussion on what we should do with banners in general is free to continue in this thread.

Well this is what i came up with using pixlr:

http://i.imgur.com/7okcfta.jpg

Well this is what has been done: It has been resized, scaled, added some color with less 50% that makes it see through and having lots of effects added to it. Background and Source Material Super Smash Bros 3Ds Boxart.

I am not great on explaining but that is all i have done.

So its 300 for each banner won? So if I submit two banners and they both win, it's 600 points?

Aaron

Since the rules say "Each person who submits a banner that wins will be awarded with 300 forum points." I would assume each member can get no more than 300 points, since it says anyone that submits a banner that wins, as opposed to each banner a person submits that wins will be awarded 300 points. I could be wrong, but that's what I took from it.

Zachgoose

Probably just 300 points for winning once. You'll get some kind of smaller bonus for winning multiple times, and everyone who submits a serious submission will also be rewarded even if they don't win.

Also, I would like to note that since the site, when in a resized browser window, does not scale.
The banner should not be bigger than 915x132 because on a 12.1 inch laptop screen (one of the smallest PC screens) with a resolution of 1024x768, it is as wide as it can go.
If a banner is bigger than about 915x132, then it would get cut off on such a small screen.

Midnight White (Should look sexy on metal skins too!)

I have higher resolution verisons of all the images if you need them. If you guys really like my midnight black/white banner, I can also *attempt* to add color to them so they blend better with midnight blue/red/green etc or recolor the wings.

If it's a banner that was created 100% by someone else you would need to get their permission. Images or pictures that you've taken as a base and then edited are fine.

I think anyone with Hakuiin in their username should automatically be declared winner.

Midnight Pink: http://i.imgur.com/CzkWefA.png

(Just as a note, the source for the midnight red image said they got it off google and I couldn't find the source. I think the account that posted it was deleted or something. All others are either Ken Sugimori art or Dream World art)

I'll post Metal Logos over the weekend

Guess I might as well dump this old one here:

Obviously it needs to be scaled down a bit and imo the text color needs to be a bit more contrast-y, I'll touch it up later. And probably make a few more.

Yay, you guys finally started.

Too bad my school blocks all images.


EDIT: Found a way around that, and also Chris, X, and Marissa are so far the best competitors. The others just don't seem to fit with the style of the themes. I'll probably give this a shot sometime.

Also, are there any of the current banners that are on the midnight/metal skins that people do NOT want to be replaced? Speak now or forever lose your Lucina. :^)

If Chris is going to win multiple banners, I would much rather keep some of our already existing ones (Ninetales and Lucina, specifically) because the background is going to get too repetitive.

Its repetitive already.

Midnight Green/Blue/Black/Yellow/Purple/Red/Pink share the exact same banner.

Since 7/9 midnight banners are the exact same, what are you complaining about?

I believe the community as a whole should decide what banners to keep the same and not the people who say to keep a banner in this thread.

Also, Nayu should enter one of his sigs into the contest. They look really hot.

Aww, poor Pikachu can't come to the (S)NES party!

I liked the idea of retro for metal skins, so I hope you don't mind if I snatch it! It works on most metal skins, but I took Metal Red for the base, if that counts.
