Banner Contest – Vote On It!

View Comments

• I do like the #1. You can do something like I was when I was using the MistyLook theme, and it’s to have a image picked at random on every page load. Not a great idea if you are trying to create a brand image, but good if you like all of the images!
  Just drop this into your header.php file:

  .jpg" alt="SOMETHING CLEAVER" />
  You need to name all of the files header_1, header_2 and so on. The code will randomly pick an image (between the numbers 1 through 6) and display it! If you add a seventh image, change the the code at the end:

  Hope this helps!

• Thanks for the piece of info…if not now, that might come in handy later…thanx!

  • No problem, I see that the entire code was removed by Wordpress - if you’ve interested at any point just let me know!

• Hi,
  Is it too late to put my entry in

  I wanted to get this done yesterday but just got stuck with something else.
  I would be real happy if you could add it to your poll.
  Thanks

  • Ali,
    Unfortunately it is too late to add your banner to the poll but I will add an update in a few minutes with your banner for our readers to comment on, but if we were to add it to the poll, all current votes would be erased, which wouldn’t be fair.
    I happen to really like your work. Thanks.

• I vote for banner #4.
  Is it me or does banner #1 have a copyright violation as it clips a scene from a movie?

  • Steve,
    Hopefully you saw the voting poll on the right sidebar. But thanks for letting us know what you like

    • I was thinking the same thing.

      • Every media company I can think of offers free stock photos or media kits for people to use.

        • I was thinking the same thing about the copyright infringement.

• What’s wrong with your current banner??? I love this designer, can we have his contact info? Give him the 50 bux!!!!!

  • Current banner is great! We wanted to get everyone involved with a contest, so we figure this would be a great way.
    If you email me, I’ll give you his info…he’s a great guy but dropped the ball with this contest JK, I don’t want to piss him off…hehe

• haha i just sent you my second submission… it looks cleaner than my first submission.. if it has time to be squeezed in that’d be awesome!

• I’ll reserve voting until I get home. There are some excellent submissions here. I’m leaning toward #2, VERY professional looking and very well done.
  Your original banner resonates a dab of professionalism with just the right blend of intimacy as well. Banner #2 thoroughly drips ‘professionalism’. (I still love the original, so this will be a tough one
  By the way, your sidebar has dropped down in Internet explorer to below your content (probably because of the banner widths). So IE visitors will need to go fishing in order to cast their votes.

  • Jennifer,
    I’m having the same trouble in deciding. I like our current banner, but I also like some of the submissions…gonna be a tough one!
    Thanks for bringing up IE…For those running IE6, the sidebar appears at the very bottom of all the content, so you have to scroll down after you know what banner you like.
    IE7 users are fine, the sidebar appears where it is supposed to be. Not sure why the different versions of IE see this site differently, but it happens.
    Thanks,

• Jennifer,
  I like the fourth one because it has a feeling of a boardroom waiting to be filled with tomorrows professionals… like myself. The current banner looks like the girl has a tumor on her left arm.

  • I like the empty board room idea…creative

• Hey Jane,
  Hmmm… definitely the current one - it’s professional but with a personal touch - cute, fun, and warm.
  And the girl is looking right at you, that’s great. I think you’re best off with a banner showing people, but ideally not too big corporate looking, not too sterile.
  Have an awesome day!
  Dan

• I would vote for banner #2.
