Design a Classicamiga Banner and/or Logo

Variations of the current classicamiga forum banner has been with us since the start of classicamiga, back in 2001. Making it 8 years old! Therefore I feel it is time to update it.

I'm therefore inviting everyone to have a go at redesigning the forum banner.

Requirements
The only requirement is that the main classicamiga.com name logo is kept the same and remains as a part of all designs. Other than that you can do whatever you wish.

Do I need to be good at designing/drawing?
No, you don't need to be good at designing. If you have some ideas then sketch them down and send them to me. I can flesh them out and create a final design from your ideas.

However if you can create some finished designs that would be great!

What do I win?
If they are good, then your banners and logos will be used on classicamiga. The prize is seeing your work live on the site. :)

I will also give all members who contribute some designs a special trophy in their profile to show they contributed to the designs.

Final designs
If I get enough cool designs then I will setup a banner rotator on the forum so everyones banners can load into the site randomly each time you visit. A bit like Pouet.net does.

So please get designing, and remember, your ideas don't have to be finished designs. They can be a list of ideas you have that I can use to create different designs, sketches, a collection of image files and notes. Anything you can think of. All ideas and input into the logo and banner designs will be very useful.

:lol: I guessed you would before I even posted the thread. ;)

And don't worry, I am planning to finally include it! Not sure about the Workbench boarder though. Think it would be better without it. Do you have a version?

I don't have a version without the workbench border, but it can be removed/cropped easily. But I like the workbench border.

Anyways, you will have to make a poll when there are a lot of banners, which of course I doubt. Or just make a with/without workbench border poll about mine :)

You don't think there will be a lot of entries for the contest? Just wait until I flood the competition with my lame-ass logos made in Paint. ;) I'll even use the fantastic "spray-can" option to make it real cool.

(On the serious side.. I'll try to put together a couple of logos myself. I'm thinking something Demoscene orientated. ;))

Some Demoscene orientated ones would be great.

I'm glad I have the artistic talent of an amoeba because that way I can't be humiliated in this comp.:lol:

Here it is without the border, but only to mention, the one with the border has exactly the same size than the existing one on the main page.

Harrison, do you have more banners?

Yep, only two so far. Although the forum did go down right after starting this comp so I wasn't expecting any really until everything was back up and running.

The whole board is pretty quite at the moment. Hopefully we can get some life back into it very soon. All ideas very much welcome.
