As some of you know, SlipperyMooseCakes organised a contest a while ago, to make 88x31 icons to replace the previous ‘Link to NG’ ones. (link)
The competition was a great success (news post / Icon page), and I think there was always some consideration to update the 468x60 banners from Captain_Bob and SMC.
DannyIsOnFire did have the idea for such a contest shortly after the News post was made, (link) but he requested it’s lock due to the lack of preparation.
After a while I e-mailed Tom to see if he had received Danny’s e-mail, here was his response:
"I must have missed that email.... I'm down with it. I don't really have any specifications... I like seeing what people come up with!
-Tom"
The idea is to create a banner 468x60 that people can put on their websites.
Specifications and such
File Format: it can be either gif, jpeg, png or swf
Size: 100kb max, if this seems to ridiculous, it might change, but for now it’s 100kb
It must reflect the ‘new’ in Newgrounds and be related to NG.
So try and use the NG colour scheme, definitely use the header at the top of the page if you want to.
Please, for the love of god, don’t submit crappy MS paint jobs.
Animation and interactivity will be really good for these banners, so try and put in some effort there.
I can always download jpegs and gifs to show on this freewebs site, swfs however, i can't. So, if you make any flash entries, please e-mail them to canieatyourbrainstonight@hotmail.co.uk to make my life less of a hassle.
You can also use the e-mail address shown above to ask any questions.
Here are some examples of NG banners:
Animated swf. - bigexplosions
Detailed jpeg. - Turkeybean
