A new site banner for The Greenhouse?
So we are considering a new banner for 2011 for The Greenhouse. The current design is fantastic, but it is also a fairly large image in terms of bytes... So if you have suggestions for a new banner... and/or would like to design a new one... this is the place to post your proposals. Or if you'd like to keep the current one, again, give us the feedback.
For those designing a proposed new banner, all we ask is that they use the GH logo, incorporate THEGH.COM.AU URL and the site slogan... THE NUMBER ONE CANBERRA RAIDERS SUPPORTERS WEBSITE
And the banner needs to be 740X120 pixels. Remember it needs to fit the current site colours as well, as we won't be changing the phpbb skin for the site.
If we do use a banner submitted, all rights transfer to the site.
And here are high resolution versions of the site logo for use:

Call it off Freddo has nailed it.
Re: A new site banner for The Greenhouse?
I think we're going to leave this open over a fair bit of the off season. Lots of time yet! Plus if people want to make suggestions eg images to use, that would be welcome.whatwhat wrote:Call it off Freddo has nailed it.

Re: A new site banner for The Greenhouse?
I'm all for the idea of getting rid of the .gif, personally, I've blocked it from showing up because it slows the rest of the GH down while its loading.
Might have a crack at doing one at a later date. I think it looks somewhat strange having real things and stylistic elements together in the banner, kind of like Space Jam with Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny side by side.

It's also 121 frames long - looks pretty swish with smoothish animation, but sadly it's so huge.freddo wrote:well the previous banner is 8meg big. hence why its time for a new one.Sterlk wrote:I'm all for the idea of getting rid of the .gif, personally, I've blocked it from showing up because it slows the rest of the GH down while its loading.

I wouldn't mind a different .gif along the lines of what we already have: 5 or 6 frames, covering the last 29 years of the Raiders. There were some inspirational images last season, would be good to see some of them on the GH every day at the top of the screen.

Re: A new site banner for The Greenhouse?
Here is one I have made.
This one is an animated slide show with a few images of different eras in our history.
I'm still to work out why my pics keep going a little grainy when I save the gif file, the still jpg images look a lot crisper.

Re: A new site banner for The Greenhouse?
I haven't played around with gifs before, but when I tried making some avatars previously I'd find that my images looked great until I tried to export it as a jpeg, eventually I found a setting to increase the image quality. I presume this may be something similar.Guy Incognito wrote:Here is one I have made.

yup in photoshop you just go save for web and devices. it gives you drop down boxes and afew settings to play with
due to the fact of the compression styles of the format difference between gif and jpeg

Re: A new site banner for The Greenhouse?
What font was used for the site logo?
I'll make one, though I won't be in too much of a hurry to do it considering the 'deadline' is the entire off-season.

Re: A new site banner for The Greenhouse?
Okay, fair enough. But...
I want to keep the website and the slogan styles consistent with the logo, so before I do anything I'll need to know what font the logo is (and it would be a good idea for others to use it as well).greeneyed wrote:For those designing a proposed new banner, all we ask is that they use the GH logo, incorporate THEGH.COM.AU URL and the site slogan...

Re: A new site banner for The Greenhouse?
The problem is keeping the same lettering style as the logo when you enter new text, which is what you need the font for.freddo wrote:the logo was created ages ago by another poster from memory but theres the hi res jpeg in ge post what people have been usingSterlk wrote:Okay, fair enough. But...

I don't suppose anybody knows what font that is or who originally made the logo way back when? It just won't be as good unless they match.

Re: A new site banner for The Greenhouse?
Never mind... trail and error yields the result.
If anybody's interested in using the font that's in the logo for the rest of it, the font is "Haettenschweiler", should be standard in photoshop. At least it wasn't one of those custom fonts you have to download.
