Do you think banners should switch more frequently?

[Dragonshy 2,305]

I just was wondering what everyone's opinion on whether or not the banners should switch more frequently. I personally think that if we have enough artists to make new banners every 4 days, we should consider switching them more frequently. I don't want to cause any dispute, and if this thread seems like it will cause something bad, then please take it down. I just wanted to see everyone's opinion on it.

A new banner each week is good enough for me.

[Mephala 2,635]

I'm down with one a week. If artists are interested in doing more, that's cool too. Just depends on how much they want to do it.

[The Awesome One 1,315]

I'm fine with a new one every week.

Okay it seems like everyone wants one a week. Its just that sometimes we get one that's not the most attractive one, and then we have it for a whole week. Maybe it just seems long because I'm always on here.

They've been changing weekly for months now, and I think it's fine that way.

although I must admit I did enjoy seeing the Rarity banner for 2 weeks- doubt that'll happen again though.

[Swit Swat 536]

I say maybe... Because If It's a Spitfire or Octavia banner, then it should remain there for A LONG time.

For example, I didn't like that one (In my opinion), but I had to see it for 2 weeks. I liked when it switched weekly for episodes, but when there's no new episodes I would like to see a new one a little more often. (My opinion)

I mean no offence to the artists but is it just me, or are the banners getting a little less fun to look at? Although this Daring Do and Rainbow Dash banner we currently have is might fly.(Where's the other wing?)

[Doctor XFizzle 8,670]

I think a week is fine. Not too long and not too short. If the banners changed more frequently like every 3-4 days, members who don't log in to the forums often will miss a lot of banners.

 

HOWEVA, that's why we're getting a banner archive page /)^3^(

Oh I haven't made a banner. Yet...

I have been making the banners sense nico stopped, I understand that they are not as good, and I am putting a lot of effort into them, if you have suggestions, im all ears

 

also, switching them once per week is perfect in my opinion, it gives time for people to appreciate it, 4 days is a tad bit to short, if we put up new banners too frequently, they may become a bit stale and repatative

Am I the only one here who wants the same banner for atleast a month?

[NewCalamity 3,454]

I personally think it's fine the way it is right now. If it changes too often some people may not get their eye-candy fill of the banner if they really enjoy it and some may miss out completely on seeing new banners. There's also the downside of putting too much strain on the graphic artists for having to pump out banners every so often, it can get tiring and stressful.

 

The current rate at which banners change now I think is ideal for it keeps things fresh, while still allowing time for artists to conjure up a creative and visually appealing banner for all to see.

New banners don't take a week. Also, they're going to make a list of all the banners. They're wouldn't be a strain because there are enough artists to do so.

[Shankveld 4,951]

I think once a week is perfect, but I would like to see more than one artist who makes the banner. ~

[NavelColt 22,883]

Once a week is great. Just long enough, but doesn't drag on.

I disagree. If we had new banners more frequently and from different artists, I think they would be the opposite of stale and repetitive.

I agree with the different artists, but disagree with more then once a week, if you want to submit a banner, talk to feld0, I aint no official banner maker or anything, feld0 has said this many times that you can submit a banner

[Doctor XFizzle 8,670]

If we were to try our hand at making new banners (or more banners in my case), do we absolutely HAVE to have the bubbly MLP Forums logo/font thing in it? There's not a vector of it posted anywhere from what I can see and it takes a little work to extract it from a previous banner and it doesn't look nearly as good.

[LowfatEnvelope 335]

Once a week works for me. I enjoy looking at them for that period of time, and by the time the week's up I'm ready for something new usually.

I dont think we HAVE to, and I use a pdf file that feld0 gave me that has the banner, its 1920 X 1080
