Jokuc 8,173 August 11, 2012 Share August 11, 2012 (edited) Hm I think this thread will result in Swoop and Feld0 gets spammed with signatures people makes, haha. Anyways, I have made some banners byself but I have never really sent any of them directly to the mods. Also, if ponies wants to use a template, wouldn't it be easier to see where to put their things if the template had a transparent background so they could use it while they work? I mean like, if they want precision, maybe put stuff between the tabs. This one has a transparent background so it can be placed in a layer above as a guide, to then be deleted. (ofc) Oh and if people are too lazy to install the fonts they can use this and change the hue of it if they want another color Edited August 11, 2012 by Mr. Pillow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Awesome One 1,315 August 11, 2012 Share August 11, 2012 GIMP 2 is a very good program for making signatures and banners. You can make graphics just as good as the one's you could on Photoshop or Illustrator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivion 20,266 March 8, 2014 Share March 8, 2014 (edited) Does all of this still apply, even with the new forum layout/theme? Update: "The banner should be saved as a .png file and the dimensions are 1000x285 for the new one or 1000x165 pixels for the old theme."
