Custom Forum Header Competition

Guys... we need a custom forum header/banner ASAP. I've been sittin in here pulling my hair out in Photoshop and realized.. why torture myself when we can just exploit our fellow TGers!?

So, post your forum header ideas here and hopefully by the end of the weekend we can have one picked out. A few rules:

1) Image should be the same dimensional height (93 pixels) as the default header.
2) Image should be no more then 600 pixels wide.
3) Should have "Tactical Gamer" as the main part of the logo. Ideally, the header would remain largely the same as the default, except with nice touches that relate to Tabula Rasa.

Here's the default one we all know and love:


Here's an example custom one used for the WoW guild:



**If your banner is chosen (by poll) you get the priveledge of bragging about it in the forums! Woot!

Re: Custom Forum Header Competition

Here's a few things I've been working on (for all of like 5 minutes):


Obviously, these 2 are out of dimensional constraints





This is an example fansite logo

I can still modify any of these if you like certain parts of certain ones...

Banner 0:

Kind of a test (thus "0"), cause its cut off on the right, but the TR Symbol behind her is smoother than the others...


Banner 1:

Fixed the right side, and changed the Symbol a bit, its more... sketchy.


Banner 2:

Same as 1, but the Symbol is the natural blue...


Banner 3:

Different characters. I can do this one with different variations of the Symbol also, but the sketchy colored one looked the best with those characters, i think.

So, tell me what you think. I was thinking of making one with a Bane on the left, and her on the right, we'll see...

Re: Custom Forum Header Competition

Those are PHAT, much better than mine (I had to make mine quickly for clan/fansite submission). I wouldnt really change any of it Steed, cept maybe play with the lettering. I like the last one the best though.

We'll see if anyone else comes up with anything by the end of the week. If not, I think that last one would work just fine.

Re: Custom Forum Header Competition

All are awesome, but I agree with Gambit...the last one is just kick ass.

Great job!

Re: Custom Forum Header Competition

I was trying to leave the "Tactical Gamer" text to match the normal one, but i do agree, it looks kinda bland...
I'll try and pick out the rest of it tomorrow, and see what i can do with it.

Re: Custom Forum Header Competition

Uh oh....now you had to go and make it all difficult.

VERY nice job, Gillespie. I really like how you changed "Tactical Gamer" but kept it true to the original.

Damn you and your mad photoshop skillz!

Re: Custom Forum Header Competition

NICE guys! I agree with Ghambits thought on IB's.
Gillespies is great but I'd do something to try and 'pop' the characters off the background.

Re: Custom Forum Header Competition

It would be nifty to be able to have the lettering style of Gillespie with the background of Steed. The best of both worlds.

Re: Custom Forum Header Competition

We can wait and see if someone ELSE comes up with something cool. But hey, I can easily give the lettering to Steed...

Re: Custom Forum Header Competition

Here's one with some updated text with simple text effects. True to the origional.



Still wana work on another one tomorrow too...

Gillespie, I like your lettering, it looks very futuristic. Looks good, but I like to keep mine closer to the standard Tactical Gamer logo.
