@Mattafex, yeah its all good dude, like DVAted said there's enough of us that self votes aren't required really. Anyone can abstain from a vote with good reason.

Now to decide which version to use.

I vote for no. 1, I don't really like the gradient on the text, makes "GUN" harder to make out.

1 - 1:

OR

2 - 0:

Finally, I would ask that we hold off on the banners for a bit and make a push for more user online images. I will be making some tonight, if possible can other GFX specialists get their creative juices flowing and submit some, I think if we start doing them, other members will start to contribute.

This is just a request not an order, you will not be judged for not submitting any, I just want to make that clear.

They're both very good but I do like number 2 just a little more than 1.

I vote for the second one. So a YEAH for No. 2

I also agree with AdvanceTerror to focus more on other things like modbanners and users online. I know i made the nomination hehe but i was afraid to lost such a good banner. It would be great to collect all new posted banner, mod banner and user online to get an better overview. Any suggestions?

@Xzisted is yet to vote.

@DVAted - are you abstaining from this vote? I know you're biased against stalker, but you may have a preference when it comes to this banner.

@Mattafex, you created them, do you prefer one over the other?

I personally like the 1st one better myself, i do agree with DVA that the color is quite bright.

So i edited it to be more pure yellow than neon, if we like this version more?

I agree, there were better banners in the 10 we did the big vote on. But most of those banners were of games that already have a banner featuring them in rotation. We don't have a STALKER banner, and putting your bias aside (like you said), STALKER is a very popular game and I do think we could use one.

I voted against this banner due to some of the reasons you have mentioned, its not a fantastic banner and Mattafex has done much better. I actually prefer this:

STALKER:

But this wasn't nominated, and I'm not nominating new banners at moment, like I have said, I feel we should focus on other design aspects of the site.

Also, @Mattafex thanks for making that slight change, really surprised how much better the banner looks now.

@DVAted can you please update banner rotation, this is to replace no.27

This mod banner is awsome. Lets strech it to 20 or even more if necessary. I mean this banners represent the mods we have on our network. If you ask me i wont set an ammount on the rotation for now. If we had two of the same mod then lets vote for the better one.

I would prefer to increase the limit on mod banners instead of replacing them. Maybe set the limit at 15 for now and if we get more great submissions we can bump it up to 20 and so on as we go.
As for @Xzisted's Stormtrooper banner I think it looks fantastic and it definitely gets a vote of YES from me.

So a few things have been suggested regarding mod banners, I think we should hold a vote on the mod banner rotation limit before we vote on any new mod banners. So I won't be doing a scoreboard for the ep7 stormtrooper mod banner just yet.

I agree with @Cruz011 why have a limit at all? We should aim to have 1 banner per mod on the site. No duplicate mod banners. So I'd vote an unlimited number of mod banners, if a banner is nominated we vote whether to add it to rotation or not, if there is already a banner for that mod, we vote whether or not we're going to replace it.


MOD BANNER ROTATION LIMIT

15 - 1:

20 - 0:

Unlimited - 1:

From the posts I wasn't sure which way @DVAted and @Cruz011 were voting, so I haven't added their votes yet.

Once this vote is done, we'll know what we're doing with mod banners in the future and we can start the vote on the Stormtrooper banner.

@AdvancedTerror - a YEAH from me for the unlimited mod banners.

If unlimited is voted in (its looking likely), we wont just accept a mod banner just because we don't have one for that mod, gfx specialist will nominate it and it will be voted on as with all banners, the difference is, we wont be voting to replace a banner.

As with all nominations & votes you will need to justify why your nominating / voting for or against the banner. Hope that clears it up.

TL;DR - New mod banners will be held to the same high standard as any other banner. We wont be adding mod banners just because we don't already have one featuring that mod.
