I say put both of them up, just replace one from the old rotation. I'll vote for AdvancedTerror's banner though cause you guys make a good point about the lack of AC banners.

While I do agree we need a good AC banner I just think @xzisted's Mad Max banner is way better and we only have one mad max banner so far. So I vote for his banner.

I love @xzisted banner, The font choice is just too great for me to not vote for it. So that one gets my vote.

@DVAted I would also lean more toward the 1st Heavy Skaal Armour banner mainly because it represents the amour a lot better like you said. Seems your biggest issue is the field blur effect in the background.

I added the effect to make the text readable. When I'm home from work i'll have a quick tinker with it, remove the blur and edit the text effects so its readable. To be honest, on reflection I don't like the blur either, it was just an easy / quick fix to a problem because I really liked the effect I got on the text.

Also, the screenshot In used in the second banner is truly badass

+1 for dusildorf's mod banner, it's good, there's just this huge black space which I feel could have been used. Nice text on that for real.

As for the Skaal banners, the first one's better mainly because of the armor's visibility in the screenshot and the colors have more variety. The blur's fine IMO, I would have used a different kind of style for the font, just my personal preference. Nevertheless it looks great already and it looks like AdvancedTerror's planning to address DVA's concerns with it anyway. I'll vote for the first one.

Hehe so we got again a tie at the #5 and #9. 3-3 votes. I dont think that The New Skynet vote also so i take the decission to take #9 in rotation. Reason - i like the mad max banner much more than the AC one. I only choose #5 because its the only from AC we got. so to keep this whole process going we got a winner. Its #9 mad max from @xzisted!

@DVAted - i would choose the first one cause it shows the armor perfect! Perhaps AdvancedTerror could make an other font to avoid the blur effect.?

I liked both the Assassin's Creed and Mad Max banners and either one would have been a fine addition to the rotation. I think @Cruz011 did a good job of flexing his leadership muscles and making a final decision.
@dusildorf did some really good work with his mod banner although I think a background would help tie everything together. Still it's some nice work and he definitely has talent.
Between the two Skaal banners I think the first one looks the best. As said before it does appear to be a better representation of the armor mod itself while the second looks like a picture for a magic spell mod.

I vote for the Heavy Skaal Banner and the Dragbody's Armor Pack Banner.

If we vote to replace on of the existing banners in favour of having all three of the new banners. I think it should be my Tru-Enb banner, its the weakest one that's currently in rotation imo.

Between the 3 I vote for the Heavy Skaal Armor banner and Dragbody's Armor Pack banner.

Dusildorf's banner is good but I wouldn't replace any of the other banners already in rotation.

It's hard, I really like all three, but if I had to vote, numbers 2 and 3 gets it.

My vote goes for 2 and 3.

My vote goes also on 2 and 3.

I am on vacation right now. Using a w-lan with my mobile phone in a diner. So in the next 2 weeks i am not able to make here any post. Sorry for that! So we need a deputy to manage the GFX topics during this time. Greetings from Austria

I'd vote no on all three of them too for the same reasons as DVAted pointed out. I also think that the banners you proposed to replace them with are better than the ones you nominated. Aside from being stretched, there seems to be artifacts in the images too, just to add to what DVAted said about the banners. In the Last of Us one, I don't particularly like the text placement, and yeah, saying "GUN NETWORK" means Gaming Underground Network Network.  

It's good that these contributions are being made and I love how active the graphics section of the forum is. Just take this as advice on improving. Resize your images properly. The 200 pixel height is hard to work with when you want to implement focal points which are more or less vertical in orientation, I understand, but squishing them or stretching them to fit in the 900x200 size makes the image look worse than it could've been had you just resized them properly. Stretching small images to fit the 900x200 size also makes the image look blurry and low quality, so make sure to use large images and make them smaller.
