Active GTOP100 / Banner contest

Hello Maplers,

For past many years we've switched our GTOP banners, usually during seasonal events and whatnot. Almost every single banner was made by our talented graphics artist Yozich

However, there's times Yozich is busy, as well as me being curious if there's other people around that are good as well, for different styles of banners.

I think personally it would be really cool if we have different styles around as well, so not only we change it from time to time, but also that the style is different.

Therefor I am launching this banner contest to see what our talented community has to offer.

I am currently looking for the following

General GTOP banner:
- A general banner used when no events are going on (like the one currently on GTOP)
- According to GTOP the size limit is currently 3 MB, which can be animated, but also static
- 468x60 or 728x90. Personally recommend the bigger one for quality reasons
- Recommend putting an acknowledge of our server (ex: logo) in the banner

Christmas themed banner:
- A banner for our upcoming christmas event
- Christmas themed
- Same size limitations
- Recommend putting an acknowledge of our server (ex: logo) in the banner)

Past event-related banner examples:

Any good submission will receive a reward, as well as my interests. I won't say exactly what, since I may change my mind by time a banner is done. However, people do get the same reward, as long some effort was made (no troll submission, please.)

Good luck! If you have any questions let me know. c:

P.S. The high-res versions of our updated logos are attached in this post should you need to use them!

 

Still looking for creative new banners by the way!
