Here are the preselected banners you can vote for:

Post by **Estralis Seborian** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 8:52 pm

My vote: 9

5 looks coolest, but lacks the URL and one does not have the slightest clue what its all about. Add ".org" to Illarion and add a subtitle like "Real roleplaying. Real players" or just "online RPG" and it has my vote immediatly.

10 has the best slogan

1 has a nice background picture

9.
1 was my second favorite, because it portrays the relaxing features of non-combat. I think these both could be used depending where you advertise them.

Pendar · Post by **Pendar** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 9:02 pm

They are all really awesome,
If i could i would combine 9 and 10.
banner 9 with 10's slogan.

My vote would be 5 as it would make me click it grabs my attention and my idea of an rpg, a rp "life"

I do hope we will use a few of these, perhaps a few options to link back to the site?
9,5,6,1 should all see some use i feel how ever small. The rest are amazeing to I picked the ones that sold me the game though.

Ellaron · Post by **Ellaron** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 9:57 pm

Is this "The Emperor's new clothes?" I can't see any banners, only the numbers.
Using IE 6 and xp pro sp2.

Post by **Nitram** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 10:05 pm

Same here.

Using Firefox, WinXP, no SP

Edit: Same problem with IE6

I don't get any problem running XP, SP1 and Firefox. I even tried emptying the browser cache.

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 10:07 pm

Firefox + SP2 is working fine for me...

@Ellaron & Nitram: Deactivate any Adblockers (like Adblock in firefox, webwasher or the adblock feature of the outpost firewall).

Ellaron · Post by **Ellaron** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 11:02 pm

Thanks for the help. It was the ad blocker on my firewall.

1, 6 and 10 I like. Out of all three 1 is slightly better.
All the others, 1 to 9 (-6), are great banners but are not the game I know.

Pocal · Post by **Pocal** » Mon Sep 19, 2005 11:03 pm

9 for me.

Four was my vote.

Quinasa · Post by **Quinasa** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 12:18 am

I'm not sure I like any of them. There should be something animated, like

but I'd pick #1 if I had to...

Lahela · Post by **Lahela** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 1:03 am

5 - I like it simple.

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 6:03 am

I believe that number five is by far the best banner to use. It looks very pretty, with nice colors that catch the eye. It has the illarion name well in view. And it combines the to important parts of Illarion, the fighting side symbolized by the sword and the simply roleplaying a life side symbolized by the plane. Both graphics, the sword and the plane, are good to look at. So I vote for number five.

Sylathen · Post by **Sylathen** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 6:43 am

5 here aswell

Cain Freemont · Post by **Cain Freemont** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 7:43 am

I guess I'm the only one (aside from what I'm assuming is the creator voting for his or her own) that really likes the incredible simplicity of number 7. It shows what the graphics are like, while telling the name of the game. Its a given that its an MORPG, GMUD, or whatever you want to call it these days, so that isn't necessary on a banner of this nature. A slogan is useful, but a slogan on a banner just takes away from the visual appeal that is meant to draw people in. So, my vote goes to 7.

Sitadel · Post by **Sitadel** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 12:51 pm

I voted banner 5 because it is so amazing, but i like number 1 too!

Post by **Nitram** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 12:53 pm

I want to see them too

Drathe · Post by **Drathe** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 4:05 pm

I rather like number 4. I like the animated text, though only a player of the game would know its in game floor tiles. But none the less its an interesting font and colours. I love the middle divide of white, separating the title from the in-game shot. Could have chosen a more understandable scene for a non-game player, something more simplistic.

There is also no URL but then that said, people don’t read or look at banners for the web address. They catch their eye read the slogan and click it to be taken to where it advertises.

Over all, I like it. Would be interested to know who made it an see other work

Sun Long · Post by **Sun Long** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 4:22 pm

I like most the animated one of Quinasa, but it seems to be out of vote

If I've never heard of Illarion, this one would awake my interest most and I got the inform where to find it.

Galim · Post by **Galim** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 7:19 pm

I like Quinasas most too =(

AlaineMilan · Post by **AlaineMilan** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 8:03 pm

i voted the fifth but i like Quins more

hers is awesome

Rackere Diplomatre · Post by **Rackere Diplomatre** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 8:25 pm

1, 5, 9 and 10 are awesome. I voted for 1.

Is it just me or is the text on 3 hardly readable?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 8:44 pm
