Banner Contest

I like to invite you to our big banner contest. We are planning to promote Illarion with the next coming client update. Therefore we need a banner (468 x 60 pixels) about Illarion. Try to create one, be creative as never before. The format (jpg, png, gif, ...) is up to you. Feel free to create a static or an animated banner. Please send your banners to bannercontest@illarion.org, but please note that by sending you banner to this email address all copyrights at the banner goes to the Illarion society. Besides the honour for the winners we are thinking about raising the character limit for them. Let you surprise.
Now you have to go to work

Furthermore - for those who need more space for their creativity - I could need a 1024x768 picture about Illarion, a sort of background/promotion/desktop image - not just a client screenshot. Please send this one to imagecontest@illarion.org.
Same rules as above.

=============================================

Banner-Wettbewerb

Ich möchte Dich zu unserem großen Banner-Wettbewerb einladen. Wir planen Illarion mit dem nächsten kommenden Client zu bewerben. Dafür benötigen wir ein Banner (468 x 60 Pixel) über Illarion. Versuch eins zu machen, sei kreativ wie nie zuvor. Das Format (jpg, png, gif, ...) kannst Du frei wählen. Du kannst ein statischen oder ein animiertes Banner erstellen. Bitte sende Dein Banner an bannercontest@illarion.org, aber sei Dir bewusst, dass mit dem Senden des Banners an diese Adresse alle Rechte daran an den Illarion e.V. über gehen. Neben der Ehre für die Gewinner überlegen wir momentan das Character-Limit für sie zu erhöhen. Lass' Dich überraschen.
Jetzt musst Du aber an die Arbeit

Desweiteren - für die, die mehr Platz für ihre Kreativität brauchen - bräuchte ich ein 1024x768 Bild über Illarion, eine Art Hintergrund-/Werbe-/Desktopbild - nicht nur einen Client Screenshot. Bitte sende dieses an imagecontest@illarion.org.
Es gelten die selben Regeln wie oben.

So, someone who could draw extraordinarely well, could create the sort of fanart you see at big MMORPGs for promotion? Not that we are going to be like those big businesses, just checking.

Just try your best. I'm not sure what I could await from you. I'll put the best ones for a voting online.

What font was used for the original Illarion logo? (The one with the people all standing above the word "Illarion" in that black box)

You will have two weeks for this at least, maybe longer. Depends on the feed back.

Cain Freemont · Post by **Cain Freemont** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 10:00 pm

Two weeks? Pshaw. Sent mine in already ^_^. Turns out I had a little extra time on my hands today.

Is there a limit on number of banners entered?

Ziel Oden · Post by **Ziel Oden** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 2:01 am

Doesn't matter. Send in as many banners/pictures as you like.
Even I thought of a present for the first senders.

I sent in my banner

SchwertTaifun Ryo · Post by **SchwertTaifun Ryo** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 8:36 pm

Wäääh,it's unfair

Why does this contest have to be right after school started again? I would have needed it at the beginning of August,then I'd have sent in at least 3 by now^^° But...no time.Not at all.Hope I can do one at the weekend,if at all >_>

I am not able to design banners, but i want to show you something. The most ones may do not know, that long time ago Illarion had a banner:

Old Banner

It can still be found at the homepage of the Grey Rose. Maybe it is the last one - An artifact of the time of the 1. server, when Bror was active here.

That looks too modern, i dont blame them for changing it

Markous · Post by **Markous** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 9:58 pm

I've found that banner on other old pages before, Lennier

Oh, and maybe one day, someone should change the message on www.mud.de that contains news about Illarion, saying it is updated every week etc. That post there is many years old.

Lahela · Post by **Lahela** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 10:53 pm

As well as the page itself. Ever looked at the latest changes. I think the last date os from 2001 or something.

It is too bad I suck in "computer made art".

Draw something then, CG art is all too common, something accually drawn might make people think "that game looks unique, look at that banner!".

Yes, this was the first banner Illarion ever had.

We've already made a list of external sites who need to be updated. We'll start to update after the next client update. Afterwards you will know why.

The first sender of a banner was fooser915@... and the 1st sender of a desktop picture was cain_freemont@...

Alatar · Post by **Alatar** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 4:31 pm

Some ideas for your banners/ pictures

if naming a URL, use illarion.org (and write the i as small letter, otherwise it looks like a small L)
if writing the name of the game (Illarion) use a font which draws the first letter different as the second and third letter. For the homepage title image I've used "Fiorne"

So far I've got 9 banners and 2 desktop images. Keep up the great work!

AlaineMilan · Post by **AlaineMilan** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 7:07 pm

desktop images? That's easier than a banner *looks at her desktop image with many illarionites on* =)

*tries to install the photoshop cd she got*

btw. a few people are complaining about double posts but look at Alatar

SchwertTaifun Ryo · Post by **SchwertTaifun Ryo** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 7:34 pm

I'm afraid I can't do it in time...

First becuase I don't even have time^^
And second,the idea I have will take a shitload of time,but the result shall be awesome! So,even if the contest is finished,I'll finish it and post it here then,where you can cry it hasn't been chosed xD Just kidding~

Gimme some weeks~

AlaineMilan · Post by **AlaineMilan** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 7:35 pm

*just kidding*

Really? I guess they entered two of their email addresses at the newsletter subscription. I got it once.

Or do you mean the "Manual" newsletter?
