I need a Banner! (The I'm Stealing D-lite's Idea Thread) *PRIZES ADDED*

Like the title says, I need a banner for my site, loopyeddie.com. Prizes which I will give to the person who creates the best banner in my opinion are down a few posts.

Here's what I'm looking for:
•468 x 60 in size, or whatever the norm is
•Must not be too serious or swanky
•Must not be too retarded either
•Must mention that it is a site for Shock Box inserts (that is really the main point of the site, everything else is just filler really).


Everything else is up to you guys. Let's see what you can come up with and tell you what I like and what I don't. Hop to it!

Okay, we're on the right track here. I'm thinking not so much of the hard dicks, and more with the creativity. And colors. And coolness. Good effort though Stinky. I'll send you out an "I Did My Best" Ribbon.

That is the best quote ever taken out of context.

If you're going for pure hit counter action something like this would be good:

Okay here's the prizes:





Now I can't give out all this stuff, and I think everybody will want different things, so I have devised a very overly complicated system. I will assign point values to each prize and the winner can pick 40 points worth of prizes. Here's the prize list and the points each one is worth (this is like a carnival!):

Rocky DVD Box Set = 10 points
Die Hard DVD Box Set = 8 points
Banged up Lunar puppet = 5 points
Godzilla's Revenge DVD = 1 point
Godzilla King of the Monsters DVD = 1 point
Terror of Mechagodzilla DVD = 1 point
AFI All Hollow's E.P. CD = 1 point
Refused CD = 3 points
Bootleg Tick Series DVDs = 4 points
Way of the Gun DVD = 3 points
Godzilla vs. Mothra DVD = 1 point
Radiohead Amnesiac CD = 3 points
Wild Arms 2 PlayStation = 2 points
Wild Arms PlayStation = 2 points
Jungle Book Dance PlayStation = 2 points
Warpath PlayStation = 1 point
Metal Case (perfect for DIY joysticks) = 8 points
Rodan DVD = 1 point
Radiohead The Bends CD = 3 points
Propagandhi CD = 2 points
Harvest Moon PlayStation = 2 points
Radiohead Kid A CD = 3 points
Dance Dance Revolution PlayStation = 2 points
Legend of Dragoon PlayStation = 1 point
Point Blank 3 w/ Guncon = 3 points
Turbo Duo TurboTap = 2 points
Arc the Lad PlayStation = 8 points
Silhouette Mirage PlayStation = 4 points
Star Ocean PlayStation = 2 points
Ridge Racer 4 PlayStation = 1 point
2 Small Metal Cases (good for superguns!) = 3 points each
Shure SM57 Microphone (industry standard) = 6 points
Eye Toy Play (game and camera) = 4 points
Growlanser Generations PlayStation 2 = 12 points
Final Fantasy IX PlayStation = 1 point
Resident Evil GameCube = 4 points

Okay that's it. I pick the winner based on which one I like the best. If there are a bunch of good entries, I'll give out stuff to more than just the winner too! I'll give criticism along the way. Right now, I'm thinking something somewhat funny. Mabye shockboxes, and neo stuff, then fade into kittens! Nothing cool or serious, but please no more hard dicks. Well, go ahead with the dicks, but you won't win a prize! This is retarded. Anyway, thanks to anyone who participates.

These are the words of a man who has been pushed to the edge by one too many hard dicks. It's always a sticky situation because when you start to go over the edge the only available thing to hold on to is a hard dick - and that just makes the situation even more sticky.

One of these days I'm going to make you a banner that will crush all other banners, and that Rocky DVD box set will be mine.

woah dude those r some nice prizes i want that rocky + godzilla in my ass NOW.

ill do some stuff tonight i think.

I'm a sucky artist but that rocky dvd collection looks nice. Lemme see what i can come up with.

After thinking it over, I feel 25 points is too low. I'm changing the winning prize to a whopping 40 points. That's more points than you can shake a hard dick at!

Isn't 40 points like every one of those prizes?

That's might be too many points.

Your generosity shall be your undoing!

No, it's not even half! You need to bone up on your math and cut back on the bone-ing up of the hard dick.

Recounting now

I'm glad I'm the last one to leave work today, because I can't stop laughing!

Okay, I will never say hard dicks again....

i'm bored, so i whipped this up...




don't ask me what it means, it's meant to be silly, but just a bit thought provoking.


p.s. i may be willing to buy that metal project box from you if you don't end up giving it away.

This is surely the best so far. I'd like something with some animation if possible though. And something that hints at the fact that I have pretty much all the available inserts hosted. You know, a One-Stop-Shop kind of thing. Oh, and the kittens.

I have been getting a lot of questions about the metal case in the pics. It is made by Hammond Manufacturing (hammondmfg.com) and is part #1456PH1WHBU. It can be purchased at mouser.com. I do believe they have to special order it and it takes a couple of weeks to arrive though.

I want that All Hallows EP! I may be able to work on something this weekend.

HA HA HA

I just noticed my MS5 Shipping box in the above gif and it made me laugh out loud so hard! OMFG MS5!

here's my entry:



enjoy.

What in God's name happened to my hard dicks banner?

How am I supposed to win that Rocky DVD set now? That was my trump card.

i vote for dinkins banner

I really like the feel of this one:



I like the animation and all the inserts, but it seems just a little obscure with the cardboard box and the MS5 reference. I love the looks and colors of this one:



I would like some animation if possible though, and I don't like that it uses the word "repository." It makes me think of the super gun repository, which is a good site, just not the one I'm trying to promote. I would prefer the words "Shock Box Insert Extravaganza." I do like the pictures of the inserts in shock boxes.

I appreciate everyone's participation and hopefully we'll get more submissions. I'd like to run this contest at least through the weekend, and possibly another week. As long as I continue to get great entries, I'd like to keep it open. Thanks,

Eddie
