!!! Asylum Banners Contest !!!

Hey. As I'm sure you can all see, we have top right up there, a rotating set of 20 or so banners that gets cycled through when you're browsing here. Nothing fancy, just something to keep the place more...dynamic, for lack of a better word. It's sort of nice having a different picture every refresh, but the well is shallow. We need more.

So, I'm soliciting NEW Asylum banners. I'm asking that you, the members, put some of your skills and creative energies together and show us what you got. Cool looking, funny, snazzy, mind-blowing...whatever. But make some banners, and it'll get thrown in the rotation (so long as it doesn't completely suck or violate the rules). Just a nice bit of window-dressing to add to the ambiance of the place.

Most entries will probably get added to the rotation, but I want to see GOOD ones up there. And I want to see who has some talent. So the admin team will pick winners. Gold, silver, and bronze entries. Each will get culture and/or humor points, depending on the entry and how good it is (and thus how it ranks). We wanna see what you can do.

The only rules:

1. It has to be all-age content. No porn banners, please (and yes, I know there are some now, and we're getting rid of them). Retards dancing, is of course, perfectly acceptable.

2. 468 x 60 pixels is the size requirement.

3. The smaller the filesize the better (30kb max)

Post submissions here. Let's add something to the place. I wanna see what you guys can come up with.

Have at it.

You can see the current banners here: http://asylumnation.com/images/banners/

What is the offical font of the asylum? Or is there one?

What's the chance we can deepsix the disembodied tack head? That thing is just disturbing on a level I can't fathom.

Is Stile Sux! an acceptable tagline? If not, it should be because he does...

What about animated banners? Are those verboten?

l33t photoshop skills by tack.... i'll deepsix you telf

'stile sux' is more of an advertisement for stile than for asylum, as it's practically his catch phrase(or was?) I don't think we should mention stile in banners, but then again, I'm a hypocrit.

LOL @ tack

TEFL - animated is ok as long as it's not annoying. and try to keep em as small as possible, i'd say 30k as an absolute maximum.

What happened to the one that said, "We all fuck on the first date"?
And shouldn't there be one that says, "You'll sleep with one of us eventually"
