New site banner

ola

i got contacted by aik a while ago about possibly getting a new banner for the team site. he's extremely shy so wanted me to ask you if you thank that's ok? if that's ok? you know, if you think that's cool.

so discuss away, he already has some ideas and a vip, so be sure to leave some suggestions or opinions. i'll be more than happy to ignore them!

im ok with it, already saw a preview too and i liked it

Sounds cool. Can you post the preview?

Rex Racer wrote:Sounds cool.  Can you post the preview?

no!

Sure, I'm up for it.

Sounds like a good idea

Here's a quick preview that I made in 5 mins, just to show you the idea: https://2img.net/h/s11.postimg.cc/6n39uhsib/aurora_logo_wip.jpg

The basic elements are the aurora in the background, the logo and the team car. Maybe gonna add more than one car on both sides.

Any thoughts about the concept? Anything I should add there? I'm open for ideas

The actual banner will take a couple of hours to make, I'll most likely make a video of the whole process.

1. What if we use black background to the left and right for a piece of stadium and a sliding car, maybe zoomed in from the back
2. What do you think about slightly bigger font (1pt) to make alignment of "racing" to R that it won't be too close to the right edge? Or just reduce spacing between aurora and racing?

FYI: I'm not trying to critisize, I'm giving out my ideas and overall vision Doing it because I like it and care

What about the lambda and backwards R in the AURORA RACING part?

λURORA яACING for example.

Obviously with a larger я.


Looks nice though.

I'll definitely have hard times reading team name if you decide to use cyrillic letter Я yaacing!

not to discriminate our russian part of the community, but i don't think that'll be a major issue

is a gif also an option?

You might want to wait for the new skin

R.I.P.

In either case of skins, I think it'd be cool if you did some kind of shadow or highlight effect beneath the cars to create a kind of illusory podium.

1. Good idea, I think the stadium background + some auroras would look nice.
2. Yeah just quickly placed the text there, gotta tweak it. The font will change.

Like I said, all the ideas (and critique) are welcome, it's our team banner after all Just wanna try and make a new one and if you guys like it, you can use it.

Gonna try that too, at least with the backwards R. Thanks

Well I can make gifs, but the quality isn't that great and the file size would get pretty big. Did you have something in mind?

Any idea when it would be ready? Talked with Down earlier and he said the blue skin (ATM used in the preview) and red skin are the most used skins.
I can wait, not in a hurry at all and just gathering ideas here.

Will add shadows, highlights and other effects to the cars (and logo) to make them blend/stand out better when I actually start working on the banner. Not sure if it'll be what you meant with "illusory podium", but the cars will look much better then

Not exactly, but that sounds good too .  This is what I was talking about, but without the mess:

I won't be able to make it this week. Creativity isn't flowing that well, and I don't want to force anything mediocore-ish.

take some LSD or something to let it flow

Well either you try the LSD like Down suggested or then you'll just take your time finishing the skin

Just take your time man

I vote for LSD !

Hey guys Haven't forgotten this one. Been waiting for the new team car, but now I've decided that I'll do the 1st version without the car.

Could someone please post a nice screenshot of the game that I could use as the base of the background? Something that fits the team well and has the element of FS in it. You know Not sure how much of it will be actually seen in the final version of the banner, but it will be the whole base of it.

I actually thought about asking how this was comming along the other day- but got sidetracked and forgot I'll admit i'm kinda looking forward to seeing how and what it's gonna look like
