...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...

Because we are Aurora Racing, and the real aurora is possible to see at night what about to use a screenshot from map in night mode and then in PS paste a nice aurora to the sky of screenshot?

Yea have been quite a long time since the last post about this Been also very busy with work and other side projects. If someone kindly sends a nice screenshot I will start working on the banner this sunday, so should have the 1st version ready within a week.

Realized I don't even have an avatar here. Found an old one I made around 9 years ago xD Gonna use it for now, but gotta make a new one soon.

I will change the colors dark and make it black and white (more like black and grey since it will be dark), so it doesn't have to be night mode And since the height of the banner is so small I'm not sure any sky will be seen anyways if the car is the focus in it. Still not sure how to made the auroras though. If I can't make it work with the auroras I might have to leave them out figure something else.

not sure if you know how to grab them from the sourcecode, but you could use one of the screenshots i used for the videos on AR yt channel

(i can get them for u if u tell me which ones u want)

Ya, sorry no new skin yet.

Couldn't figure it out how to get the from the source code. From those shots I think this vid's would be the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE6vUuhx_zk
So if you could get that one for me I could try it out. But started to think that the backwards angle of the car isn't maybe the best one for the banner. But then again if the pic is big enough it could work very well... I'll have to try it out.

Thanks

I like that the shot is from the front and side, but not really feeling the circle grid in the foreground. Gonna try it out too, thanks

Oi guys!

So here's the 1st version of the banner:

Decided to go with cox's screenshot, because it makes a better background since the car is showing more.

A bit different version:


Here's how it would look like in use in this forum:

What do you think so far?

Needs more work, personally especially not happy with the Aurora Racing text.

I like it.

Prefer the first one. More symmetrical.

yup, i like the first one, good work so far aik <3

Nice. I like the first one too. Could you try lowering the opacity or strength of the blue filter though? It'd be cooler to see more of the screenshot imo.

i like it but what does ar stand for?

ARseholes.

It looks awesome aikon, good work so far mate

Nothing happend here for some time. So i decided to try something.
What do you guys think of these two versions?







Comments? Thoughts? Critic?....  Cookies?

I like them both equally.

I'd like them better if they weren't as blurry though

i like the first one

Ye, they're kinda looking like low quality made because they're so blurry...
First one is better and I still like that one by Aikon the most tho

Alright, here is a sharper version of the first banner. I think it looks better this way.



Para, wich one by Aikon do you mean? The very first with the mirrored AR cars?


Btw. did anyone recognize that i changed the 'AR' Logo?

Yes, I noticed. And I like that blue one (last one) by aikon, I didn't respond to any other before, so I think you see which one I mean.

took care of it myself
