Exclamation Calling all GFX artists!

I have been browsing the site and the ONE thing we don't have is a GFX designer. We need more appealing banners on the forums and better logos for the site. If you or anyone you know that is a GFX artist, please make the forums a banner to use. Even if it is one skin. Every bit helps! Please post all banners in this thread or if you wish for it to be private feel free to PM me at any time.

I am willing to help with any banners or themes as needed, although I don't think we are in need of any banners right now. I think the 503s are the more pressing concern, though, especially for Cat.

If you can make the banners, PM them to me. I'm not saying we need to put them up now, as you said Cat is having trouble with the forums.

I'm not sure what is meant by this. We already have a site banner and logo. The only thing it appears that we are in need of are custom themes.

What? o_O. Do you see all the skins without banners? Those are the ones i'm talking about.
They still say PokeZam on them.

Ah. Never mind, I wasn't aware the other skins lacked banners.

At any rate, I would be willing to redesign those. I'll post when I have at least one done.

Here is the Dialga one redone:

I tried to make it as much like the original as possible. I can do an even closer approximation if someone can provide the name of the font used in the original.

Here's an even closer one:

(uses the same color for text and its background; again, the font is not replicated)

Here is the Steel-type banner:

Again, I was unable to exactly replicate the font, so I chose something similar and fitting.

Probably not, because it's an animated GIF and would be tricky to modify without leaving behind obvious artifacts. That, and it's extremely... ugly.

Actually, the background is animated, but not the banner itself.

In that case, it would be extremely easy. I don't actually have that font, though, but in all honesty anyone could do that one very simply.

I think I might know what font it is and may have it.

EDIT: How is this?

Hey, those are pretty good. If you can get creative and do one for the Winter Nights one (it was just a place holder), it'd be great. The same if you can do something with the bottom of the sea one.

Anyway, the font doesn't need to be exact, but I don't have the talents to customize the existing ones, and thus we're using the existing logos created long before I had ever even heard of Pokezam (and now Crystal Islands).

Again, thanks.

I would say that the font you used is even better than the original, Cat.

Sure thing.

I should also point out that while the "Bottom of the Sea" skin doesn't have any images that refer to PokéZam, it does have some generated text in the top-right that does. An admin will have to fix that.

Ah yes I know. I think we pretty much narrowed all the banners down. I'll triple check.

Wow guys, I just wanted to say that the new banners and skins are absolutely AMAZING. Especially the new one for my Winter Nights skin. <3

FW, thanks for thinking of giving the PZ skins to VR as well.

An improvement over the other Dialga banner I provided. This one more accurately replicates the font and style of the original.
