Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2009 6:13 pm Post subject: The GH Banner Thread (New OP and Wiki Updated 9/12) |
|
|
Welcome to the GH Banner Thread! Here you can request banners and look through the Wiki for ones that have already been made. To start off:
A VERY IMPORTANT RULE YOU MUST FOLLOW. YOU MUST, UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, HOST YOUR OWN BANNERS. HERE IS HOW TO DO SO:
Quote: | 1. Right-Click the banner you want.
2. Click "Save Image As" choose a name and click Save
3. Create an account to use Photobucket or just use TinyPic.
4. For Photobucket, click "Upload Images and Video" on your page and choose the banner from your hard drive.
5. For TinyPic, just click "Browse", then "Upload Now!"
6. Get the URL from the hosting site you used, and put it in [img] tags:
Code: | [img]http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/tmac2magic103/Homemade%20Banners/Jordan.png[/img] |
This results in:
|
If you have any questions on this process, please ask in the thread or PM a banner maker.

Now that that's out of the way, here are some useful links that you may find interesting:
Guitar Hero Banner Wiki Page(Credits to LethalFishEater)
Rock Band Banner Wiki Page
82erkle's GH Banners (Retired)
The Rock Band Banner Thread (The Rock Band Banner Super Thread! Click it for Rock Band Sigs!)
ScoreHero Signature Dimension Checker (PLEASE USE THIS WHEN EDITING YOUR SIGNATURE)
___________________________________________________
Instrument Icons:
Should you decide to make your own banners, here are some 300x40 friendly icons. Again, please host them yourself:
You can also go here for bigger icons in Gold, Silver, Grey, and White. You will obviously have to resize them yourself though. Credits to TheThirdDay for making these based on the GH:WT Icons, he made them himself so be sure to thank him!
___________________________________________________
Requesters: Don't be afraid to request a banner but keep in mind I have a personal standard of difficulty. Here is my post reflecting this:
vosnos wrote: | Hey guys, I just want to make a general announcement. From now on, the banners I make will have a difficulty standard that is essentially up to my discretion. This has pretty much been my philosophy prior to this but I just wanted to publicize it and give everyone a chance to read it. Of course, I mean no disrespect if I were to reject your request, please understand. Back when I first began earning banners, there were very few I could display in my signature. This motivated me to keep trying and ultimately turned me into a better player. That general mindset has stuck with me throughout my time making banners. Please don't be offended if I do not make your requests, this is just my personal policy and it is nothing personal.
Thanks for reading. |
With that said, I'm sure other banner makers would be happy to fulfill your requests. Everyone has their own personal preferences and policies when making banners.

So guys, try something new! Try a cool text or a gradient or maybe drop some shadows behind the icons here and there. EXPERIMENT! |
I'm reposting this in this side's thread so people see it. I know it's not as bad on this side as it is on the RB side, but the "text on the left, background focus slightly off center, instrument icon on right" format is still a common thing over here. In any case, I love seeing originality in banners. |
Yes, don't be afraid to be original! Creativity is always welcome here and we will always offer our thoughts and constructive criticism. Who knows, you may come up with the next "classic" banner layout

I have a couple suggestions for you. First, I'd use urls more like this: Expert Guitar Full Game FC. Tinypic url's aren't exactly fun to look at. Secondly, it's a little hard to read the text on some of your banners. I don't know if it's the lack of an outline or the watermark effect, but the Dyers Eve and Hey You (and a couple others) are hard to make out.
Things look good otherwise, though.
I'll probably wind up contributing a few banners. ^_^ _________________

To Prong: Great banners, but may I suggest them being in url's like the first post? I think everyone doing that would be easier for this thread (And to just ctrl+f If they want a certain banner)
To ThunderAlex: URL's however make it easier to search exactly what you want, not as much loading, and doesn't make the first page gigantic/hard to load (I should know; I had loading issues on a few places with erkle's front post)
As for instrument icons: ( I have some blank space on there to >.<)
http://i44.tinypic.com/14mq8mx.png - Guitar
http://i40.tinypic.com/153a0t5.png - Bass
http://i43.tinypic.com/24vlnad.png - Drums
http://i39.tinypic.com/15s7ihi.png - Vocals
Since all the sizes other than the guitar are messed up, try scrolling just on the icons, and resizing the length down from 40 to 32. I'll put icons on the first post after I get back. (That won't need people to resize it themselves and stuff)

1.Fixed the tinypic url's ^_^
2.Yeah the Hey You one is hard...I'll try something with that one, I'm just trying to also keep consistency here...And thanks.
Anyhow, keep on requesting...I'm off for a while but I'll be back later with more banners _________________

until you get all of Erkle's banners reposted (in your own style, i guess), you should link to his thread so that others can use them (only until you have all his banners reposted/remade). Also remind them to not post in it.
Anyway, how bout Nothin' But a Good Time Expert and hard FC and Caught in a Most expert and hard FC (both for 80s) _________________

These are two that I made, but I'm not very satisfied with them. I don't have any high resolution instrument icons, so I couldn't change the color of them. (I could, but they'd look shitty.)
Raining Blood X+
Through the Fire and Flames X+
Edit: Fuck. I put "Through the Fire an Flames."
I'll redo it later. |

Hm, then it'll be hard to update the OP with other people's banners if they don't put them up as URLs themselves. Okay, I'll start putting it up from now on.
And thanks for the icons, man . I used the RB guitar Icon in my previous 4 banners:

I'll definitely redo them with other background image and the guitar icon you gave me. As if they don't suck enough ....
I'll especially have to redo the PWM banner, it sucks as hell.

Don't worry, I'm sure somebody else will make them, too.
I made more:
Yeah, just repeating the same over and over again _________________

For the text: Yes, some banner's are a bit odd, so I'm thinking of doing what I did with my CbH Non-SH One (You'll see in this post) To a lot of the more difficult reading ones. - I'll get some other prototypes up soon.
And I think I'll keep it as text...There's going to be tons of banners here in the next few days.
Well, I'm done recreating the GH1 ones along with a few others (Very early DLC Banners, and a Cowboys from Hell GH:SH One) Here they are:
