Thirdkoopa, to be honest, I don't like your banners. Not that they're bad, I just don't like them because of the text. It's hard to read, and diagonal writing is just.... well, IMO, it's not fun . Let's take your "Death magnetic album FC Club" IF that is written on that banner.... it took me really long to read it. You should at least avoid white letters on a white background without a FAT outline....

EDIT: Decided to make more since I'm extremely bored.... (and to try out some new fonts, so some banners suck because I tried the new font on them >_>... oh wait, they all suck anyway xD)


See, when I saw this font I thought it would be amazing to have it, but unfortunately, it is too thin....


I tried to do a Prong here and to make the font the same color as the background but still readable.... I failed


My new fire font or something.... nothing special about this one.


It's that smoking lady from Pulp Fiction!


How do you like multicolored font?


Earthquake font is really cool, right?



Yes, I actually used the picture of a real hurricane.

I'll update these banners in my original post.

Earthquake font is the one I like the best of yours.

As for the banner's, yes, I need to fix the ones that are very hard to read (Even If I have 20/20 vision, I found some of these as 'WTF') Even the ones I fixed with adding black text still could use more (The regular words being black?) I'll mess around in gimp, I mean, this:

Just doesn't feel like I'm fixing the problem enough.

I'll fix ones that extremely need the fixing, then work on GH2 ones (Along with some DLC Ones)

Yeah, the Earthquake font rocks, right? I might give you a link to download it, but I'm not entirely sure if it's legal....

Yeah, for your banners, have you tried working in Paint.NET? It's so much easier than gimp, and you can always add new effects and such. You can pimp it up to be better than gimp, so give it a try, experiment a little, you said that you have a lot of time on your hands.

Hmm, I did NbaGT before, now here are the CiaM ones (oh, and don't let your hopes down, I'm sure Prong or Thirdkoopa will remake them), along with some other banners:



Here they are.



I made these 2 to try out my new font and because I really really really like the song!


I've been told this is a "bloody" font... but I see almost no blood at the bottom of the letters! Thought it'll be better than this ...


Don't ask, just felt like it >_>

If you want I'll start remaking banners too, just please stop using the duplicated/disjointed/diagonal text... I know doing this takes a lot of time and hard work, so I don't want to come off an a jerk. But I really can't read (or enjoy looking at) a lot of your banners. I'm sure Prong or I or others would love to help you if you ever want/need it.

Trust me, I'm a calm person, you don't have to worry about hurting my feelings out of this. It's not like you're flaming or anything. I kinda started thinking the duplicate thing got annoying anyways. I have all the .XCF's saved, so to change them doesn't take much work.

I think I'll just take out the duplicates and have the regular font a bit diagonal; It's to confusing with two and only works with a few extremely well.

Thanks for the critism, I'm off to edit. I'm completely fine with more critism/help.

Wait, speaking of this, how does this work?:


I'd like suggestions and whatnot before I edit all of them. XD (That doesn't just go to GuitarHailz; I mean critism from everyone who has any ideas/w/e)

@ThunderAlex: I'll give paint.net a try for sure. It may be better.

Well, I wouldn't use the diagonal font so much at all. Look, it looks awesome cool when it's duplicated, but it's just often hard to read, that's why you should use that on lighter banners (by "lighter" I don't mean the weight, but the color depth). And the diagonal-only font should be used rarely, mostly when you feel like it, or for again, lighter banners. I'd suggest using a "normal" font. Go here. You have A LOT of new fonts to download, they're even categorized and there's an example for every one of them. If you're Windows user, after you download your font, extract it somewhere, go to Control Panel>Fonts, then File>Install New Font, and then browse to your extracted font. They're usually a .ttf file type. Good luck .

EDIT: Awesome banners, Hailz.

Also, Thirdkoopa, you don't need the guitar icon for GH1-GH:A. You'll have more space for the text if you don't put it there .

And I forgot to mention that the Spanish Castle Magic banner looks far better in your last post.

EDIT 2: Woo more banners:

So, liek, I made a banner. But it looks really bad. I can't tell exactly what makes it look bad, or else I'd fix it, but it just looks... wrong.

I'll offer some (hopefully) constructive criticism.
-It's missing a border around the entire banner. Almost any banner looks better with a 1 pixel wide black border around it.

-Pick a more legible font. Something like Century Gothic (inv4der's banners) or Verdana (most of my banners) would work, since the letters are easily recognizable as the appropriate letter, for example I thought the banner said "The Why It Ends" because of how close the 'a' looks to a normal 'h'.

-I try to avoid having other text besides the stuff you put in, so maybe try to use a different section of the album cover. (But this is purely my opinion, so take it or leave it)

-Finally, a border around the text is essentially a must for any banner.

I don't know about this one; Erkle doesn't use a border and he's pretty much my favorite banner maker. Ill try, but I dunno.

Fair enough, though I chose that one because it looked similar to the font on the album cover.

I thought about that, but I tried to base this one off of Erkle's banner.

This was my original thought, and I tried to add one, but I couldn't think of an efficient way to do so, and when I did it to a few letters, it actually looked worse...

Thanks for the help, I'll try to add the borders.

More banners! Mostly GH3 ones this time.


The only non-GH3 banner this time. What? The outro strumming is really hard. It deserves a banner!


Tried out a blur effect. I duplicate the layer with the text, and blur the lower one. Doesn't look that bad actually....



What what? The chugging riff is really hard, this song is underrated IMO.



It's really hard to find a good bg pic for this one.



Kinda reminds me of erkle's banner.....



Finally found a good bloody font.



This, too, reminds me of erkle's banner.



I think I succeeded to create a readable text that's in the same color as the bg. Well whatever, I could've always used the see-through fonts xD.


fudrick, I have a tip for you: If it's really hard to find a good background picture, use random awesomeness.

At first I thought that, but when I looked closely I saw the text.
