Haha great use of the media releases Vis



I have a collection of images taken from a couple photo sessions that you guys can use, it's pretty much only Russian stuff though.

Of course you can mate as long as its constructive. I will give the GAU image a work over and try to fix the issue.

If your thinking what I'm thinking you will see my updated version and we will all be made of win.

EDIT: New banner is up its a transparent .png so it will show what ever colour the background it is on which is white in this case.

very nice sabre xD

[Captain_Wolf]

The orange filter effect is a bit much IMHO. Maybe apply it to one or two but not all of them. Otherwise they look sexy as.

pretty good.

where did you get those screenshots? what game is it?

arma 2...

[Chanvlan]

Did you really have to quote all of them dtacs??

Also, nice work Sabre, maybe select the best few, not the whole 20 odd of them cause its sort of a copy past job :/

No offence or anything mate, nice work keep it up

[sabre19]

thanks fellas,

EDIT: Yeah i just did a bunch mate, and i like 'uniformity' for things like this so they are just different screens really, but yeah it isnt upto me which ones if any darth & co wanna use so may aswell show them all the options.

Here they are without ranga overlay, combined them and made them smaller just to save on kb's, have to give credit to TankCommander for a few of the A2 screens.

[Uncle_Darth]

These are community banners and as such will go through a voting process held by the community, not just up to me and my co

[Noddy]

Hey Sabre..can you give me a .png of your BigD...quite like

[Captain_Wolf]

They look super sexy now Sabre, some of my votes definitely going towards them.

I say we get as many new banners as possible, variety is the spice of life and all that.

[S.O.P]

One thing I'm noticing, the BigD text/logo and the GAU text/logo is almost different in every banner.

The orange/blue of BigD looks good, but if someone uses the green from GAU, it clashes.

I'm really liking Sabre's BIGD logo, it's entirely legible and 'in your face'. It's worth adopting 'as' the BigD logo and using that, and only that, in all works regarding BigD.

What I'm saying, the inconsistencies between logos irks me but I suppose variety is the spice of life. Me, I prefer a standardised system.

[sabre19]

Here is the .png of the BigD for anyone keen to use it.

Personally I am a big fan of crisp clean images, the crazy distortion effects put me off like I am on a bad acid trip. Just my personal opinion though.

[Chanvlan]

I would say, Focus more on the text Jamo, and less of the middle two images, more of the right and left side, more so right.

Maybe try taking you military images or whatever and just adding them together in a compilation as opposed to a row, maybe then apply some simple filters like Sabres "orange" one.

The Neons look REALLY good, together, not with the other images, maybe a compilation of Neon images would be pretty awesome (the middle two are neon)

Yer not to bad, just try and more wisely allocate the use of filters. So all neons, or all charcole etc, but dont mix them, otherwise they always look shaby.

Good job mate.
