GFX Competition! Win 1 Year of RapidShare! [Bumped]

Well, since Lost just got released a while ago I thought I’d grab your attention while you’re all here (sneaky right?). We’ve had a few competitions in the past and we’ve always gotten a great response from all our lovely readers, so I thought of a new one for you all.
Basically what I’m looking for is a new banner for the Dark theme on the RLSLOG Forums. I like the old banner which Flawz edited together for me (much love), but I think its time to go for something simpler, more iconic. The following requirements NEED to be met in order to even give you the chance to win this competition:
- The banner needs to have the right dimensions. The height needs to be exactly 127 pixels. The width must be between 550 pixels and 800 pixels. Feel free to send in larger resolution images, but they must be resizable to the right dimensions.
- The banner should blend in with the forum. The way we did it with the current theme was that we have the main banner image, and then a tiny image which repeats itself to make it look like a line which continues no matter what size your screen is. Be creative, but its very important that it all looks slick. The colours should fit in with the theme as well (Dark_RLSLOG), but this dosen’t mean you can only use blue and black.
- The banner should be a logo. Something like “RLSLOG”, “Releaselog” or “RLSLOG Forums” must be included. You may use the font which is used for the logo here on the mainsite, but its not a requirement (Download Font: mirror#1, mirror#2).
Remember that often the simplest designs are the nicest. Take a look at the winner of our Birthday Competition.
The winner of the competition will win a 1 YEAR Premium Rapidshare account (courtesy of our generous member ThatOneGuy from the #rlslog channel). I will choose the winner. Important: If nothing suitable is sent in, nobody will win! But don’t worry about that, I believe in you all.
The competition will end in ONE WEEK (Friday the 23rd of May), so make sure you don’t procrastinate.

*angry eyes*
Don’t edit my posts!
Then don’t lie =P
one year of a usenet provider would be cool, one year of rapidshare …lol. pass.
Anyone have a tutorial on how the tiny image made the line that made the main banner appear to continue? I’ve always seen those but never quite understood the design and placement.

if you aint first,.. ur last
@ Sagara
You make the image you want to span across the background image in the table then you place your banner image on top of it. I’m sure you can find a tutorial on google.
Another one! I’m bored today!

why are you all posting your entries here. People might steal your ideas..
I’m not gonna post mine
I think its hard to win this (or any) competition with stolen ideas… if someone doesn’t have enough creativity and imagination, he/she won’t be able to do a fascinating and unique art – so skills aren’t enough.
true
Here is my design

your images are banned
you just need to hit another Enter on the URL after its fully loaded (don’t refresh, cuz’ that way the referer will also sent to the imageshack.us, and it seems rlslog.net domain is banned)
well i might do something in 3d, since my last entry (birthday com.) made it pretty high (2nd)
btw, a second and a third price would be nice…
^Wouldn’t make much sense, would it?
@53: =) Cool idea, like it.
all crap…
but keep it up.. lol
P.S.
..But best so far..honestly.. no 53
i think it would make sense. imagine 3 winning entries randomly reloading each time you open a thread or something. would be nice, wouldnt it?

Bumped the Article. Lots of entries so far, keep them coming. 3 more days left.
You guys never seem to get it: ImageShack bans your pictures because they exceed bandwith!
all that competition stuff is nice and all but you guys could post some releases too, i.e. Rambo 720p BluRay x264-REFiNED is pretty neat, i watched it couple hours ago and the quality is excellent (like all hd x264 rips…) and it even has DTS audio
So many posts but i don’t see a winner design.
@82,murat:
The posts are sent to the e-mail above. Only some people choose to post their designs here as well.
Yeah… lets go guys, enjoy this competition, I would like to participate…but I’am crap in design
what do you mean by “Well, since Lost just got released” what release? am i missing :S lol
@81 – you don’t seem to get it – those are old posts, this has been ‘bumped’ as staff explained the post before yours.
@85 – duh?! – see above – the ‘lost’ reference is from when this was originally posted
I thought I was the only one, I was like the Season Finale is somehow release a week early????? HOW THE &$#@&!&@&#&@&@*!(*$! Yea, I’m….yea.
Did i misread Reeged’s opening line to this post that a new lost was released?
Sorry i spent too long typing, the above explained..
The real sneaky thing is that this post is [bumped]!!???!!!
What the hell does this supposed to mean? I mean ok I got it now, but maybe I m not the brightest but what non com-geek would know what [bumped] means, really guys……not everyone is a know all the short forms wize guy…..
lol where is RAR virus!?
btw:
WinRAR.v3.71.WinALL-iND
2007-09-21
i think the pic at the top of the article would do just fine…we have a winner
is it just me or have these last few days been SLOW as far as the XViD releases? i did see earlier that ‘The Oxford Murders’ with Elijah Wood was pre’d a few hrs ago
i used to think bumped meant under the influence of a moderate amount (a bump) of a powder / crystalline drug such as cocaine or amphetamines – i haven’t had a bump myself for about 5 yrs
keeping my fingers crossed for some R5s in the next few days
i have to say that
#45 – BlueStar
#71 – Elclanrs
are by far the best, although over half of the entries here are banned imageshack, so we didn’t get to see all of them…
oh BTW it seems ReeGed and I were both right:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bump
#15 I won something in the last comp and received my prize, in China of all places too
so no problem there.
But what I want to know is why I havnt seen any change in the format to rlslog. I was wondering if they actually used any of the graphics submitted. I was looking forward to a change to the rlslog pages look
nice! i like the compo’s
Where’s Shutter Any News on a r5 date or better yet Doomsday With Good Audio no cam audio anyone know??
There are alot of good entries but Flipside is posting my favs. When are you guys gonna give rlslog.net a makeover? Hook it up to look like the forums! Get in touch with the dark side.
@90 Dont u know what bumped means?
Its pushed up …
I’m seeing some good stuff guys, keep it up. and quit using Imageshack.
How about next competition’s prize would be a brand new high-end PC’s for gamers, with free shipping..
My first attempt:

Well, since Lost just got released a while ago I thought I’d grab your attention while you’re all here (sneaky right?)

I can make template also, 20 dollars each.
127 is not a good size for height, height should be 128 or 116 or 144 or any number that can be divided by 16 (or if possible by 4). It makes it easier for compression (jpg, gif, png), unless you use vectors and svg(height doesn’t matter for svg).

@109 – Pod51
very cool your banner
i like it
Where is my submission??? not good enought?
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/brishear/RLSLOG-copy.jpg
i think the colors in the forum are crap and should adapt to the banner, i just makes more sense.
a top five listing should be done with 5 prizes just one isn´t fair for a brand new free banner.
the forum should blend with the banner because the colors in the forum are just wrong, and also 1 prize isn´t much for a free job. dont´t waste you time.
I made That And I think It’s the Best
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd184/elfitiany/RLSLOG.png
I Hope I Win
