I have a couple static buttons I use for Webmaster-Talk, but I am looking for a more professional one.

If you would like to design a 88 x 31 button for our forums, I will provide 10,000 free banner impressions on our forums to the winner (if I choose to use the banner). $25 value.

Attached is an old button I did that obviously needs work (the button you make does not have to look similiar).

Thanks,
Chief

Here is one to check out. Hard to fit much on such a small banner.

By professional, do you mean animated in some way?

Thank Fonz,
I might buy a couple from 20dollarbanners as you can't beat that price.

The Crow,
Thanks a bunch. Those are rather simple, but I do appreciate the samples. I'll let you know if I decide to use one of them.

Here's my go at it, darker colors and animation.

RedMage and ognen,

I really like both of yours!

Would you both be willing to take 5000 banners impressions each for use of your banners?

So I don't have to pick just one winner.

Go ahead and PM me your Banner URL, link to address, name, and email and I'll get your setup with the free impressions.

Crow, your links above don't work!

**TimSchroeder** · 06-19-2003, 12:32 PM

I was just testing those banners and the button exchange I am using only allows a size max of 7168 bytes. Can yall try reducing them to under that amount??

**ognen** · 06-19-2003, 02:07 PM

Thanks for your choose Chief.
I was just reduce the animated button to 6.86k.

**RedMage** · 06-19-2003, 03:23 PM

6.684K, Had to cut the animation short and lose some colors but it's still decent.

If you still decide you want mine, I don't want any banner impressions. Give them all to Ognen.

How about a custom avatar instead?

**The Crow** · 06-19-2003, 06:55 PM

Chief my site was down today they work now.

**TimSchroeder** · 06-19-2003, 07:03 PM

Cool Crow!

I really like the second one. They should get peoples attention.

Anyway you can make the text a little bit bigger on both of them?

Also, I would need them under 7168 bytes.

**The Crow** · 06-19-2003, 07:33 PM

I was able to make the text bigger, but with the effects I can't get them under 20k, sorry.

**TimSchroeder** · 06-19-2003, 07:40 PM

Well thank for trying! I cant use them at the button exchange I am using at the moment, but I'll let you know if I can use them somewhere else.

**Loon** · 06-20-2003, 12:03 PM

Thought i'd post a couple of buttons also, but i couldn't come up with an animated one under 7168bytes i'm afraid

**IBanners** · 06-21-2003, 06:39 AM

Hey Chief,

I just launched www.incrediblebanners.com maby you would be interested?

**The Crow** · 06-25-2003, 05:43 AM

Chief
If you ever need a larger banner, just let me know. I would be happy to make one with special effects. No charge for WT.
