I need a good banner for my (future) forum, Nintendonic. Obviously, it's a Nintendo/Sonic forum. Anyway, since my GIMP skills are...less than great, I'm challenging anyone to make a good banner for me. I'll pick the best one to use. Here are the requirements:

- Must be 800x150 (same size as TBT's banner)
- Must be in PNG format
- Please use all of the characters and the Nintendonic (one of them) from here. (Don't use the icons or the nintendonic_rb banner.) They're all rendered for you, but you'll have to scale them down to size.
- Must be GOOD! That includes an awesome background! ^_^

So if you're up for the challenge...well, go ahead and impress me, lol. And don't worry, I will give credit to however makes it.

Edit: It would be great if you could send me the project (Photoshop, GIMP, whatever) in case I'd ever need to make changes. Thanks.

Here's a sample banner I made, and I'm using it as my forum's temporary banner right now. As you can see, I'm not any good at making backgrounds, so I just used white.
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">

</div>
Edit again: I just realized that I didn't flip the characters on the bottom vertically and horizontally, so I fixed that. I also added Sonic characters. They can be found on my Photobucket album. I added them all to my banner, too. Here it is:
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">

</div>
It actually doesn't look that bad...except for the background, that is. I guess I could just have someone make a good 800x150 background, and I could just use that. Then someone could add cool effects, like I see on all the signatures around here.
 
Anyone? =( Here's the logo (one of them)...

<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">

Yeah, I took Internet Publishing last year, but all I can remember is basic HTML, lol.

So...anyone else up for it?
 
I'll give it a shot. I don't think it'll end well... there's too many characters in such a small space.

i have a good design in mind with those images :)
Ooh, I can't wait to see! I was thinking that the characters could all be around the logo. You know, the characters on the bottom would be upside down and the characters on the sides would be...on their side, lol. Kinda like the AC:WW picture with all the characters around the globe.

Here's an example:

<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">

The ugly bumps around the logo are where characters go. Very crude, I know. XD

Oh, great! Maybe you can help me start working on it after I get a banner. It's a ZetaBoard, like TBT. The forum is here, but it's offline right now.
