Whys the full size version so big? :P

In the words of Charlie sheen “that’s how I roll”. But a serious answer, maybe its coz I set Photoshop to 16bit and 300dpi? 30cm by 8cm

Moved some shizzle about…

Two things are wrong with that:

1) the font for ETF2L doesn’t suit it
2) capitalization, or actually, the lack off, on european team fortress 2 league :E

then again that is just me

get rid of the time, useless feature imo.

make the capture point blocks a bit clearer, looks like they are low quality stretched etc

and the TF2 logo is blurry :E

Nice, I especially like the scout one. Just remember to leave space somewhere for the login etc ;)

the capture point blocks is a great idea but like already told the quality is bad :)

maybe a mix of the capture point block text and this one http://postimage.org/image/3rtdfcypx/ would be cool

Thanks :) You still think the quality is too low? That link is now the updated version with the blocks re-done in better detail.

EDIT: Do you mean the res is too low? Because it’s 1000×210 which is what the News announcement said was the size requirement. I notice yours are far bigger though.

Suggesting a collaboration? Or planning on copying my idea :P

Not that it would win, but u would be welcome to the headphones. I dont want any nasty gaming headphones, I would persoanaly give them away anyway, or added them to some prize pot or flog them on ebay.

Ur welcome to the PSD, assuming u have photoshop.

Scout one suffers from too many types of fonts as well as too many colours. The key is to not over complicate and try to stick to about 3 different colours. For example ETF2L’s current Banner has Orange, light blue and dark blue as its key colours with fonts that are similar. This seems to be a general trend with most peoples Banners, just keep trying!

Quality of rounded corners could be better and compression artefacts on the red ones. I tried to redraw them, feel free to use, if you think they are any better. And never save interface elements in .jpg. Good luck, best logo by far.

– Really not a huge fan of the TF2 font. Dunno exactly what it is but just don’t like it, maybe it’s too cartoony and round or something. Could be that it’s too obvious.
– Argh all the colours, so many colours. Especially on a dark grey background like that.
– Just adding the mac promo scout pic on there makes it seem really lazy and kinda boring.
– Using all those fancy blending options in Photoshop is cool and all but just slapping them there doesn’t really do any good. If anything I think it looks awful especially on the European Team Fortress 2 League bit where the blue and red are really strong and in my eyes they mix together so that it’s really hard to focus on.

I hope that there’s people outside this thread doing their own banners. Take that as you will.
