I really like this one...




but I have some suggestions:

At first glance I read "he Mushroom Kingdom"... Try a gold "T" to start it off, lengthen the platform that has "dom" just a little, and move the URL to the bottom. I like the NES font.

Super-Dino-Yoshi, the background is a fair idea, but it's not too well put together. It just doesn't really blend.

I noticed if I changed the letters from "gold" to peach, they blend in with the stalks better.  So, I don't think it will be hard to register that I'm using the first platform as a T.  I'm sticking with this idea, because I think it's a good one, and it's what made me start making these banners!  Anyway, do you think changing the O's to coins and a shroom is a little much?  And I also can't move the URL to the bottom b/c it gets partially covered up and blends in with the stalks.  I could change the color of the URL, but I think white is pretty appropriate.  I gave it a little more room to "breathe" though.

were you talking about the Luigi's Mansion or the one I wanted to know if it was worth working on?

InfinitysEnd, Personally I like the idea for the letter T, but I don't think that the coins and mushrooms really work. I may be wrong, but that is just what I think. I personally like the peach more than the gold as well. I also think you got the G-mail account in the bag...

Yeah, sprites or items make better bullets than letters. In addition, I think the "T" would be less confusing if it was closer to the size of an actual letter. Anyhow, does anyone have any comments on my latest banners (bottom of page six)?

InfinitysEnd: The reason I liked the gold so much was because it reminded me of gold coins atop the platforms in SMB. I don't like the Mushroom and Coins substituting letters in that banner.

Suffix: I like the thumbs-up Mario version better. Don't anti-alias the sprite, and maybe there is too much red.

I really like that, InfinitysEnd.


Just for the heck of it, I made one:

That looks terrific!  I like all the mushrooms in the background and the night sky, and all the colors blend together pretty well.  But... was that meant to be a copy of InfinitysEnd's banner? (that sounded weird)

I think that we should ask the good, kind (insane) folks at Nintendorks to help out with this.  They make millions of cool banners as strange as they are.  Of course I'm only joking here.

Hey Deezer, why on Earth was my thread closed in General Mario Chat?  Was it because that Melee isn't considered a Mario game or did it have something to do with Rookie?  I can't believe it.  My first thread gets only a few replies and my second one is closed down after one.  I'm terrible at choosing good topics.

Mmmmmm... makes me hungry for marshmallows and ice cream.  I'm not so sure about that one.  It just looks a little too plain in my worthless opinion (but yeah it could be cool in the winter).  Mario, stop blinking at me!
