So, TMK is moving to TheMushroomKingdom.net?
Will the site colors and style stay the same?
Do you need anything else?
Post by: Deezer on October 09, 2004, 08:20:44 PM
The domain is already active (it forwards)... We'll probably be on ClassicGaming forever, unless we can get access to E3 another way.
Site design is staying the same.

nintendoexpert89 (GMail): too boxy, text is too small
MamaMia Mario: Haha, but at least make sure people can tell who that is on the banner... I might move the text around a bit as well
Luigison #1: 404 Not Found
Luigison #2: please antialias resized objects
LlamaYoshi eleven11: Mario font is overused in bad ways (you can see through the letters) ... crappy white pixels surround the image
TEM: way, way too cluttered
Ian #1(GMail) general comments: use PNG format so you don't have color/detail loss
Ian #2(GMail): green blob looks kinda weird
cowman (GMail): very bad collaging job, negated images don't look good, motto doesn't make sense
Super-Dino-Yoshi #1: I don't get the motto... and "kinda" is spelled wrong
Super-Dino-Yoshi #2: I don't like the font substitution

Nice, very old-school look to it. Perfect character art and the 1-Up dotting the "i" is a nice touch. White text is OK, though the font style is iffy and there's no dot in "dot net" (or it's too dark and my monitor isn't bright enough).

Space Yoshi X: The Mushroom Kingdom text looks bad and is spelled wrong, does not include new URL
Zeus Koopa: Okay, but I don't like the font or colors of the main text
mariofan 7: Does not include new URL
DrewK #1: Shift the text over so that Toad and Mario have even spacing around them... have you considered a very slight shadow behind the text? It's got potential
AV-Cables #1: Too bright?
AV-Cables #2: Bad spacing
AV-Cables #3: I like the font style, but I don't like the SSS sprites.
AV-Cables #5: Motto is nearly unreadable
AV-Cables general: Bit-ness isn't important anymore so I don't care for the tagline. You're joking about the "128-bit karts" right? That doesn't even make any sense.
Super Dino Yoshi #5: Style is nice, but I don't like FLUDD and there's too much space around Mario
Super Dino Yoshi #6: Okay what is with the nonsensical taglines?
Super Dino Yoshi #7,#8,#9: Animation isn't worth the bandwidth; 1 loop isn't good since you can miss it, and multiloop isn't good unless you time it properly
aD-aX: I definitely like the 3D text... maybe make the star smaller, get rid of the "the" and ".net" and put the whole URL below it and use a different Mario
Brien DeRosa (GMail): TMK looks crappy and the banner is kinda empty, but I do like the tagline idea
Mr. Mime (GMail): Stretched text looks bad.. floating Bob-omb...
Double D (GMail): Bad antialiasing on Mario, bad text spacing, don't like the colors
nintendoexpert89 #2: Disembodied heads are odd... banner is just too... plain
Ian #3 (GMail): Pretty good, might try to make the text like our current header so that the outline is even
Ian #4 (GMail): Still don't like the green blob
Ian #6 (GMail): Pretty good, might combine some of the ideas from #3
Ian (general) (GMail): Might try a different motto, Deezer also noted that the huge amount of red and green use makes it look like Christmas

They allow you to run past first base, so if you slide it'll just slow you down and you won't be beating many throws. You should slide into first if the throw takes the first baseman off the base, because he'll try to tag you.

EDIT: I'm probably getting way too excited about this whole thing but I just added 3 more coins to make it 7, which represents the seven years the site has been running (since 1997). I don't know if you would want me to put that in the banner somewhere, but it's just an idea I thought could work pretty well.

Infinity's End: I've always liked border effects, as seen with our logos and Forum logo. Pretty good idea with the 'shroom platform. Maybe give the URL and tagline some more room to breathe, and use Super Mario All Stars sprites instead?

HOT TIP #1: Pasting a bunch of random Mario sprites will not make you a winner!
HOT TIP #2: Anti-alias everything except sprites
mariofan 7: Fix the font aliasing and the URL
DrewK #3: The 1-up looks misaligned... does the whitish drop shadow look good behind the text?
Infested_Gnome: Bad text overlap, URL too small, sprites blurry
Super-Dino-Yoshi #10-#20: STOP with the senseless taglines! You don't need to submit so many color variations, especially when they don't help readability... you should outline the text to make it readable. Mario needs to be antialiased.
Suffix i1a: White light on the main text is too bright
Suffix i2a: White mist and especially the oval is too bright.. are they even necessary?
Mr. Mime #2 (GMail): Still don't like the IT'S A MARIO line... rest of banner is too dead
Joey (GMail): Bad cropping job on the mushroom, might rearrange the sprites a bit, get rid of the @ sign, and make the text clearer... different colors if necessary
InfinitysEnd #1-6: I like the NES-type font for the URL. The T platform is a nice idea, but it gets a little lost... what if you styled the font in the same manner as the platform? Stuff seems a little jammed to the left side.
aD-aX (GMail) #2: I don't know if I like that particular sprite, but I love the text style... maybe add a tagline or something to use up the rest of the space.
KoopaShell: Nope.

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.

XanderX: Maybe we'll have to decide on a new tagline or keep the "All about Mario", not sure what I want to do yet.
Super-Dino-Yoshi: Your taglines still don't make any sense.
Yoshisaurus Rex: Who said anything about getting in the mailbag? Though I was considering throwing in a bonus prize of an @themushroomkingdom.net forwarding address, especially because so many banner makers already have Gmail.

Now, to be serious for once, what if there was a banner with a background of mushrooms or blocks or something and surrounding the words "The Mushroom Kingdom" were a bunch of Marios with different powers such as Raccoon Mario, Fire Mario, Caped Mario, Winged-Cap Mario, and so on. I dunno, it's just a thought.
On November 21st, Nintendo will unleash the greatest handheld system on America that this world has ever seen. Two screens, two extra buttons, one touch-sensitive screen, wireless multiplayer, voice recognition, and more. Prepare to severely wet yourself.

InfinitysEnd: Your work is really nice. However, either fix the T, or we just can't use it.
TMKbannershroomtext.png: Glad you tried out my idea. It works, but not as well as the ones you did after that...
TMKbannercoinlogo.png: Love the golden text
TMKbannerpeachwtag.png: It would look better if the "The" wasn't italicized.
TMKbannerpeach.png: It's better with the tagline.
TMKbannershroom2.png: The problem here is not the coin and mushroom itself, but the type of coin and mushroom used. If you did it like aD-aX, it could work.
TMKbannerani.gif: Very nice looking, except the T of course.
TMKbanneranitag1.gif / TMKbanneranitag2.gif / TMKbanneranitag3.gif / TMKbanneranitag4.gif: Hmm I bet we could come up with something wittier than that for the tagline, but they do look nice.
Suffix: Looking good. I'm just going to list some possible alterations to make things more interesting.
tmkbanner-i1c.jpg: What if the main text was Super Mushroom themed? (add white dots)
tmkbanner-i2c.jpg: How about outlining the main text somehow?
Super-Dino-Yoshi:
TMKbanner19.jpg: The light gradient is weird on the left side.
TMKbanner20.jpg: Too dim and poor URL font
TMKbanner-dud.jpg: Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on here...
TMKbanner21.gif / TMKbanner22.gif: You forgot the .net and perhaps a tagline along the ground level (one of ours).
TMKbanner23.jpg: No, the M in that case is okay, but yes, lose the tagline.
TMKbanner24.jpg: And by lose the tagline I mean use ours or one that describes the site better rather than just having clouds.
¥tterbiJúm: Poorly pasted text and simple sprites won't cut it.
XanderX: Wow, somebody's just jumped to the top of the pack!
tmk_banner_468x60.png: Very nice.
tmk_banner_468x60_v2.png: Nope, don't like the tagline colors or tagline itself.
tmk_banner_468x60_v3.png: This could work, but it's spelled "definitive" You might be able to lighten the blue a bit to make it more readable.
tmk_banner_468x60_v4.png: Don't like the tagline.
Brian S. (GMail): Yes, that's waaaaaaaaaaay too cluttered and wholly unreadable.
Typhlosion (GMail): Sorta funny, but what's with the negative image parts of the main text? Again, sprites-only won't cut it.
Shadic (GMail): It's okay, but just that, okay. The text seems stretched or antialiased strangely.
HOT TIP: It's okay to "steal" others' ideas that we like. If you do, you and the person with the original idea will both "win" the contest.
Things we like:
3D text that really stands out
Tagline inclusion
Original or creative use of art
Things we don't like:
Only sprites
Nonsensical taglines
Aliasing
Poor pasting/layout jobs
Poor font use
Remember, the banner should compel people who haven't heard of the site before to visit.

And I don't need the Gmail so you can give it to InfinitysEnd if you want. :P
Or I can give you the .psd file too, so you can make your own tagline. Whichever.

Second, use the HTML code <img src="adress of the file">
Third, replace adress of the file with the adress. It will be something like http://www.geocities.com/SuperSonicYoshi/Banner1.png giving you
<img src="http://www.geocities.com/SuperSonicYoshi/Banner1.png">
Fourth, use the checkbox that says "Check here to use HTML in your message" after you are certain that the checkmark is there post the message.
