    1. I prefer the writing to be in all black font. it's easier to read.
    2. The image is a little hard to see and faded.
    3. You can leave out our logo. It makes the banner crowded.
    4. the gradient between jewelryvortex and click here is a little off.

    Overall, it's a good start.

    JackieH,

    I like the jewelryvortex banner. But the goldenmine banner needs a bit of polishing up. I'm not too fond of the black background. Even just a simple white background is preferable.

    Yugo, I like the jewelryvortex banner now, except is it possible to use our font for the brand name? The color is fine.

    -For the goldenmine banner, i like it also except I'd like if you could use our font.

    WTF?! I cannot believe you tried to pull such bullshit by using the smallest font possible. I hope you get banned for that.

    Yugo, you should withdraw your entries. He plans to use the banners whether he pays for them or not.

    This does require clarification.

    Submitted banners are normally done on the basis that a payment will be made if they will be used.

    If the terms are that you may use them regardless then you need to more explicit than usual to avoid the ire of forum members.

    jackie, i am not trying to get free work done. that is just to CMOA. If you are paranoid of getting your banner used without winning, just include a large watermark on the banner. Problem solved.

    CLARIFICATIONS
    1. The banner will not be used if the banner is not chosen as a winner.
    2. Everyone should include a watermark if necessary
    3. If the banner is great, obviously I will want to pay to use it because I need the banner delivered in multiple sizes.
    4. Poor quality banners have no value to me
