Advertising Banner Contest 55$

    Hi Guys,

    I want you to design a banner of 120px (width) by 250px (length) for the Super Trackstick (www.trackstick.com).
    It will serve as a commercial banner and we want people to click the banner and of course buy the product.

    The Super Trackstick is a GPS tracking system which stores all locations on its internal memory.
    Afterwards routes can be viewed on Google earth as a coloured trace.

    An idea I have myself is that you take some pictures from Google Earth ( from areas which are very detailed of course ) and that you show the trace which moves/lengthens over the map just like if something was moving and we were following and saving the whole route.

    Also use the following text:

    Trackstick
    Follow anything that moves

    You can also use the pictures from the official trackstick website (www.trackstick.com).
    We are an authorized seller and have the permission to use their pics.

    I also like this picture (only the globe):

    http://www.gearthstore.com/images/earthglobe.jpg


    I tried to explain everything as clear as possible.
    I already gave some ideas but you guys are the artists and your own creativity and originality will be highly appreciated.

    We'll end this contest within a couple of days.
    There is no pressure, we'll see how long it takes.

    Payment by Paypal.

    If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask!

    Thank you!

    Kind regards,
    Kris

    add melting fire:

    indeed I mean 250 px hight

    add spiky:

    that sounds like a good idea, but maybe a more general symbol 'vehicle' would be better instead of a lorry.

    add everyone:

    I'm looking forward to your designs

    Well, it is about promoting your business. Do you have an affiliate program?

    at GPS mapper

    I don't have an affiliate program.
    I also guess your blog (which I like!) has mainly US visitors.
    That's less interesting as I'm from BE.

    If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to PM me.

    Thanks for the response. I had no idea Trackstick wasn't a U.S. company! Good luck with the contest.

    Hi Silvers,

    thanks for the mock up.
    movement attracts the attention of visitors so I would prefer a flash or gif banner.
    Please also read the comment for spiky.

    that's a good idea about the moving background.
    in this way it will look like a camera is following the vehicle.
    also leave a trace
    maybe afterwards zoom out and show the route?

    Here's my try, it can obviously be tweaked, the transitition on the map for instance, but I'm not gonna work my ass off if you don't like it :D
