    Hello there.

    I need a creative banner for my HYIP Forum. It should be 468x60 only.
    Banner will be used only for promotion of the forum and needs to be *calling a visitor to join*

    Also, here is a banner of the site. The forum banner should be similar.

    This is a simple contest, post your banner, ask questions etc. as soon as I see something I really like I'll buy it.
    And the prize for the winner is $50

    The winner will also have to create a similar banner for the VBulletin forum to be used as a forum logo.

    Also if you are interested to join the contest, please post here first :)

    ~ Michael

    Very nice banner for a non-designer ;)
    I'd like it to be more colorful, similar to this one
    [​IMG]
    Also may be a bit more creative title...

    grubb: fix the typos and try to make it a bit more creative maybe to compete others..

    justagirl: I don't like the black background, change it and maybe add a picture..

    gamezmania: nice idea, but it's "HYIP", not "hype", besides the picture is completely off topic..

    MissLee: good, but "free registration" is not neded (it's obvious), besides add a picture or something..

    kniveswood: too humble lol you need more than that to compete here ;)

    execute: very professional, but it should be .gif or something like that, just a banner, also add picture

    313i: very good ! Add somewhere that it's a forum and if possible add some gold pictures, or pictures of money etc..

    Also I think we'll have a winner soon.. :)

    Honestly I like your banner the most, don't even know how you can improve it better.. :D Gold bars are good, some picture of a happy person with money would be perfect IMO. Also polish it a bit: "Forum" seems a little out of context.

    Anyway lets wait some more time to see what others have to offer :)

    I converted to GIF, however, i do not recommend it. Keeping it a Flash Ad, is much better because the quality is better and the size is smaller.
    Everyone does support flash.

    I didn't put too many images, or make like a layout for it like 313i did because statistically in my experience, people click on text looking ads and flash ads than your standard layout banner ads (ones that are cluttered with gradients and objects).

    But obviously, background changes, and text editting can be done always.
    Here's a topic about that :O.
