Looking for some graphic artists.
Is there anyone out there that would like to make us a banner add and some advertising buttons.
I have been using the main logo (up top) that I created for the main pages to use as a banner, but some webmasters prefer other sizes or buttons.
I am looking for something a little cooler then our current red clowing stensil look too.
Animated Gifs would be cool, or any other format.
Let us know if you are interested, or just make something and post a link to it.
If enough people are interested maybe I will turn this into a contest of sorts (I have to have some old gaming product laying around I can put up as a prize, maybe Orkworld, or JetSetRadio future for Xbox, who knows).

Anyone getting in on this? I made a quick button but it's nothing special and doesn't really tell anyone what the site is about.

IMPORTANT. Make sure the button you make is 150x55, and not 120x90 like I just made.

What we have so far. Once I get a couple more I will post them in a poll and we can vote on them. Personally I like the chrome look and the fact that it says Gaming and not just WGR. Still waiting for more submissions

Sure seems like it.
You need to photopucket/imageshack the ones you sent me in hotmail. For some dumb reason hotmail converts them to .bmp and I can't link them.

The one with the dice is the best of the lot. The rest are really hard on the eyes/illegible.

Well, I tried, but everything I did looked... well, like it had been recycled through the south end of a dog. Had some ideas, but I can't DO what I THINK. GGGGGGrrrrrrr! Guess I'll leave it to the ones with skills.

Sure, I'll comment... the last one seemed the coolest, catches the eye with the different colour and fort combos, though I might edit it so WGR stays on for a few more frames... I haven't worked on any lately. Have some ideas but they don't seem to be working

Guess I'll leave it to the ones with skills. heh, we're having the same problems, good ideas, poor execution. I'd still like to see what you came up with though. You guys all saw my attempts

Sorry, I already scrapped my (shudder) attempts. The best idea was one with a door to one side, cracked open with light glowing from the room behind it, and "Windsor Gaming Resource the Doorway to the Imagination". I felt that with the huge range of interests in this group, it kind of fit. Maybe one of you could even make it with the door opening up, if you like the idea... I sure couldn't....

I like 'em black fist, the last one expecially, but slowing down the change over is a must

better, but IMO, i don't think the whole thing should be slowed down, just have a 3 second pause for each catch phrase, speaking of which the 'Magic across the sky' vanishes 2 quickly for my liking, the timing displaying 'windsor gaming resource' is perfect though, I'm going to be posting a bunch of my own soon, feel free to critique mine as well eh!

Getting the timing right without adding more frames to jack up the size is the hard part.. It's already probably bigger than it should be so I only added a few miliseconds to each segment that was the "key" frame for each saying.. Ideally it would have WAY more frames all running at a higher frame rate.. but then it would be overly large for web use...

yeah... damn those file sizes.... my first attempt at a flash webpage looked really really good.... but it would take 3hrs to load off a T2 connection... so i had to redo it... it is a b#$Ch squeezing a mental image into clusters of tiny file sized vector graphics and 72dpi jpgs...
