Nearly 1 year ago, on Friday the Thirteenth of April, in the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Eleven (4/13/2011) our old, official, and much loved Original Forums crashed, for reasons that remain unknown to this day. You can still find the link on the main menu of Skirmish, and on this new forum. Anyways, 3 days after this terrible calamity, on April the 16th, Videogama the Majestic created the New Forums, which at the time were thought to be temporary. Though I don't see the old forums coming back anytime soon. I joined right after Videogama and he made an Admin. Huh. Shell-Core joined, Robert Joe joined, blah blah blah and now 1 year later, we have 222 members (though about 210 of them don't do anything) and 26k posts (1/3 of which are in the roleplay forum alone)!

I haven't lost you with my nostalgia, have I? Well, to celebrate this momentous occasion, the Spawnday of our forum, we (that is, me and the mods) will have a Spawnday Banner Contest! You make a new forum logo (it's that picture at the top of the forum, if you don't know already you can click on it to get to the forum index) and we will vote on which one is the best! Try to make it slightly smaller than our current one, as we've had complaints about its size. It will only be put up for a week or so, so make it Spawnday-themed! You have until April 13, the Day of the Crash, to submit your logo. You can submit as many as you want, but make them different. We will vote from April 13-16, and on the 16th the winner will be put up. This gives you like 2 weeks.

The winner may also get a special color.

If I may comment, I'd say it needs to have ShellCore Command Forums; Happy Spawnday!
and more newborns behind the basic cores on it somewhere.

Key issues:
It is far too wide. Make it as wide as the screen, that is, narrower than the current banner. I do not have the exact dimensions. Ask Decel.
It doesn't have the forum name anywhere on it.

Keep in mind, it need not look like the current banner.

I'd suggest 1000x200 as a good banner size, or slightly less is okay. Things it MUST have: The forum name, in the correct font (and very large), and something related to spawndays. Things it CANNOT have: Anything not related to shellcores. Cores you created yourself, or don't exist in the real game, are discouraged as they may confuse newborns.

.png format is preferred, as .jpeg is blurry. .bmp is too big (file size) and I don't think this forum supports .gif.

Why is the title in blue? Why is it so big? WHY IS IT NON-SPAWNDAY RELATED???

The title is the same size as the one on the current banner, and its blue because Green and red looked bad and blue is the only other color that is in ShellCore Command (besides effect colors like white and light blue)

You know, when I get home I am going to make a banner myself. I will show you how it is done!
