Here's the three from this month. Just keep in mind the logo and dog tags. Sorry for the delay.

I figured Fled had this in the palm of his hand but Rick came through with an awesome pic of Cobra. This is going to be a tough one...

Yea, all the photos have their redeeming qualities. This will be difficult. Any of those will look damn good up there.

Very excellent choices!!! made it difficult to decide.

I chose 3 because there seemed to be a bit more action and dynimism in the poses thus creating a bit more dramatic effect.

But again--all 3 were well done!

Looks like #2 will be the winner for this month. I guess polls will be open until tonight but I'll leave that up to MB.

Yea, pretty much seems to be a wash Bee. I guess do up the banner and I'll see if NSA is alive to set it up.

Something about a hooker, some blow and a sore ass was the last message received. :eek: (I might as well add that to the eddiesm thread)

Yeah, we all left MB in charge of the site while the rest of us took a much needed vacation.

So does all this count as OT and go towards my paid time off? I do work in CA so they have rules!

Here is the banner with six decorative samples for the logo. The red hues will be toned down a bit in the final. If you feel these are too destracting I can provide a sample with a more simplified approach.

Even though I'm the artist I always like to know what others have to say first. Besides everything on this site represents all of you not just me.

Also when cropping these banners down if you can add about a half inch to both sides that would be great. In the past I've had to resort to adding in more background to either the right or left of the banner to avoid the characters in the scenes from being covered over by either the logo or the dog tags. The banner depicting a swap-like environment above is a clear example of this. About a half inch was added to the left to spare the soldier just to the right of the logo. I wish I could make the logo smaller but the text would be a bit harder to read upon doing so. Especially on something as small as an iphone. Thanks!

I find the Christmas/Holiday addiditons amusing. If you could photoshop a Santa with sleigh in the upper right corner near the palm tree, that would be hilarious.

I was thinking that too but I didn't want to cover up too much of the banner with decorations. After all, the majority of what is actually seen in banner is really designated for your work not mine. Now, on the other hand, if the artist behind the winning banner is fine with the idea then I'll be more then happy to do it.

oh, I agree. If the artist don't want it there, he don't want it thar. But if he's cool with it, that would be pretty awesome.

Here's an altered version. I doubled up on the reindeer for this one. You can choose which one you like the best. The "Happy Holidays!" can be any color you like or I can leave it off completely as it is in one of the two samples above.

I had Santa dropping bombs in the background earlier but had them removed afterwords in fear of him scaring off the children in the village. lol

I sent them to NSA so we'll see what he likes. I'm sure it will be done before the new year. :D
