So, as much as I like our banner, it’s been about 6 months already. With the incoming new season, we should have a new banner to sprice things up around here. Is sprice even a word? O.o
So, we’ll hold a banner contest. You, the artist, can design a new banner for Chihiro! Isn’t that fun? It must conform to the following specifications:
1. The banner should have the dimensions of 800X250
2. The banner should have a picture of Shindo Chihiro on it
3. The banner should have the text “Chihiro Fansubs” somewhere on it
4. The banner should be submitted it .png format
Other than that, it’s up to you what you want to do! I’d prefer like a winter themed one, but I’m not going to be picky.
Best banner wins assuming that there is one that we like!
Oh yeah, deadline to submit is September 30th.
NOTE: If you submit a post with more than 1 link, it will be awaiting moderation. Don’t worry, I’ll approve it as soon as I see it.

fizz’s banner FTW
September 25th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Hey guys! Would like to try out
So here’s my #1 entry for the banner 
Sorry but I couldn’t make up my mind on some stuff so I’ll post the different versions up
(*ahem* sorry but I didn’t see the part about winter so…yeah T.T)
My theme for this banner is… CHIBI!
Will try to edit this as I go along.
Anyway here’s the first banner with the first font type in 3 versions
Version 1 - http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/verticalnfinity/ChibiChihiro_banner_v1.png
Version 2 - http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/verticalnfinity/ChibiChihiro_banner_v2.png
Version 3 - http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/verticalnfinity/ChibiChihiro_banner_v3.png
Version Heartless (cause I took out the heart, duh!) - http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/verticalnfinity/ChibiChihiro_banner_heartless.png
Here’s the 2nd “Fansub” with a 2nd font type in 3 versions too!
Version 1 - http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/verticalnfinity/ChibiChihiro_banner_alt_v1.png
Version 2 - http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/verticalnfinity/ChibiChihiro_banner_alt_v2.png
Version 3 - http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b335/verticalnfinity/ChibiChihiro_banner_alt_v3.png
So there you go, my #1 entry. Thinking of doing an another one with different theme
Even if I don’t get chosen, hoped you guys liked it!
September 25th, 2008 at 6:28 pm

Question: Is an ecchi banner okay? (bed, underwear) o.O
September 25th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Yeah, ecchi is fine. So long as it conforms to the rules outlined above, it’s a valid entry.
September 25th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
after browsing some chihiro pics, here’s a quickie (so simple), yea its from a wallpaper..

Too many of you rely on brushes and fonts.
But for the ones that know how to use them, they are amazing. Some of the best stuff I’ve seen in a while.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:03 am
Roflz, someone swagger jacked me =P, I aint pointing no elbows but lucky I didnt put much effort into mines, I wud have been upset =)
September 27th, 2008 at 3:23 am
I’m really no good at this art stuff, so here’s my crappy attempt.
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/jigswithoutwoodstock/Files/Temp/Chihiro.png
I also included one with the channel information:

September 27th, 2008 at 7:34 am
i just made it especially for Chihiro fansubs as a token of gratitude for subbing To loveRu,Sekirei & World Destruction. ^^
So its not a matter of winning anyways.

September 27th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
I changed the colors because the other ones looked kind of … insipid.
I also made the text a bit bigger for the channel information in v4.

Toastah FTW!!!!!!!! especially V-2!!!
But if you did the “Chihiro” same font and the “Funsubs” or vise versa, it would be much nicer.
September 27th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Okey, i’m back with some new… I I saw that I forgot the S in Fansub(s) So I have fixed that to in the orginal, but I also have some other version
