banner ad or header?

banner ads are usually 468 x 60, not headers

I like the idea with the WiiDB part, but I think the B should site on top of the D. The background isn't exactly what I'm looking for though. I am looking for a more sleek feel to it. Not sure if that makes any sense lol.

I like number 5 & 2, but the font should look more like the actual font used on Nintendo's site.

I like the simplicity of this, its very straight to the point, not distracting. Could you try making the text a tiny bit larger?

I'm not usually one for animated banners, but for some reason this one draws me in, lol. i think its the way the colors contrast, and the simple background. The font used on the animated part for Wii Contests is nice for a secondary font on the banner. 8)

I hope my comments help give you all a better idea of what I'm looking for. I will be back later today to check out any updates. 8)

I really really do like that WiiDB text that davisjaron used. And I really liked the colors and simple background that zenius used. 8)

Here is my entry I went for something more unique, but still attractive.

Thanks

ps. Please tell me if you want to see it without the watermark or if you want me to change anything

 

[ZeniusIVanisher]

mission accomplished! :D

I wasn't sure if you wanted revisions on my submission or not, so I just went ahead and changed the rest of the fonts to the Wii font.

 

[Pietjepuk]

I just made something, using text of the banner you are using now:

I await your comment

 

[wiidb]

Ok, we are getting close now. I am gonna site and watch for 2 days to see what other entries we get, but I have it narrowed down. I can't really make any suggestions to the ones that aren't what I'm looking for as they are too far off, and since a few are pretty dead on, I'll leave it at that.

I might have to give more than one award as there is more than one that I'm drooling over. 8)
