sounds fair to me

**CONTEST UPDATE**

I am now requesting a 1200x200 pixel header instead of a 850x200 pixel header. For people who have already submitted the 850x200 version, thats great that will be used as well but I regret to inform you that you will need to make a 1200x200 version.

Of course all new entrees do not need to make the 850x200 version.

You will be judged on the 1200x200 pixel header.

I am sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused

The reason for this is, www.graphicartistsunited.com is going through servere rennovation and upgrade so the header dimensions are different.

another newsflash: on the new website I will be able to change the color scheme

Triprift · Jun 23, 2009

Ok im going to jot this down so idont forget easy at my age to forget stuff.

SkyKast · Jun 23, 2009

k sweet, and the new site should be running and up by the end of July or the beginning of August, it will take a lot of time to work out the kinks and stuff since its completely Flash based and I dont know Flash very well.

zithe · Jun 23, 2009

The site has a nice color scheme. I think I have something in mind.

Count me in!

Triprift · Jun 23, 2009

Excellent look forward to seeing your entries.

zAAm · Jun 23, 2009

Sigh, making it 350px wider isn't as easy with a file with 20+ layers... Will see if I'll have time since I'm going to be pretty busy for the next 3 weeks.

i agree, the ratio is different, so it would be a strait "stretch".

but i wasnt pleased with my 2 submissions, perhaps this will let me get better ones in.

zAAm · Jun 23, 2009

Ok, I made some changes to my entry... NEW IMAGE It's now at the new resolution (1200x200). Had to do more than resize it to make it look ok with the narrower aspect ratio. More to bind the primary space on the image. Maybe I'll make another red one... will see...

h3llb3nd4 · Jul 3, 2009

bump as the compatition needs to be more competitors....

Triprift · Jul 3, 2009

Indeed it does cmon ppl check out the great prizes.

h3llb3nd4 · Jul 5, 2009

sky I think you should change this line

I have decided to host a contest for the best logo for the Graphic Artists United™ website and thread. This is a contest that will be judged by various members of the GAU group. This graphic can be anything, as long as it it your own work, it can be hand drawn and scanned in or made in photoshop or whatever. The dimensions need to be 850 x 200 pixels.

We need moar contestants!! bumping this thread...

tastegw · Jul 6, 2009

i have edited my submissions on the submissions page for the new size.

we do need more people to submit though.
we only have like 4 or 5 entries.
