Banners needed for Turfstuff.com *Project Over*

[cos]

(Admin code added by Palmer - 480922)

We are in need of banners to display on forums and for such advertising. I am looking for 3 banners to use during the year. The banners should be the normal 468 X 60. I am looking for something animated and maybe just one that is neat and stationary.

Content should say (Not all have to be entered): Landscaper's online cataloug, Green industry parts and supplies, Landscape parts and accesories, The outdoor professional's choice for parts and supplies. Creativity is always welcome, if you have something else better as far as slogans. :)

I will run this contest for 2 weeks and check in from time to time to give opinions.

Thanks and good luck!

I forgot to mention words like:

walk behind parts
landscaper accesories
mower parts
trailer accesories
ZTR parts and accessories
vacuum cleaners
and so much more

Good luck to all of the creative minds here.


Ps. Kidding about the vacuum cleaners. We won't be selling them. :lol:

Here's an entry...I've got another one coming up soon. I didn't use the logos you sent because I thought the message was more important...but if you want the logos, I can do something about that.

Just brain storming here. Can anyone make grass grow and then put text over top of it?

I like how there is sun flowers that poped up in willowhost's banner.

Thank you for the entries julie. They look great!!! :tup:

Yeah, i can do that - i have been watching this closely, just waiting for the duedate to come a little closer... ill get started as soon as i get home.

The grass thing would make the banner size really huge (kb) what is the max file size you want?
here are some, both under 25k

I'm sorry, but I never considered that when I posted. If it looks good, then I guess I would compromise that, or shouldn't I?

The banners that you posted look great. If the banners that you propose that would be more dynamic, then why not go with it?


i guess I am asking your opinion.... :blink:

[Palmer]

Most sites that accept advertisers have a limit to how large the file size can be. If it's too large it slows down the load time of the page. Your best bet is to go to the sites where you want to advertise and ask if they have a limit to the file size.

[hairyiguana]

the limit would depend on what page your trying to advertise on, and there size restrictions.

[cos]

I would be willing to consider a higher load size for other sites that would accept it. That's if it is more appealing than the smaller size banners.

[hairyiguana]

im going to have to say that 25k would have to be on the higherend of the limit spectrum, ill make them bigger and more extravagent if you want, and i will do the whole growing grass thing but thats only if you want me to, im just making a suggestion.
