Now that Duckz V2 is done Duckz needs a new banner. But since I'm not the best with banners I started a contest!

Your Task:
Your task is to design the banner within these requirements:
1. Size has to be 618 x 174
2. The colors have to go with the websites colors! You may use a slight touch of other colors but rather not to much! (Hint: Take a screenshot of the index page and use those colors!)
3. .Gif is prefered

Note: Create as many entries as you want to!

Prices:
First Price: Deviantart Subscription + Elite Duckz Membership
Second & Third Price: Elite Duckz Membership

Deadline:
Extended: March 11th 2007

Rules:
1. Your creation has to follow the requirements shown above
2. Your creation has to be submitted before the deadline ends.
3. Duckz obtains full rights over the top 3 entries.
4. Top 3 entries might have to hand in the PSD also.
5. The Devianart subscription is a 3 months subscription.
5. Have Fun!

Hope to see you there!

Might give it a shot
oh, and can we use the logo in the banner ?,

ill give it a shot aswell..

Here's my first entry. Feedback appreciated. Thank you.

Nice, one of the better entries But the colors are a bit different from the main site. I doesnt have green...

I thought I'd try this one, heres what i made.  I'm open to any suggestions.

Question: It may seem obvious but is the banner soley used on the Duckz Homepage in the location of the contest Ad? If so, it will help in designing the banner/header in relation to it's surroundings.

Yes, there is where the ad will come

sooo i guess the contest is over now.

No sorry, i extended it for a week! This is due to a argument with Gamerenders.com about an advertise banner.

Congrats nitr0x

I already did! But he hasn't replied that my PM either...

Sorry, I haven't been on P2L for quite some time, been very busy with some other stuff (Got two sites to code and complete, plus I am an artists for 3 art groups)...

I'm quite honoured, thank you. I will have to check to see if I have the PSD still. About the prizes, I don't really need them, give the duckz premium subscription to someone who really deserves it on your forum Also as it says:

First Price: Deviantart Subscription + Elite Duckz Membership

You give the dA Subscription to http://www.ripix.deviantart.com - I am sorted for my dA sub for a year.

*Shuffles through hundreds of files to find the PSD... if he has it*

Awwww... you're so nice, nitr0x!!

heh, well it seems like it's not happening now because I don't have the original PSD... and he wants it.
