SITE BANNER COMPETITION

Okay, folks as you may have seen in the "Forum News" section, I am going to be completely revamping Lost Island.
And to do this I will be needing a new Site Banner at the top of the page and so I thought I would open it up to you all.

I'd like you all to make some site banners and the winning one will become the new site logo.

Here are some rules though:
.DO make it amazing
.DON'T use any indecent images
.DO make sure the words "LOST ISLAND" are on the banner
.DO make it as incredible as possible

And also:

The sooner we get your entries, the better!

GOOD LUCK FOLKS!!!

i suppose i can make one...im not doing anything...actually...ill make a bunch then you can decide if any of them are any good....ill do a bunch for different charcters & such

I love Adam Lambert!!

Roswell is love.

mk, so i ended up just making a lot of my typical stuff with the text 'lostisland' on them....& appologize i didnt make them the right size so you cant use them...ill make a better one with all the remaining main character (& quite possibly Charlie too bc i cant help myself) tomorrow.

_________________

I love Adam Lambert!!

Roswell is love.

Nice one Tris, love them all.

Could you make one with a mix of lost islands favourit charicters on it? you dont have to use all the charicters I am about to list but mixing a few together would be great.

Lost islands favourite charicters are:

Claire,
Shannon, (But she's dead so not too important if you dont put her on)
Charlie, (Yes I will allow you to put charlie on it, even though he is dead)
Juliet,
Sayid,
Sawyer,

I think thats it.

Lol thats ben's way of saying he didnt like it. I will admit that it isnt the best of your work but that might be because you used the same style as the others and you used all of the charicters i mentioned. try using less charicters and a different style. other than that keep em comming Tris as I am sure your next one will be amazing as usual.

Trust me Cheryl when I say there is no place on earth where you can learn what I do. The closest I would recomend to learning what I do is to learn what Sawbucks does, which is a task in itself.

No I think you are easier to read than me. That doesnt mean you are easy to read you are just easier to read than me, but you are no simplton sawbucks, quiet the opposite.

Awesome banner Tris, its incerdible, love sayid's action mode look and Elizibeth michelle smiling is actually very scarey. Laughing

_________________

I like it too.

I do think Jack and Kate and Locke needs to be in it to make it complete. Even if people don't like them they are a big part of the show.
But yeah I really do like it.

_________________
LIVE SIMPLY. LOVE GENEROUSLY. CARE DEEPLY. SPEAK KINDLY. LEAVE THE REST TO GOD

Yeah I supose your right Cheryl, ok on the basis of what people would like outside this forum I dont think Juliet is on ther list. I would also say shannon but I think it looks good as it is. If you do decide to change it Tris then I think putting Jack in the place of shannon (Sorry ben) and Kate in the place of Elizibeth (Juliet) then it may appeal to more people.

I would say put Locke in but I cant think of where he would go as everyone likes Sayid and as much as I want it to appeal to the people outisd the forum it has to appeal to the people inside it too and everyone here likes Clire and Charlie (Not together but I do like then indevidually)

_________________
"Take what you can and give nothing back!"
"Trust is the hardest thing to gain, yet the easiest thing to loose,"

No way! Shannon stays! People dislike charlie too!
Anyway, I love it Tris, you've excelled yourself once again! Just one problem for me, the size, do you think you could make it just a bit smaller?

Once again, well done Tris!
Very Happy

_________________

I am sure Tris won't be happy with you after saying to get rid of Charlie from the banner Laughing

_________________
"Take what you can and give nothing back!"
"Trust is the hardest thing to gain, yet the easiest thing to loose,"

No I'm not saying she should get rid of charlie. I said that as a reason to keep Shannon!
Very Happy

_________________

So you are using Charlie as an excuse to keep Shannon on the banner?

_________________
"Take what you can and give nothing back!"
"Trust is the hardest thing to gain, yet the easiest thing to loose,"

Yeah!
Keep them both! Everybody's happy!
Very Happy

_________________

Which means that there is only one Charicter on the banner that is worth taking off. Juliet.

_________________
"Take what you can and give nothing back!"
"Trust is the hardest thing to gain, yet the easiest thing to loose,"

Well if we're taking on what people like in here than only a few will be happy with it. Everyone has different taste. personally I like Jack and Kate, where we all know who likes Claire, Shannon, Charlie and so on. so i guess I believe Kate is a big part being there is that triangle going on the whole season with her Jack and Sawyer. (now lets not get too angry with this next sentence anyone but here goes... Shannon and Charlie are dead. there I said it. no offense to anyone ok. I think the banner should have at least the living people in it. remember I love you all. Wink

_________________
LIVE SIMPLY. LOVE GENEROUSLY. CARE DEEPLY. SPEAK KINDLY. LEAVE THE REST TO GOD

mmmkk...so basically, once i get around to making a new banner...possiblly tom/thurs??....bbye Juliet..& add Kate..& Jack...but, sorry Cheryl but they is no way in hell Charlie is going anywhere. & if he stays its only fair to keep Shannon too...hhmmm....ill work it out =]

_________________

I love Adam Lambert!!

Roswell is love.

I agree with you Tris. keep them all and just add the two. I wouldn't really want Charlie to go anywhere. Hell he's been through enough Crying or Very sad

_________________
LIVE SIMPLY. LOVE GENEROUSLY. CARE DEEPLY. SPEAK KINDLY. LEAVE THE REST TO GOD

Can I just add, perhaps you could also add Ben???
He's a very popular character at the mo and I actually agree with Cheryl, Jack and Kate should be there too!
Very Happy

Its just an Anime..........which is pretty epic..........almost on a Lost scale

Yeah, Anime has a huge following now

Same here. I knew it was an anime (Come on, how stupid do you think I am?), but I didn't know which one.

_________________
#5 Member of the 'League of X' elite board.

To be honest I don't quite know which one it is.

I follow Marvel comics (i'm obsesed with Marvel as much as I am with Lost!) more than I do Anime/Manga

_________________

I can tell, hence the username X-men God, or am i including X-men into Marvel when it isnt?

No X-Men is purely marvel!

I think I may have to create a topic in general chat to discuss my Marvel obsession!

Lol yeah, what a good idea, because then you can watch as it gets totally off topic like all unfortunate topics that me and sawbucks arrive on.

_________________

I love Adam Lambert!!

Roswell is love.

Stop looking at it immediately! I don't want you to end up disliking your own work, because it is brilliant! I think the problem is that it may be a little too crowded. I know this sounds stupid since there's only one extra character, but the inclusion of Locke is probably what made all the difference...

Yes, Elizabeth does look particularly hot in that pic. Of course, I think she always looks lovely, but even more so than usual in this case.

And as for Emilie and Evangeline...I have yet to see an unattractive picture of either of them, so that says enough. Laughing
