I'm making this thread to ask the lot of our talented art community here if anyone would be interested in creating an alliance banner for the game of Ikariam.
We have our homepage up and mostly running, but I'm dying to add some flare to it in the form of a nice banner with the letters DFAC on it. If anyone is interested, feel free to create something and post it in this thread. When/if we get a nice number of banners to choose from, I'll discuss it with the other Ikariam players which one to pick. Feel free to add any kind of Diablo-esque stuff to the banner since that's basically what our alliance is about. Thanks for taking a moment to read and I hope this might sound fun for some of you.
Ooh, as far as dimensions, I suppose it would be about the size of a maximum sized forum signature only a bit larger in width and length. I'll try to get some more exact specifications later. But hopefully resizing the chosen one won't become an issue.
Maybe no one wants to participate cause' there is no reward? I mean the best reward is still out here: The pride and knowledge and bragging rights to say that you did the best job and kicked everyone else's ass.

Yes, you're right, I do need to be more specific. And Killer is also right, I really can't offer anyone much reward for doing it. I was really just hoping that someone might think of it as a fun project to do. But it doesn't have to be super labored on or anything. It could even just end up being black background with cool looking letters and I'd be very happy with that. And Naj, Ikariam is a browser strategy game that me and about six other people are currently playing. If you want to learn more about it, simply go to Ikariam.com
Well besides having huge letters stretch across it saying DFAC, it could also have images of Diablo, Tyrael, or any other Diablo related image in the background, woven into, or however you may wish to incorporate those images. I guess you could just think of it as like a common forum signature, except the name is simply DFAC. You could even have Diablo on one side, Tyrael on the other, and a Diablo class somewhere in the middle. I hope this makes much more sense.
I first typed this up the other night when the forums were barely functioning so I was afraid if I hurry and didn't get the post up I'd miss my window of opportunity before the forum went completely down again.
I was going to try it last night, but then I got side tracked MFing. So anyway, here are two attempts:
It's a sky texture (with some curve fixes) under an image of medieval soldiers going to war. The second one has fire, which I don't think is the best, but was the best I could do (clouds, dents, blurs, overlays, curves, etc.). I wanted fire, but I couldn't get it quite right. And then between the DFAC and subtitle is an attempted splash of blood, that kinda turned out how I hoped. So anyway, there's my whirl.
Ah, this looks great so far. Again I must apologize for not being too specific on the banner.
First off, I love the font itself. It should probably be a bit bigger and bolder, but great font.
And I'm wondering where you got the image of the soldiers from. Thanks very much for your efforts so far Magistrate. I look forward to seeing your next draft.
Keep in mind though Mag that we are also trying to reference Diablo games. So in the end you may wish to substitute the random soldiers with images of Diablo. Perhaps even those horde pictures from Diablo 3? I don't know. The banner is going to represent all of us. So you all should have some say in it.
I think I'll also close this thread for now because it doesn't appear we're getting too many takers on the project. But should any of you decide to change your mind, feel free to let us know in this thread. http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11660

Edit:
Apparently, it's a picture from a video game. I thought it was real, lol. Well, from a movie or something real.
