3 days for banners!

The name poll has closed and the top 3 names were picked. Its time to make a banner so I think 3 days (Aug 7) for banner making should be good (I think/hope). On the 9th we'll have a 3 day poll to pick our new name/ banner

Gothic Sanctuary ... Endless Sanctuary ... The Dark Realm

Banners can't have copywrited images or meterial (without permission from the artist) and can be between 379X117 and 650X250...

Have fun

How come Endless Sanctuary is on there?

its on there because it was tied for third place and it just happened to fall between the numbers one and two wich made for easy copy paste

Shouldnt it be between the other two?
I take it you wanted a competition of 3 names?

nope, top three, I could have just made the name poll a single voting option but I was thinking of picking the top three from the begining so I made it a multiple choice to get the most votes in such a short amount of time...

Whichever one wins could help in determining what would be good for the banner picture.

I had a thought.. I really love blackorchid's work, and it would be perfect for a picture. I sent her a PM on the other forum asking for her permission to use Sophie's Legacy...

I made a preliminary banner, just to see how it would work (I used my name pick..like I said, it's just a test run) --->

(If she comes back and says no, would the Mods please remove this for me?)

I'm just shooting ideas here...we could also see about snagging the cemetery pics Orpheus took and posted on the old forum, as I don't see her getting upset over us using them...

Thoughts?

I'm not sure if we could use Sophie's Legacy even with an ok from blackorchid, it may be considered violation of the TOS...

As for pic's that could work and I think the way to go is with a member created original, we have a lot of really talented Photogs and artists here.

I know you angelofthenight and my self all live in a city that is filled with cemeteries so there are some good pic ideas there

^That is very true! Perhaps one of us should make a day trip out to Mount Hope and take a few shots...

As for permission, I got the A-OK from Ms.Orchid... she said we could use any of her pieces if we wished. (I remember Annabelle Lee had a similar black/red color scheme that would match here!)

Just thoughts! Would anyone mind terribly if I went ahead and tried making a few other banners...?

I live real close to a few cemeteries so I'll check those out and I already have a bunch of pics I could go through

I don't mind if you make other banners.

Fantastic; thank you Endless.

Sorry all, I jumpped the gun just a bit on this announcement... Talking it over with the MOD squad and we'll have a new poll with the final names up for a few days (ending on the seventh) and after that will be a few days, maybe a week to make banners and we'll have THE final poll for the banner... all in all we should have our new name by the nineteenth...


I'll be locking this thread until the REAL announcement...

The poll has closed and it looks like our new name is "The Dark realm"

I'm also changing our forums sig from "Keep it clean (PG13) read the rules and have fun" to "Our name is deliciously cliche" because I thought it was funny when Ginger sighted that as why she likes the name

I think one week for banner making should be good and give everyone a chance, please PM all Banners to either my self or a MOD.

Thank You!

adding it now that you've posted it

American keyboards don't come with those special marks.

*Bump*

If it's the one you were thinking of, it's great and "the man" says it's fine
