About
| Welcome~ |
| Do you enjoy participating in icon contests? Have you ever won, but either didn't get an award banner or had to use a pre-made banner? Would you like your own custom award banner? Then this is the place for you! Note that this is a place for any icontest winnings. It is not restricted to anime/manga. If it seems like the community is dead, fear not. We just delete entries once the requests have been filled to clean things up. XD ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} custom_banners is a community created by and for icontest participants who want banners to showcase their icons, rather than not getting one or having to use a pre-made banner. If the community makes banners but is behind, please contact the mods of that community to find out what's going on before asking here. |
| Requests & Rules | Banner Makers & Affiliates |
| If you've won a place in an icontest and would like a banner, please join and make a request post! This community is only for requesting banners in communities that do NOT have a banner maker. Period. When requesting a banner, create a post and put the following form behind an LJ-Cut. We have included this information in the code below. You can cut and paste the text from this box right into your post to make it easy for you: If you are having problems with the coding within your entry after posting to this community check that your entry is set to the "HTML" tag and not the "Rich Text" tag. More often than not, this is the cause of problems. PLEASE LIMIT YOUR REQUESTS TO 2 BANNERS PER POST (one post at a time per person). Upon completion of those banners you may make another request. Listing your font, textures, and brushes enables the banner makers to match your banner as closely as possible to your icon. Double emphasis: This community is only for requesting banners in communities that do NOT have a banner maker. Period. We will notify you if you request a banner for a community that has a banner maker. All requests for communities that have banner makers should go to cb_overflow. Please do not bitch if it takes a long time for banner makers to get around to making yours. We all have lives, and we are all volunteers in this community. We have no deadline to meet. Once you make your request post, a banner will be made for you and left in a comment by one of the banner makers. For each banner that has been filled, please comment to say you've picked it up and then edit your request post to either cross out or delete the said icon so that it'll be easier for banner makers to refer to. Once all your request(s) have been filled, either delete your post or leave a comment on the post so a mod can delete it. Please note that when banners go unclaimed for 4-5 days after being posted/filled to a request, the post gets deleted whether someone has commented or not. If this doesn't happen, then the community gets clogged with old posts. If you for some reason were unable to pick up a banner and your post was deleted, you can now find them over at missing_banners. These posts will never be deleted and will contain the following: the name of the person who requested the banners, the name of the person who filled them and the banners themselves. You do not have to join this community to pick up old banners from it.For those people who need a banner remade due to poor quality, please check out our sister community redobanners. For all other banner requests, check out custom banner overflow @ cb_overflow (which takes requests of all kinds and anyone can fill requests at). |
If you would like to apply for a banner-making position, please go here and post some examples of your work! One of the mods will get back to you with our decision. Thanks. However, if you are looking for a place to "test" your skills, this is not the community to join. We highly recommend that you practice your skills at banner_contest in order to get positive critiques on your banners. If you are not an official banner maker, you may not fill out a request. You will be banned if you do so! Please refer to this post for more info. When filling a request, comment on the entry first. This way, there won't be several icon makers all making the same banners because nobody thought to leave a notice at the post. This has happened numerous times, and there's no excuse for it now. Extra note: please fill the request that you've claimed within 48 hours rather than let it sit. After that time frame, it's fair game and another maker may take over if they so wish.
