Banners for VOID 5.99

With the advent of "VOID 5.99," banner images have been expanded to 250px tall! That means we need some new banners to fit our new look!

This time around, instead of limiting you to only repeating headers or requiring very specific dimensions, there are three options for how you can have your banner displayed:

1. Create a non-repeating banner of any width that will grow to fit horizontally so that the whole banner area is always filled, regardless of screen size. Top and bottom of the banner will be cut off as needed.


2. Create a non-repeating banner of any width that will shrink to fit vertically so that the entire image is always visible. Extra space left over to the right and left will be filled with a solid color of your choice.


3. Create a repeating banner of any size; it will repeat horizontally if the screen is wide enough.


These banners represent our community both to current members and to newcomers, and are therefore held to a high standard of quality. Staff will review your banner submissions and let you know if any changes are required.

In general, your banner should be an example of your best work and have:
  • Pleasing composition for the space
  • High quality line work
  • If in color, finished and not sloppy
  • No overly offensive themes
  • Text in an acceptable font and readable

While banners don't have to fit a specific width, they generally look best when they're at least 1200px wide. If you have any questions about sizing, feel free to DM me on Discord and I'll be happy to help you get your composition looking as good as possible!

Since the most popular option is option 1, and people are often confused by the exact dimensions that work for that option, I've added a template you can work off of. If you fit your banner to the dimensions of this template (1500x250px) and put all of the important parts of your banner inside the gray box, it should look good on both wider and narrower screens.


Final decision for which banners will be added is down to the Council's discretion.

Created a quick banner for this.



I choose banner option #2 for this one. Background color of choice would be obviously black.

An attempt has been made!

I guess it could be repeating, I don't see why not.

JayKat: Is it just me or does that banner look pixellated? It looks like you drew it with antialiasing turned off. Is that just the effect you were going for?

It's a rough textured pen I've been testing out with lately. But I can smooth it out a bit if you like.

Here, hope this one's less razored.
