It's on, we're officially scheduled for the banner contest. How many of you are intending to submit a banner? Any good idea?
Pointers based on previous contest and current winners:
>If you submit a banner and don't receive a confirmation page, then is pretty likely your banner wasn't received by the admins. Try again, resize it if necesary.
>.gifs are more likely to win than static images.
>Almost all banners somehow made reference to their board memes.

We need a picture of optimus prime dumping potatoes out of his trailer with a spinning "how you like the poattoe cook that way!?!"
I already know I'm going to win this one. I have the perfect idea and the perfect figure for it.
Think I can win with this?
This is the area you have to work with.
Don't think you can take a picture like >>5815781 And try and make it fit.
You can scale and edit all you want to but trying to get all of that into a space that's allowed will make it look like crap. You'll lose details, it'll be crowded, and won't be right at all. You need to utilize the space available to you to it's maximum.
Remember you're trying to represent /toy/ not your photo taking ability.
Also. if you don't know dick about image editing, or editing software, get somebody who does to do the actual work.
Pretty much sums up every thread.

I like this one. It holds some truth and it pleases both the Nippon/western faggots.
Board banners:
1 Must be inspired by and related to the board that we're accepting submissions for that week.
2 Must contain the full board name (e.g., /a/ - Anime & Manga).
3 Note that these banners will be in a global rotation, so banners should be suitable for the entire site, and worksafe.
4 Image dimensions must be exactly 468x60. JPG, PNG, and GIF accepted. Animated GIFs are allowed. Filesize should be less than 150KB.
5 Only high quality submissions please. No scribbles or other junk!
Folded a million times in paint. This isn't a proper submission but i just though this might be an idea for one if someone wants to make a proper version.
skellies, yeah probably skellies are a good theme

>Image dimensions must be exactly 468x60.

Already getting idiots that can't follow the rules. Christ you people just can't do shit, can you?
INB4 it's only a test.
Yeah mate, sure. Why not start out doing it right to begin with?
>>5816986
That's the sort of board we are retard
Do you have to have a pass to submit banners, or is it just for voting?
>>5815781
I cropped it...hard to tell whats going on tho
We need some Disney love up in this site.
>>5817183
Can I submit gifs?
>>5817184
For real tho. I would like to see a little Disney representation on /toy/.
>>5817193
I can't even remember one time that I've refreshed a page in 8 years where I've seen an image of a Disney character.
>>5817166
Do you not know how to read simple instructions? Apparently so as it's plainly spelled out on the contest page. Fucking moron.
>>5817189
Can you read?
>>5817195
If it needs to be dark, and edgy to get accepted here on 4chan I will submit this image.
I've see a few threads pop up on /toy/ asking "What will happen to your toys when you die, anon"
This picture would sum it up pretty well.
>>5817205
No I just guess the words.
i suggest a banner with the banned post of the runescape gnome saying "aren't you guys too old for toys?"
sadly i don't have the pic at hand
I tried
>>5817307
>2 Must contain the full board name (e.g., /a/ - Anime & Manga).
You failed.
Christ. Another idiot who can't follow simple instructions. Are you this thick in real life?
>>5817390
I made one bru do you like this one?
Once again, /r/ing the "Pepsiman dies of thirst" from the Toy Hunger Games, if anyone has it.
>>5817430
>>5817442
didnt realize i had it set to gif
Someone make a gif of Autismo focusing on each phrase of the original image.
I'm phone.
anyone got an image of the shitty captain falcon amiibo custom?
>>5817459
>>5817512
>>5817522
>>5817398
I think it suits us well ;^)
>>5817430
Woody meme has run it's course.
>>5817594
>>5817622
>>5817640
>>5817622
i like this one
>>5817753
>toy company
>then proceeds to lists toy*lines* after LEGO.
Well, that effort was wasted huh?
>>5817753
Only two of them were actual companies, whereas the others were brands.
You fucking failure.
>>5817166
Anyone can submit a banner, but only those with a pass can vote.
>>5818165
this one?
>>5818788
Yup, now we only need to figure out how to include her
Banner with this when?
>>5817195
this one would be perfect
>The goal here is to give users all across 4chan an idea of what each board is all about by using banner images. Ideally banners would contain the board name and would summarize the topic of the board in a single eye-catching image.
Damn, is there going to only be one per board? Maybe I can do a gif through several topics.
>>5816471
Isn't the area for the banner of a different size
Like pic related?
>>5822788
It's the ad banner under the post a reply box.
>>5822788
Did you even read the rules?
It spells out specifically the size and dimensions of the banner.
Obviously if the one you posted isn't that size then it's not the banner they mean, dipshit.
>>5822777
I think you should. But what topics? Custom toys have a general, but isn't very active. Photo threads are much more active and popular, and don't let me start on lewd threads.
BTW, I really wish someone would include the shamrock (trapbot) into the banner.
I choose to make a political statement until I find something better or animated.
>>5824153
>cancerous /tfg/ meme
wouldn't vote at gunpoint
>>5817622
I'd vote for this
>>5824515
Why would I be mad? You're the fucking blind unobservant moron.
I think it's hilarious that you're this retarded.
>>5824545
keep mad, anon
>>5824670
Keep being a clueless idiot.
>>5824137
I'm thinking customs, gundam/TF/mecha, nostalgia, bootlegs, lewd, toy photography(maybe with "not toy photography' guy), animu girls, complaining, army men, superheroes, dolls, alley and sewers.
But I dunno what I can cram in 150kb.
>>5825519
>But I dunno what I can cram in 150kb.
You can't and still have something that would be decent.
Remember, the idea is for something to catch the eye of non /toy/ people, and make them curious enough to come here.
It's not something we need to cram a bunch of inside jokes into. This isn't for "US". We need to do something that represents /toy/ as a whole, and yet is simple, interesting and will grab somebody's attention. If you cram too much into an image, it's going to be overwhelming, and crowded. Think simplistically.
Heads up.
Tomorrow is the starting date for submissions, so be ready with your banners.
>>5817407
>>5817446
That was a hard day for all of us.
After realizing how shitty this resolution is my original vision for this got skewed so I'm going to change Rohan, but what do you guys think about the concept so far.
>>5830460
I really like it. Those figures/photos yours?
>>5830477
Yes
>>5830460
>>5830803
Semi inspired but that ones too jerky. Gonna replace Rohan with Okuyasu and add 2 more popular figures with themed generals behind them.
how do you folks feel about this?
It's done.
>>5830944
dubs speaks the truth. too busy. way too busy. but cool.
>>5830944
Get rid of cherno Jojo and skeleton.
Space it out just a bit and pump up your font.
>>5830944
I really like this one. Good work anon
>>5817459
>an image to represent the entire board
>picks a hasbroshit meme figure
fits well honestly
Really, no banners with shit customs?
>>5833434
japanese action figures should be "weeb shit"
Anyone have that Chun li staring at Madoka pic?
Might make a good banner.
Someone make use of this
>>5833434
>No lewd figures
