Whe are in the new banner contest.
What banner you gonna submit, /u/?
>>2094375
This one?
>>2094374
I figure just get a bunch of famous yuri anime/manga couples and maybe one Touhou couple kissing, then ram it into a banner-wide image. Then also stick some girl sitting on the far end watching with binoculars, like so.
Or a Hitomi. Or maybe one on each end. I think it gets the point across.
Not a lot of space we can do with 468 by 60, so I think we gotta be real picky about who gets onto such a banner.
>>2094374
Good thing you reminded me, was waiting for /u/.
>>2094437
Also what would be a good font for "/u/ - Yuri?" I was literally contemplating just cropping and pasting from up at the top of the page. A jarring rectangle of pink and lettering.Do you think /v/ accidentally walking in would be good too? I don't want to add a million jokes, but I want something beyond 'anime girls kissing' and '/u/ - Yuri'
Too lazy to make one but I'd vote either for something fluffy or very lewd likehandholding.
I have no image making skills, can someone be kind enough to do something with Bocchi?
>>2094451
sureafter she gets an anime of course
>>2094451
I was going to make a banner with "I will post this in every general thread" post dated XX/XX/2042 but got lazy halfway. Sorry.
>>2094459
That would have been really funny. Thank you for the thought anyway.
>>2094375
Hey, someone saved my banner.
Too bad it's not the appropriate proportions for this particular contest.
Maybe this?
My idea: Jill and Alma in the VA-11 HALL-A bad end, with the steam achievement "Cozy hell" captioned on it.
I'm out of town so I can't make it myself.
>>2094500
>468x60
Not sure if it'll even fit.
>>2094501
That's why I can't do it, it would take some shopping.
>you need a 4chan pass to vote
Thanks, notmoot.
How about a compilation of the KnM pose meme?
>>2094512
>468x60
>x60
>60
We could also make a banner out of /u/ panels like pic related
Got to be something with Hitomi, right?
>>2094619
Most boards seem to be opting for text banners, with a name of the board and maybe some >greentext.That /w/ one is great.
Size requirements don't mesh well with images of characters and such.
>>2094630
How about the one from the Life is Strange thread where someone announcedthey had killed everyone for the yuri?
>>2094643
That was one of the first posted in this thread.
>>2094451
I remember someone making a Bocchi banner with pic related as well.
>>2094449
>Alternatively, something with "b-but they're both girls".
>"So which one is the husband and which one is the wife?"
>"b-but they're both girls"

Fuck this gay earth.
Anyone got a long horizontal pic of one chick lying on top of another chick?
These banners are so tiny... you can't actually fit anything in them.
Anyone have a "but we're both girls..." screencap?
>>2094796
Additionally, I would also take a "that place is dirty" screencap.
Maybe something like this?
>>2094449
>>2094865
Back to >>>/b/
>>2094865
It's great.
>>2094467
I like this one and feel it should be a screencap.
>>2094946
It has everything to do with yuri.
Really, it's just a banner. Better have something funny and somewhat original than just girls kissing girls.
Can't wait for /b/tards and /pol/tards to fill other boards with their shit.
>>2094950
The banners have to be SFW so I don't think you'll see any too disagreeable ones.
If anyone wants ideas, I think a sideways stack of colorful macaroons with the board title overlaid would be tasteful.
>>2094954
I'm not talking about the banners. I'm talking about people clicking on them.
>>2094972
Oh, right, which is why I said I would be hesitant to want a banner with obvious lesbians on them. Something simple would complement the board and not attract too much attention.
I've still got this banner from a while back. Thinking of submitting it, or I could do something similar but redesigned with the space constraints and "board advertisement" thing in mind. What do you think?
But whatever get submitted, how about it NOT be something that /b/tards used to flood this board with back in the day? No Yuri Gargarin or Red Alert, thanks.
>>2095002
Too cluttered imo, and the board name is not very visible.
I don't know jack shit about animation, how can it be improved?
>>2095030
Make it faster.
>>2095030
If you're feeling fancy, it might be neat to have the "i did it" image, then seamlessly scroll down to "I killed everyone for the yuri", then scrolls down once again for the board name. Just an idea to make it more pleasant to watch.
>>2094442
I stumbled in that way.
Honestly having something about /v/ accidentally walking into the lesbian love board would be fun at least.
Can't go wrong with vibrating images
>>2095060
That's perfect.
>>2095060
I like this one.
>>2095039
>Thought it could be fun.
Doesn't really work, because the viewer isn't necessarily privy to inside jokes. Thus it's hard to discern what's going on.
>>2095040
The board name is too small methinks.
Google sure knows what's up.
>>2095002
It's good, I'd just make /u/ - Yuri much bolder. Either give it a stronger outline, or just make it red or black or something.
>>2095072
Makes sense.
>>2095100
Also the /u/ should be closer to the corner of the image. The composition is too off balance.
>>2095122
Maybe move Chikane and Himeko over to the left. Yeah, they might be cut off by(or cut off) Fate's hair, but it's a crowded shot either way. Then once we've got some space in the center, maybe shift Homura and Madoka and we can get a fourth couple? ShizNat maybe? Or Shizuma and Nagisa? Mai and Reo?
>>2095002
>No Yuri Gargarin or Red Alert.
Y-yeah, that's a dumb idea.
Well, if it wasn't busy before...
By the way, everyone should submit a banner. Making one perfect banner and just hoping for it to win when people from every board vote on it probably isn't a great idea.
>>2095171
We must branch into pepes to appeal to the masses.
>>2095171
>everyone should submit a banner
Sure thing.Hope you're into Soviet cosmonautics, that shit's rad.
I wanted to make a banner out of "I didn't know you could get married in your school uniform" but couldn't really fit the quote on it.
>>2095200
The rules say the banner needs to represent or sum up the board. That dumb joke does not.
>>2095060
A sybian?
>>2095203
A red banner perfectly represents the reaction of certain people to that dumb joke.
There's a number of banners that don't exactly represent the idea of the board. For example, "gib job pls" has nothing to do with 3D graphics. If you mean "represent" and "sum up" as in "show a de-facto image of the board", we'd have to submit a banner with a bisexual girl burning alive or something like that.
>>2095203
I quite like this one.
Here's mine. It's not very flashy, but it has class.
>>2095213
That banner is a 3D model of a board in-joke from the 3D modelling board.
>>2095216
It's also not against the board rules, like the Cosmonaut or Red Alert 2 antagonist would be.
>>2095225
There's nothing about having to follow the board rules in the contest rules. Banners and boards they represent are two completely different entities.
>>2095229
Just give it up, Anon.
>>2095230
Nah.
I'm not sure what got you anons so rustled. If a Yuri banner doesn't fit the contest theme, it will just be declined.
I was starting to work on a banner with this but I realized it looked terrible at such a small size. So I just made a GIF instead.
>>2095320
Cute.
>>2095060
>>2095171
>>2095203
>>2095215
I like these ones, also there has to be a way for pic related to be a banner
>>2095328
>I kiss other girls all the time.
Wasn't there just a whole argument about how the banner should be applicable to the board?
That "I'm a lesbian, so I'm really into this kind of thing" reaction image could work.
Or this, or the one where pic related complains about Yuri Seijin Naoko-san saying how she's "a lesbian from Earth"
>>2095328
Is this okay? You can submit it if you want, I have another one to submit.
I tried to make a funny one, but I'm not really sure about it, what do you think?
>>2095469
I like it, it's just hard to read that whole bubble of Yui's.
>>2095060
amazing
I approve
How wold anyone feel about cutting up these last four panels, making them into a horizontal line and sticking a fifth panel that says /u/ on the end?
>>2095359
>>2095488
What is this from? The usual image searches are giving nothing.
Open to suggestions if anyone has any better ideas on what to do with the text.
>>2094975
Seems subtlety isn't /u/'s strong suit.
>>2095705
>>2095712
Please no, that's something the judges might actually pick.
>>2095712
Oh fuck I'm laughing so hard.
>>2095616
That French Bellybuttons comic.
Bocchi deserves one.
>>2095712
This could work in a /lgbt/ banner.
>>2095792
>implying there's any actual vagina-owning lesbians on /lgbt/
>>2095745
You need to put "/u/ - Yuri", not just "/u/".
>>2094848
Underrated post.
I hope they use the top three or something like that instead of just the one with the most votes.
>>2094975
>>2095803
That's actually pretty good. Maybe write "/u/ - Yuri" so there isn't quite that much empty space on the left.
So far my favorites are >>2095203 and >>2095060
Here is my attempt at one.
>>2095798
Fixed.
>>2095803
Yeah, that's not too bad.
>>2095833
This.
>>2095836I like it.
>>2095835
It's good, but given the board's ban on pictures of men, I'd rather there not be any on our banner either.
>>2095833
Oh. Was mostly a joke, but I'm glad. Here's a second try.
>>2095713
I got the pass and you're fucking right.
>>2095928
Anyone can see the results even without a pass.
>>2095933
But I thought only people with the pass can vote?
>>2095944
Yes, but they already published the results for boards that have gone through voting.
Reminded me of something I did a few years ago
>>2095880
>/ u/
>Y uri
You're getting there. Typeface is alright, though maybe something a little heavier would be better.
>>2095880
I wonder how it would look with the heart between the text and the scissors.
>>2096017
Like this. I prefer it on the left.
>>2095986
Like em thick eh? Here's the bold version of it. I wouldn't go further than that. Also moved the slash and Y a bit closer.
>>2096033
It's simple and cute.
>>2096040
Well I like the heart in the middle.
>>2096042
Mmm I kinda do too. I just think having it to the left gives the banned a better balance.
Okies! This'll have to do. I'm happy with it.
>>2095637
I like it.
>>2095171
I was gonna make something like this but why flood the candidate pool with redundancies. You got my vote, Famicom.
>>2094446
>tfw 2 women holding hands is a legitimate bonermaker for me and both /u/ and /d/ make fun of me for it
>>2096443

Aw shucks, I forgot about the file size limit.
>>2096493
gifsicle -O3 --colors 24 --dither
I got 144 KB.
>>2096504
I did some Photoshop trickery to get it below 150KB.
Submissions are open, by the way.
>>2094374
This is the one I made.
Unfortunately, I had to make it 16 colours. Imo it still looks good, but I want to hear what others think.
It will be great idea to creating a banner like in this pic but with words instead: "404 - No man found."Like a similar tag on dynasty-scans.
>>2096649
I did this one
>>2096656
https://www.myinstants.com/instant/ohohohohohohoho/
>>2096619
love it
>>2096619
Good but the "/u/ - Yuri" part should be darker.
>>2096656
I like it, but I don't think people outside of the loop will get it.
>>2096992
I think the "forbidden love" meme is spread enough to not be that much an insider joke.
Went back and evened out the timing.
>>2098104
>Western shit

>>2098104

>>2098104
Fuck off
>>2098104
Seriously, no.
>>2098104
Pretty good
>>2098104
I have no strong feelings about this.
>>2098104
>genderbent protag
>explicit het sex
>terrible western art
That comic is like the antithesis of things that make good yuri series. I mean I don't mind dudes or even straight side-relationships in my /u/, but I draw a line at actual straight porn.
Plus the fans are the worst about posting images with guys in them on the board.
>>2096656
Nice. But consider making one with no lag between when Hitomi appears and "/u/-Yuri" appears.
>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.
Sounds dangerous
>>2098252
I really wanted to make one but am totally out of ideas on how to make it subtle and not too much of a bait for shitters.
Well, two days still.
>>2099497
browse the thread for inspiration
>>2099502
I've seen a few posts that would make for a good "quote"-type ads, but I don't know, I feel like it would be too obvious.
There any limit on how many images can a person submit?
>>2099509
There's no rule limiting the number of submissions you can make.
I've seen people from other boards submit multiple variations of a banner, with small changes like using a different typeface.
Just use common sense I'd say.
>>2096656
I think it is a best candidate ITT.
>>2095469
It could be slightly slower on every frame and pause maybe another full second on the long bubble. It's a great banner idea.
>>2100956
This post will be removed in 3... 2... 1...
>>2100904
Yeah, fuck me and my tendency to leave everything till the last minute.
>>2101387
Anon don't act surprise. Some people have always been against it since they don't know history.
>>2101387
There's western and then there's western cancer.
People who love western cancer don't see the difference between the two.
>>2098104
OUT OUT OUT
>>2098104
>>2095060
Just voted for this.
YKA is objectively the best looking one followed by Yuri Shall Conquer the Earth. But something else will probably win.
Hell, several of the boards that have nothing to do with yuri had YRYR banners submitted. Is the series really big outside of /u/ or something?
>>2102255
I know /v/ likes to use YuruYuri and Is the Order a Rabbit for shitposting.
There's more entries than I expected. Do we know if only the winner will be going into rotation or if multiple will?
>>2102312
So far I've only seen the top ones for their boards.
>>2102255
/f/ had a lot of YrYr because of Saturday Yuri.
>tfw you realise the mistake in your uploaded banner
Oh well, there are better ones there already so let's vote them
Oh damn, someone did a KS one.
I wanted to do the "Girls holding hands are plenty yuri already", but started way too late.
Maybe there'll be another onein a few hundred years.
>>2096619
>Not KyouAya
Other than that it's cute though.
>>2096033
This is the best one.
>SFW
Dudes can we use fucking Akari in the banner? She's practically our mascot
>Only 4chan Pass users can vote.
I-it's not like I wanted to vote anyway.
Well I feel dumb for just realizing why it's not 300x300
>>2102464
Because squares are bad?
>>2102513
Actually, it's hip to be square.
>>2102674
That's not true. Squares are lava.
>>2102377
Good taste here.
>>2102423
You really don't sounds like you're from around here.
>>2102255
>Is the series really big outside of /u/ or something?
Bruh
Did anyone else notice /m/ has been sneaking their stuff into the contests?
>>2102793
>/wsr/ has a banner for Aquarion Logos
>/vr/ has a banner for Sinistar
>/ic/ and /c/ have a banner for Macross Frontier
>/an/ has a banner for Captain Earth and I wanna say Star Driver
>/u/ has a banner for Cross Ange
>>2102793
More likely there's just an /m/ user who crossboards a lot.
>>2102798
There’s a CA banner?
>>2102813
The "Come 'n' Cross with us" sandwich one
>>2102804
Nano Fate is more /a/ than /m/
>>2102820
I was trying to figure out what that was about.
>>2102823
2 girls kissing each other while a third is sandwiched.
>>2104317
>being this mad
I guess this is my entry then.
BTW can we submit more than 1 banner per person?
>>2105490
Damn i missed the deadline. It's already in voting phase.
>>2098104
Voted for this. The meltdowns and tears it already caused are already worth it.
>>2106258
>Look mom I did it! I made someone in the internet mad!
>>2106258
Kumaria will curse you with an eternal lack of imoutos until the end of your days.
>>2106258
I'll have you know I only cried for twenty minutes, mister.
Damn it, the shaking one didn't win. You people and your shit taste.
>>2107248
The one that won is alright though.
>>2107255
It's good and stylish but I feel like it also had the benefit of being at the top of the ballot.
>>2107263
The banner orders should've been scrambled with each pageview.
The yuru yuri one didn't win, so all's right with the world.
>>2107263
Pretty sure it wasn't. The results are sorted in order of votes.
>>2107284
I'm almost certain I was the last person to submit the banner, so maybe they're sorted by date descending during voting.
>>2107299
I submitted mine almost as soon as the submissions opened, and they were near the end of the list.
>>2107255
It should be in reverse because it's weird that severed hands fly downwards
>>2107263
Being at the top is hardly a benefit.
Also, what the heck is Hiroshimoot doing? Why has he suddenly decided to scramble the banners?
https://www.4chan.org/banner-contest/u
I thought thatmy403 one would've done a bit better.
Oh well.
>>2108010
Honestly, I thought thatmyfloating hands one would do worse.
Going by the banners for /jp/, I have no idea what /jp/ is about.
>>2108095
Last time I was there it seemed like not even /jp/ knows what /jp/ is about. From what I could tell it was mainly /v/: the animu edition. Plus a bunch of dank memes like "Japanese bird cooking pasta"
