Hey guys, I was thinkin of designing one for a while and pearl of the gulf suggested somthin that popped up in my mind before (thanks for reminding me) about designing a bahraini banner for the forums. We want to put this on the 16th of December.

The guidelines are basically limiting the size of the banner to 709 * 79 pixels.

So guys let's start designing. I need to talk to Jan about it cause there are like 3 months waiting list.

Enjoy :).

Sorry...Im too busy to design one but how about decreasing the size of the following pictures (from the picture thread):

Ya I'm very busy too. I don't want you to do the whole paintshop thing, just put a pic here and resize it to 709 * 79 pixels.

What an excellent idea.

I think either the BFH or BIC would be the best thing to have in the banner for Bahrain.

Leaning towards the BFH.

Hows this:

pretty cool to me...but mayb u should add 16th december on one of the corners...?

A few quick ones I made, I like the last the most (I'll make the writing smaller on it):

ya good job..most definetly the last...

BS, what is the deadline?

I can make some over the weekend.

Ok as long as it's in a week before 16th December, there is no deadline but I have to make a special request for this.

Go for it, we'll wait till after the weekend. Nothin will be submitted.

B.S. I like the dhow in the sunset, but that doesn’t really standout to be Bahraini, the whole gulf has those boats. I found another photo of a sunset with the Khalifa bridge in the background. It would be cool if someone can take that dhow or any other and place it in that photo. I would if I wasn’t rubbish at this sort of stuff. :)

My good luck, I found another photo already with a dhow.

here is another BFH, but isn’t it weird having a render for the banner?
i cut a lot out just so the buildings don't look so fat.

Nice! :)

nice banner elmahri...but maybe u can add some text saying bahrain national day or include the date (16th december).

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid195/p9748179f4dbcc5f67f59ae81a63ecdf0/f13b4f33.jpg
what about this?

^^Thats great:) just make sure your text doesnt get in the way of the skyscraper city sign...Like the banner today for example on Bakio Spain.

I'm not good with computers, not really creative...Don't have photoshop...But i was messin' around.... :)

It would still need a "Bahrain National Day, December 16th" on the far right, above the dhow...

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid195/p929e6aae255f90e5b544fea972f906e6/f13aa304.jpg

It's very simple...

Is it any good??

How bout decreasing the size of this and including it in a banner:

Definately the first one vc, it's great. The only things needed are National day of Bahrain, 16th Dec bit and resizing it to 709 * 79 pixels.

I'll try and work one out and see what happens. Keep up the good work guys :).

to be honest i love the banner...but mayb but BFH in the middle instead of the bridge? wat do u think?

This is the one I meant:

http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/141/bahrainbannerone7ux.png

I believe this is the best one we have so far (just needs some writing). What do you think guys?

Bahraini Spirit, do you want me to add "Bahrain National Day" and "Dec 16th" (like the banner below):

http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/5852/bahrainbanner29da.png

^^ i agree that's the best so far; here it is the right size.

p s whats the image in the first pic (far left)

Which one is better?

http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/1056/bahrainbanneroneremix3ws.png

or

http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/7082/bahrainbanneroneremix29vy.png

i like the blue, but remember that you cant right on the left side cause the SSC logo goes there. and try making the stripe thinner and the writing a bit smaller so we can see more of the pictures. one more thing your still getting the size wrong. overall good job man. :)

Blue is lighter on the eye. You need to push Bahrain National Day to the center and that'll be fine cause if you look at the banner on top of ssc., you'll notice that the logo is on the bottom left.

Besides that, it looks great.

great banners guys, i particularly like this one...

http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/7082/bahrainbanneroneremix29vy.png

but I think we also wanna show off BFH!! :cheers:

Well BFH isn't ready, We'll show off the Dual Towers next yr inshalla...For now, i like the one everybody already decided on...And i like the blue colour more....Lets just move the "Bahrain National Day" to the right, and put it next to the "Dec. 16th"...But i'd like to see a tiny Bahrain flag there somewhere...So between the "Bahrain National Day" and "Dec 16th" stick a small Bahrain flag like a dash...Can u do that VC??

And perhaps make the blue strip a tiny bit narrower if possible...

^^
this is beatiful!!

Is it better with the date

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/659/bahrainbanneroneremix3withdate.png

or without it?

How about these two:

This one is perfect:

I'll show this one to Jan. Before I do that, can you please resize it to 709 * 79 pixels.

Great work vc15nets :).

Thanks BS.

I'm having trouble resizing it. Maybe you could ask Pearl of the Gulf to do it because I think he knows how to resize a banner.

Sorted.

I'll show this to Jan and see if we can put it on :).

i made the stripe a bit thinner.

http://static.flickr.com/34/69470397_6957d681e6_o.jpg

Thanks BS :)

Great :) Pearl's one is a bit less blurry than B-Spirit's one..

i like all of banners;)

Cool, I'll tell you guys if we're goin to be allowed to have it up on the 16th, hopefully soon.

How old will Bahrain be?

Independence was in 1971, so 34 years. Not that old :D.

i made the stripe a bit thinner.

It's perfect

^^ i also like this one. beautiful

^^ Good banner, but my comment is on the font used, maybe something more classic would look in harmony with the pics which include old bahrain ??
