AARHUS | What Banner to Send in?

Asbjoern · May 4th, 2012, 10:26 PM

Aarhus has not yet had a daily banner here at SSC, so I want to hear your opinion on sending one in? I have made four suggestions below to consider in the poll, but please if you have a better one (Especially a skyline pic with the rainbow) then please post them here and we can agree to use it or start a new poll.

Rules for submitting a banner can be read here: http://xl.skyscrapercity.com/?page=banner&do=submit

Let us get Aarhus out to the many viewers on SSC!

Number 1

Credit go to Leifmaler

Number 2

Number 3

Number 4

Picture one! I think that that's the one that gives the best idea of what Aarhus is, i like the construction and harbour in one scene. Picture 4 just seems too unoriginal, such a picture exist of every large city in the world, and only the biggest offers something unique. Number two is nice too, but i'll stick with picture 1

TH_DK · May 4th, 2012, 11:44 PM

I go for picture 1 as well.

Harbour, construction and beautiful view over the sea, this is what Aarhus is about

Asbjoern · May 4th, 2012, 11:57 PM

Just had a last few banners to add. If anybody want to vote on these then write a reply because it is not possible to add them to the poll at this stage.

Number 5

Number 6

Number 7

Yeah, I know. It was the photo that banner number 4 is a part of that inspired me for this thread though. I could not get the image to fit the required dimensions but to my defense the larger photo is very original for Aarhus.

Would it be possible to make a version of number 6 without the cutting the church towers? If yes, then that would be my pick!

Unfortunately not. Here is the original photo so if anyone can refit the dimensions fel free to do so.

[For a larger photo change the s719 in the URL to s1600 - the photo's maximum]

This thread is a very good idea, Asbjørn

I've been thinking of making an Aarhus banner for some time, but maybe I'll give it a shot now and post them here. I have not voted yet in this poll...they are all so good looking, which makes it difficult to choose only one

Xed · May 5th, 2012, 02:00 PM

Did you shoot the pics yourself, and have all the originals, Asbjørn? I voted no. 1, but I would like to see it full size. I like it, but I must admit that it does in my opinion have to much "nothing" (just water and sky) in the left side. I also like no. 6 very much, but I agree with Galro, that it isn't good with church towers cut in half.

In general I think this thread will be much more interesting in just a few years, with all the construction going on in Aarhus, by the way!

aarhusforever · May 5th, 2012, 02:04 PM

Oh man, so many banners, so... well, you get my point

Today SSC banners shows all kinds of angles from a city and not just the skyline, which makes it very difficult to choose the right on, IMO.

I have divided my banners into 3 categories: 'Skyline', 'People' and lastly 'Others'

Personally I like No. 6 from above.

Here goes:

Here is Leif's original but all other photos I have shot myself:

Xed · May 5th, 2012, 03:49 PM

Cool, thanks. It is a great photo, but I am not sure, it makes a good banner. I was hoping it could be cut differently.

Also some nice banners there, Aarhusforever. I am hoping to see more suggestions from all of you. Very entertaining thread, IMO

Blingchampion · May 5th, 2012, 04:48 PM

I vote for nr 11 or nr 13

Babser · May 5th, 2012, 09:23 PM

Sorry to interfere here but I think a banner from Aarhus really should be centred on the Rainbow Panorama. If you got it flaunt it:

Xed · May 5th, 2012, 10:09 PM

Beautiful shots. I especially like the first one. But they all seem difficult to get to fit to the banner format.

Asbjoern · May 5th, 2012, 10:34 PM

Thanks for your many banner suggestins, aarhusforever! I like number 17 but think it would make for a poor banner on SSC. Number 19 is great too.

@Babser, I totally agree. I've been trying to find one of the rainbow that can be cut to 719x123 pixels but I have had no luck. If you manage to cut a photo to the banner requirements then please post it/them here.

Babser · May 6th, 2012, 11:22 AM

Thanks

No 21 and 23 are very nice! I like the town hall tower so I probably prefer no 21.

I think no 2 and 22 are a too close to really show the sculpture. If you know it already, you will understand it, but if you have never seen it before it you won't understand.

Just to throw them in here:
