Banner submitting thread

[fordgtman1992]

Hey Jan
I am representing the community at the SSC Community Google Sketchup project, Port Voyage, and we would greatly appreciate if the SkyscraperCity banner were to be a panorama of our city. I do not know if you have visited the thread for it, so here is a link:
Port Voyage/ La Cala

There are 194 pages at the moment, so it isnt a small deal. The banner is 719px by 129.9px, but I could try to shave off a few pixels of height if needed.

The City is Port Voyage and this is the southern Montoya Beach skyline in the sunset, showing the tallest structure in the city, the Olympic Tower (660m)

The contributors of Port Voyage thank you.

Sincerely,
Kyle

Hey Jan, my banner is of a personal project I've been undertaking over the past year, see thread. Its another 3D city (groan), but I love this render. Its a completely fictional creation made in Cinema4D. This was a render I made back in May when the city was 2/3 built.
