I've got some more! I chipped away at these over the last few days after work. Not animated this time, 'cause fuck that; just good old static PNGs.

First time entrant. Heire wee go!

Another attempt at a Nintendo banner, this will probably be my last one for now:

More Lockdown please. It's like a terrible drinking game without the drinking. Those who don't have it burned into their brain can't understand.

Here's my offering into the exciting melting pot of creativity!

@pickassoreborn: That's pretty unique. I can't tip my hand on which ones are my favorites, but I just wanted to say way to think outside the box.

can someone turn this into the amd pc one, tia

someone should use this gif of Jeff in the nintendo Booth, I might do something with it. But thought I'd share it here.

Love this!

Since they're bringing back the championship, someone needs to make a nintendo banner themed after The Wizard

Here are my submissions. Wish I had more time this week to make more/crazier ones. I've been super impressed with the other submissions! Can't wait to see the winners!

This is the best thing in this whole dang world

Had some fun playing with this effect

Really, really love the look of that. Nicely hypnotic transition. Good luck to you!

Cheers for the kind words, folks! Competition for this is fierce, but glad to be part of this creative powerhouse :)

Ha! I literally didn't realise I was "pulling a Lucas" until you pointed it out :)

Thanks duder.

Quick date change! (Cheers to @marino for the heads up :) )

My crappy attempt:

I'd vote for that one.

"THE FEEEEEELS!"

Here's a simple one for Sony.

I'm gonna be shutting down entries somewhere around 6 PM EDT Saturday night.

That's about 21 hours from now.

An epiphany on the way to work today.

I call it, "Staying Up Late Learning Paint.net"

Sticking my Game Genie on my printer's scanner is one of the sillier things that I've done today.

@b0nd07: The old-school Star Fox one is pretty cool.

@dirtysammiches: That first one is probably my favorite for Ubisoft.

@benfoldsone: That zoom banner is preeeeeetty good.

@niflhe:Slick Nintendo banner. Well done.

@vincentvendetta: Stellar work on that Square banner.

Really well done overall, folks. These are always fun.

Fuck this i can't pick just one. EVERYONE WINZ!!!!

Quick update to my original banners to add luchadeer. Honestly I prefer how they look without luchadeer but they are way less giant-bomby so this is my final submission I suppose. It's a shame I didn't have more time to do another set but oh well.

There's some really phenomenal stuff this year. Well done to everyone that's entered.

Had a multi-gif banner set up, but that fell through so this is probably it. Deadline is tonight right ?

Never had an account here, made one to post my masterwork.

@gaepora: what did you use to make it ?

@mcnorhymes: I used a combination of programs.

I drew the parts using Paint Tool SAI (& paint.net), then strangely I used Game Maker to put them together. LICEcap to capture it, & GIMP to edit it. :)

Noticed the logos for Square and Bethesda were wider than Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, so I fixed them.

Gonna shut this down in about an hour.

LAST CALL!

@pickassoreborn: That is excellent.

Great stuff, everyone! You made it another hard year to pick some winners.

Aaaaaaaand....we're done here.

Thanks everybody for contributing to this year's contest. We have over 200 banners, which is way more than we've ever had.

Look for the Bethesda conference thread (and winner reveal) tomorrow afternoon.
