I can't speak for the other designers here but for me at least, it would help if, those who require banners, signatures, avatars, and such like to try and observe the formula below when making a request.
It isn't a rule by any stretch of the imagination but it will help you get your 'goods' a little quicker! :)
Request:
State clearly whether it is a banner, a signature, an avatar, or anything else that you are asking for.
Size:
In pixels: Width x Height. (Example: 320x180)
Preferred Colours:
Try to be specific. To you green may be just green. To a designer, there are more greens than you may care to imagine. Try to fine-tune it to "light-green", "dark-green", or similar.
Wording:
Be very specific about the wording you would like on your design. Personally speaking, if you spell something incorrectly then it is not for me to correct it. I'll just assume that you know what you are asking for and carry on regardless.
Use an Example:
If you've already seen something that you would like your design to be similar to, point it out. (A direct link helps.)
Keep in mind that you won't find many designers willing to just copy any copyrighted materials. But it will at least help us to get the right area.
State Things That You Really Don't Like
I don't want anything flashing, or I don't want bright colours, or I hate black, or any statement like that does help more than you can imagine.
If any of the regular designers wants to comment on the above, or add/delete anything, let me know. Then I'll do a final version and see if I can bully a mod into making it sticky. We can only benefit from it I think.
I'm still rocking iOS 25.x on my primary phone cuz iOS 26 still has usability quirks (mostly aesthetic and thus its UX) which I don't wanna deal with -- and I've been piloting them with all of these updates on my backup phone, so I'm well aware of its "improvements" since iOS 26 was first released (compared to version 26.5.x).
