Hahaha, he changed it! Im gonna definately try now...If I win this will rock! I need hosting.

[sachleen]

I can do it for the other plans as well. I can also fill in the empty space if you want, just tell me what you want and I can add it. Its kinda hard to do somthing with very little direction, but I tried.. This is the first time I have done work like this for someone so please excuse me if it sucks.

Oh sweet!!! You did change it!! Thanks!

Looks good, border and some flash maybe? Just want to see the other submissions.. lets go guys!

[sachleen]

What do you think of my v2 banner? I can add a border to it. I can't do flash, but I can make it an animated GIF.

Updated with border and XMS logo.

Without the logo background.

[sachleen]

shoot, I have to get flash trial!! downloading right now.. will be done in a few minutes while I learn how to do some animation..

I cant do the animated gif because the quality decreases horribly.

Im going out for a bit, I will continue when I get back.

[Kraftman]

oddcrap : I'll give it a try :D I have Studio 8 so I'll fire up the old Flash machine :D\

hey, can I get a logo image without any strings attached?

Alright, take your time guys no need to rush.

[BigNookie]

I think I will give this a try tonight, could I get a copy of your logo?? just PM it to me. :D

[Kraftman]

What do you think of this as a background, I mean obviously I am nowhere close to even starting to finish, but what do you think of the base?

[nwBen]

Here's my go. Similar to sachleen's trys.

Be nice - I'm crap at PS :blush:

Try speeding it up? IMO it should be shooting in catch the users eye. Some slowly shifting text wont be noticed by many :)

[Kraftman]

Sachleen : Won't load.

When loading http://www.kubix.msbeta.net/sachleen/XMS/XMS.swf in FF I get :

Sachleen : Won't load.

Hmm. Works fine for me. It's been a little while since your post though. Is it still giving you that error?

[Code.Red]

It's not finished since I have to go now, but I was just working on the main background, basically copying the website since I really love how it looks.

[BigNookie]
