Augustus said I could make one so here it is. I dont know who can use photoshop or a program like it, but if you can lets make some banners. No regulations on size, but I wouldnt make it too tall if it were me ;D

u said "why did you change it?" which means you thought the old one was better.
I got an idea. How about I make it so the banner is either the original's, aug's, or hunter's and it is random each time you load a page, giving the forum a fresh look each click. also it is a joke, he said lol.

I only changed my name because people kept thinking I was crusader. I am also not sure why you asked me to make a banner competition with the way things are going now.
Now I can make your banner smaller Augustus if you want. The only problem would be the length. Since you don't want to distort the picture, you would want to resize both the length and the height with the original ratio. That would make the length dramatically shorter. If you did not use the ratio, the banner would look squished.
Asking why you change the banner is not a slam.
I am new to the clan and don't know much about the history or the people that are in it. There are lots of reasons that would make you change the banner. The person who made the old banner might have done something bad that made the clan hate him and therefore change the banner, how would I know. You have to look at it from my perspective instead of someone who has been in the clan from the beginning.
I also gave you the two reasons that I disliked the current banner when I saw it, which Augustus agreed were problems (size and the Greek symbols). I used to professionally make banners for competitions so I am sorry if I came across as being an ass, but I was only trying to give constructive criticism. I didn't just come here to critisize, I made that tutorial to try to advance the clan's skills with photoshop.
When I first started making sigs I wasn't good at all. I look back at the work I used to make from time to time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think fork's idea is a good one. I used to know of a hosting place that did that but I forget where it is. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now don't get mad at me but there was something I noticed about the new banner. You used part of the old banner in the new one. While I don't personally care, I do know that there are sig makers out there that get really pissed off when people do that. Just a thought.

Dude, are you blind? He said lol after mentioning slamming his banner. That means he is kidding silly. Don't get all serious on us lol. I'll resize aug's banner and we can have all three in a random display.

Well I put the three banners up there random style. Also I fixed aug's banner a bit. I resized it, cropped the bottom a little, and realigned the letters. I also had to touch up the spots where the letters overlapped the banner image at the top so there wasn't an empty spot left when I moved the letters.
One tip aug, when you make stuff like banners or sigs, you should save your product twice. Once as a JPEG or to allow it to be put on the forum, and once as a PSD. A PSD is a file that leaves everything as a photoshop project. You can't use these images on the forum, but it keeps all the layers seperate and makes it very easy to make small edits, like moving the letters without disturbing the background. Editting a PSD file is 100 times easier than editing a finished JPEG product.
My new sig is saved as a PSD for back up editting purposes. If I use my forum version to edit, it would take hours to change the words "The Hero Slayer" to "Hero Slayer" because I would have to redraw the flames in the background again. With my PSD file, it takes less than one minute to change it.
Hope you like the simple touch ups I did to your banner aug.

it does look good touched up.
if you want the best quality picture you should save it as .png
this type of file can also handle transparency is has a higher quality than .jpeg
