These banners will be displayed on both UGN and HostNuke with full credits to the creator, and best of all you get a free (ad free) pop3 email account! (You can also use our mail scripts on site).

If you need any information please feel free to email me at any time or post it here!

If you'd like to check out the contest submitted images please view the contest pages.

If you'd like to enter please post your image after this post or email it to contest[at]undergroundnews[dot]com and we'll throw it on the contest pages.

I made this in paint. I copied a bit from the UGN banner above for the background then pixel painted the borders and barely noticeable 3D effect for the text.

88x31 Button

Thats actually quite nice rage ...

I'd also like to state that we need various differant submissions of each type (all will be shown in the "links" section with credit towards the creator(s).

Please note that a contest isn't a contest without numerous submissions.

This contest ends November 15th. You can still submit work after this date until the 30th, but your images will be farther down on the listing.

Voting on images will happen soon after the deadline. All members will be allowed to vote on which image(s) are the best. First by author(s) then secondly by image.

I'm too lazy to make other buttons. But I will offer the button above in the following border styles (or combonation of)



Also, I made the larger sized button. A completely different style. (can you figure out who the picture in the newspaper is of?)

102x47 Button

HEH interesting button... Well use your immagination lol, thats what this contest is about...

Do a "rendition" of the button in all three styles (as a test of your template skills).

psychogen: I'd like to know what colors or styles that you wish to have your banners and stuff in.

Well look around the site, theres the color scheme, we plan on keeping the scheme pretty much as is.

As for theme, use your immagination, have fun always.

Here's my submission

i love the button SR, i will definatly have to vote on that one.

how the hell do i get my pic into the reply??

Click the "Post Reply" button and choose the img option.. or you can type

Sin, thats, umm... nice :x...

And I know that your response would be "I'd like to see you do better" so I made one... Just as a note, I suck at graphics lol...



My binary even sais UGN Security lol...

There is my submission...

dammit curse!! :\

I will try to make some and get them in. I need a place to host them though, will ugn's board let try to use a txt as an image? I have heard I can rename the image .txt on a lycos server and it will work. It gave me crap about it not being a valid image type on other boards though. I will edit this post with the images when I make them.

I'll throw them in the /contest/ directory, just email them to me and i'll throw them up.

Well i didn't make anything special but nice colors though=)

(img be up in a min)

Huh, man o man

I'm away for a week and contenst starts here.. lol
I liked very much the button that SR made. It was nice, the binary banner UGN Security by Gizmo was also good. I'll work to make some images myself too than i'll post em.

P.S. Are we gonna vote for the best imagine, or Admins will decide about that ?

Everyone will have a chance to vote on diff banners. Basically there will be a poll posted that has 3 diff questions (Best Banner, Best Small Button, Best Large Button) which all will be posted in the /contest/ section on UGN when I finnish it (its a temperary page so it will look like shit).

now where the hell did MY post go eh ?

damnit

ohh damn, here it is now, agrrhhhhh

sorry for this guys.

P.S. Gizmo that sounds good.

silentrage's was good, also liked gizmo's, sinetific's would be good if ugn was a homo hangout... i'm sure i can't do better though, so i shouldn't speak. i'm glad you found your post black^pimp

Nice speach BS heh. Well i also agree, i liked most SRs post. I decided to make something myself too, so here it is, hope you'll like it.

black^Pimp, your picture wasn't 468*60

What about animated buttons Giz? I might make something animated.

And goodness gracious people, don't shit on sin's work. You wanna discourage people from posting their art? At least HIS banner had the right dimensions.
