Hi guys, created a thread for your banner design submissions - criteria will be provided soon, willing to give-away x1 Assetto Corsa for the best submission, determined by votes.

Specification Requirements

  • 1920 x 1080 Banner is required.
  • Use of the F1 logo
  • Clear (where legible) under compression
  • Preferably themed towards anything F1-relevant (i.e. chrismas or end of season, wdc etc)
  • The top 25% of the server banner should be left clear of text or detail, edges of the banner should be free from intricate detail such as text.
  • Work is your own, if you are using resources please ensure you have valid permission from them.

Send your Q's or submission progress here :)

extra kudos for animated-gifs
Deadline on the 24th December

Let me begin by suggesting the "Merry Christmas" wish that F1 tweeted last year 😉

What's the deadline?

fathom jackal
#

whatsup ant

#

(you wanted to check if we could send here)

north spruce
#

23rd Dec?

rugged cloud
#

ah, so it's supposed to be Christmas themed? Because as someone who wasn't here for a few days I can only see the information in this thread 😅

north spruce
#

WDC or christmas theme i guess

fathom jackal
#

so this is a banner for the server?

rugged cloud
#

btw, another server I'm in had the requirements to keep the top corners free from stuff, because that's where the server name is and the arrow to get to the setting
and for mobile users they also suggested to keep the bottom left corner empty, but I forgot why and I don't use mobile anymore so I can't check

north spruce
#

I'll add that.

wispy yarrow
#

Damnit, now I look like an idiot maxLaugh

zinc talon
#

Bottom corner on mobile doesn’t need to be empty afaik. It looks fine for me

#

Anyone know the name of the font used for the current banner?

fathom jackal
#

It's the formula one font

#

I have the font pack on my computer if you want

north spruce
#

looks like as a rule of thumb keep things away from the edges

#

mine is relatively fine

distant edge
#

So I had the idea to have an RB16B and a christmas tree somewhere together in the banner

#

Gonna make a rough mockup of that in Blender

distant edge
#

So this is veeeery roughly what I'd be going for

#

(no i definitely did not burn 10€ on a christmas tree model, pffft)

`yOU ReNDered A Banner?

warm socket
#

I was thinking something like this. Kinda inspired by the current banner

#

That's kinda cute ngl

serene shoal
#

I dig it

#

Can we get an embroidered version of the F1 logo

zinc talon
#

I propose we use the final photo of @robust dew ‘s dolls as the banner, if they agree! The effort that went into them, and the love of F1 that inspired them are all about what this discord should celebrate.

north spruce
#

wait how does it relate to WDC / Season Finale / Christmas

robust dew
#

Thank you so much for the nomination, I appreciate it more than you know.

zinc talon
#

Oh maybe not meow_eyes

north spruce
#

I mean if we have the RB version

#

No doubt amazing talent btw

zinc talon
#

I guess it’s kinda christmassy? Stockings etc

north spruce
#

Yeah I can see it now

warm socket
#

Alright, I'm pretty proud of the banner slogan but need feedback on the rest lol

#

I honestly love that

#

You could use the line that Chase Elliot used. "Merry Christmas and a Happy Off-Season".

Yes I realize he's NASCAR but it was a funny line

serene shoal
#

I think I preferred it without any text

I like it though, both versions

#

and where's that server banner i did in mspaint last year

north spruce
#

istg if ms paint banner gets voted

meager flame
#

I have something involving Alonso and a deck chair

#

But you shouldn't expect anything good

meager flame
#

I mean... eh. I tried. I fell into the trap of "oh maybe I should add this and this and this" and now it probably resembles a postage card more than a server banner

Can I borrow this and photoshop christmas hats on all of them? (you can keep assetto if it wins)

robust dew
fathom jackal
#

epic

robust dew
#

I can PM you a larger file, I think

fathom jackal
#

I can also crop them out from that background and put them out on track

#

that would be phenomenal arialene

robust dew
#

I think I have one

#

Okay so I've had a different, probably easier idea that I wanna try once I'm home

warm socket
#

Is there a place where we post the banners for submission?

#

Or just posting here counts as being a submission

north spruce
#

There will be a request to use WeTransfer to send your submissions by the 24th

#

then the voting process occurs in the same day

#

the banner is picked ASAP

warm socket
#

Gotcha, thanks

distant edge
#

Does "by the 24th" mean "up until 24/12, 23:59 {some timezone}"? 😅

#

cause I don't think I'm gonna quite get done until the beginning of the 24th

Just to clarify, is there some sort of upload size limit for server banners..?

#

Or can I send however big a png I like with my nitro powers

north spruce
#

It will be compressed automatically

meager flame
#

Can I just say that what I've already sent here is my submission? I have no ideas on how to improve it anyway

warm socket

#

Hm

serene shoal
#

If I want to make one that's animated, it's going to look a bit shit as a .gif at 1080p - can they be smaller for that case?

reef cargo
#

C'mon man it's almost 2022

#

8k, minimum

#

(On a serious note, even 480p would look cool probably)

serene shoal
#

also does anyone have access to the F1 Torque font

#

this one namely:

peak heath
#

Hope this helps

#

Was the first link that came up when i searched for it

serene shoal
#

yeah I did try googling it first. this page doesn't actually offer any downloads that have the correct font

#

hence why I asked here

peak heath
#

Damn

north spruce
#

Torque font is hard to get a hold of

serene shoal
#

i swear i've seen it provided somewhere once before but can't get a hold of it

distant edge
#

I've honestly considered just tracing the font

robust dew
#

Found a neat track pic if anyone wants to use it

#

@here Please submit your work via DMs!

meager flame
#

ehhh... I think I'm actually gonna sit this one out and not submit my thing

wispy yarrow
#

Send it in anonymously, my dms are open maxLaugh

rugged cloud
#

I was too busy T_T
Maybe next time with more time to prepare and plan

north spruce
#

I have zero submissions

distant edge
#

I'm gonna throw something together, give me a few 😅

wispy yarrow
north spruce
#

we'll see what we can get lol

distant edge
#

I'll have something basic ready in around 30 minutes maybe

rugged cloud
distant edge
#

quick, someone suggest christmas-y colours

#

I'd just need something good to put in the background and/or overlay

meager flame
rugged cloud
#

red green white

distant edge
#

I'll try those two and see what works best 👍

warm socket
distant edge
#

okay so uhmmm

#

Slight issue, new Blender version changed A LOT from the last one I used

#

there's definitely a case of technical issues going on

wispy yarrow
#

If only you had a week time to make the banner alainthink

distant edge
#

I'm a little lazy okay

#

I've found a work around though

rugged cloud
#

A week during the busiest time of the month ;p

distant edge
#

okay, so, my cobbled together idea would be this

unknown.png
#

or that with the alpha inverted, whatever would look better I guess

#

if that looks good enough I'm gonna try and figure out how to export it out of paint.net

#

okay so there's at the very least two submission in now 😅

warm socket
distant edge
#

oh yeah that is indeed a beauty maxLaugh

#

I've also learned some basic paint.net skills now, so thats good

#

Well, I didn't submit it so it's still 2

distant edge
#

These are the two final things I submitted, btw

f1_christmas_v2.png f1_christmas_v1.png
#

I've also just noticed the white isn't quite white, it's more of a gray... not sure if I like that or not lol

wispy yarrow
#

I quite like the top one

distant edge
#

Ayyy that's good to hear 😅

#

I tried to sorta match the green/red on the background that I had laying around in my renders folder

#

didn't have any white but I think dark = better anyways

meager flame
#

Top one is quite a lot better ye

#

I like it a lot

wispy yarrow
#

Now dm it to ant so it's a submission 😉

distant edge
#

Already done😅

warm socket
distant edge
#

Thank you😅

#

Hmm I prefer the first one

north spruce
#

Late submissions can be added.

#

This thread will be archived tomorrow

#

Thank you everyone for your submission

#

You've really put the effort to make the server just a tad more interesting, and that means a lot to us

#

I'll be looking to run these sort of engagement projects throughout next year as they do seem quite fun
