a little different

font is about the same as the last. i'm trying to make it look more graphic like the logos for battlebeasts and kinnikuman and less 3d like the first try

faded the background a little differently too to show a little more texture from the rubber guy army behind

trying to figure if i can put a little more battle beast representation in. maybe a pirate lion peeking in like kinnikuman is

I do love that banner, Apricot, but it just struck me that the names for each toy line are in Japanese, and therefore unreadable for most people, I'd guess.

hmm true.

i dont know how the MUSCLE logo would work in there. i wonder also if i could find a decent battle beasts logo that would work in that space

OK, here is my final entry. I feel it's my best one:

[b]Well, I lied. I updated my banner 2 more times.
Here I added The Ultimate Muscle, Fire Wood & Water and KN pics as well as the words "Community Forum."

glad you decided to throw your signature into the mix, both are cool, but I gotta go with the first one too.

I like the Japanese logos. Most people don't need to be able to read them. The fans know what they say and thats what counts.

I still think the text needs some work but I am a crabby old man who is never satisfied with anything. Bah humbug!

[Apricot]

i think it still needs work also, but i was already pushing the deadline (as usual haha)

do you have any suggestions for it?

I think it would work better if you could make the text feel more like the japanese logos. I am not even sure what I mean by that but you might try filling the text with a gradient and layering the text to create an offest outline. I actualy think the first text you have worked better and I am not crazy the color. (Typography can be a pain in the buttocks). I think it might be helpful to try some new directions with the text and generate some new ideas, then work those into your original concept.

Sorry, I cant be more help. Its allways easier to offer criticism than to offer solutions. There are no shortcuts around the process.

Don't sweat it though man. I think your banner rules.

Well, I'm not sure if I'll show my works here =P

Hmm, but I'll comment the others =D

[WhiteLeo] All works seems to be great! But I liked more the third one =3~ [/WhiteLeo]

[kevinmayle]U know? I didn't liked so much ur first ones, but the last one (not with flags xP) is a rly kicka**, lol [/kevinmayle]

[matthewf1tz]Ur second one is better for me, with a more simple background (good detail for the toys!), and I can see more clearly the stroke =D, good job![/matthewf1tz]

[Apricot]It was very awesome to see ur work growing xD The last result was great!! Congratz![/Apricot]

if i win the contest, i'll try to change up the text some. i like that suggestion. it's actually where i am headed. i liked the border around the battlebeasts logo and stuff like that. and the gradation in color

[jkaris]

All I can say is WOW! You guys did a kick ass job!
