You heard me, people.

We've currently got 7 skins for Soulriders, of which Subsilver and Chronicles have a decent array of logo banners. However, the other five? They're kinda bare, if not altogether...well, just take a garner at Artemis Lite, Clanzi2k or BBTech to get an idea of how badly we need logos there.

Board Requirements:[/u]

GIF/JPEG:
Skins: Artemis Lite, Chronicles, Subsilver, Disgea
Status: Artemis Lite currently has no banner, so high priority. Other two are extremely low priority. Disgea has one, though if you want to toss a few more disgea themed banners, feel free to do so.
Default size: 238x66 pixels (Artemis), 400x100 (All others).

PSD:
Skins: BBLite
Default size: Check/Use http://www.soulriders.org/soulriders/BBLite-main.psd for editing purposes.
Status: BBLite currently has a dice logo and a cave story logo. More would be nice, though not quite high priority. If you do try for one though, note that while the file covers more than just the logo box, it's preferable if you stay within it.

SWF (Flash):
Skins: BBLite, Clanzi2k
Default size: 160x108 (Clanzi2k), 330x72 (BBTech)
Status: Both currently have no logo. High Priority.
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

I'm not getting this list at all. What are the skins, and what are the banners? I know that "Chronicles" is a board format, but I doubt that there's one called Disgaea. And the whole gif/jpeg/flash thing confuses me too. Is there another way to clarify this for my poor stupid brain? I'd love to participate, but I'm confused.

The skins -are- the board formats. Disgea is a new format that was just added. You can look at all the skins/board formats by going to profile -> profile settings -> board style. The banners are basically the image near the top which says "Soulriders", most of which are shown in the "Forum Banners" thread and were spread between Subsilver and Chronicles skins.

Edit: Oh and as for the whole gif/jpeg/flash thing, that's the format of the file needed for the banner. For example, Chronicles and Subsilver just use a simple image for their banners. Hence, gif/jpeg. BBLite on the other hand, has a photoshop file for the banner (converted to gif really, but it's easier to work with the pdf), so a pdf was provided to work with. Then BBTech and Clanzi2k have forum banners that are flash animations, so you need to be able to work with flash to make banners for those.

Ragnar, check it out in the profile.  Halbarad has been quite busy in that regard and even did one entirely by himself, named Disgaea.  I'm using it at the moment and it is a pretty spiffy skin.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

Ragnar

And you're looking for banners for them, right? Okay, I'll get on that when I have time...
By the way, are animated banners okay?

Dracos

Uh, technically I guess.  I'd rather stay away from them and try and keep the main site from feeling noisy.

Dracos
Well, Goodbye.

Ragnar

Here's some I whipped up this morning. I'm not sure which skin would be appropriate for them, but feel free to put them where they're needed.
