Banner

Now we're official, we get to make our own pretty banner

So, if anyone wants to make one, feel free.

I can't remember the exact guidelines, but GandyRaven helpfully wrote them out. I do believe that all banners must include a Star Wars element, but due to the FanForce status, it should also include some local landmarks (probably Stonehenge, Spinnaker Tower, one of the white horses, or something) as well as the name "FanForce UK South" displayed quite prominently.

So, if anyone would like to make a banner, feel free. When we have enough, we can vote for them, and the winner gets the banner, and (as I think is the case with most banner competition winners) colours for a week or so (though hal or Sie will have to confirm this).

So, banner makers get making

 

Oooh, this could be fun.

 

I'm happy to do one for you guys, though I will need some help with landmarks


You can see the banner I did for the North here

 

Haha, win

All I can think of at the moment

 

And do the South have a motto that can be added?

 

Um, dunno. We need Westcountry Vader

Where's Laura when you need some silly things said in a funny West accent?

 

And here is one Cozmic Southern banner

Hope you guys like, but it's cool if you don't use it

 

Looks great to me!

 

Looks awesome. I'll wait for a while to see if anyone else feels like making one, but if not, your banner it is

 

That's not a problem

 

Most impressive


I was going to suggest that you have a King Arthur element in your banner, seeing as the legend is know throughout the world and Cornwall has Tintagel, which is supposedly where he was born. Also, Glastonbury Tor is said to be the original Avelon, which is where Arthur is meant to be buried.

Could also show Excalibur or the Round Table, just an idea.

A Cronish pasty might be funny to include.

 

Cornwall-ist!

I like the banner!

 

Great looking banner, Cozmic. You're surpassing yourself with every one you draw

 

I like the banner Cozmic. Then again, any banner is better than what WA has, which has been around since 2000!

 

Class banner Cozmic, anyone who can beat that clearly wins a medal!

 

Ok, I'll raise to the challenge then lol!

I have some time this evening, let's see what I can do in a few hours with Photoshop.

Back soon.

 

Haha, yes! A competition! Tim vs. Cozmic. This should be a battle of the ages.

In the meantime, I'll go and see if I can persuade any JC bannermakers to help

 

This is going to be interesting

 

Not done fully yet ... but here's a taster of where I am heading

Will be doing a "thank u for posting" bit in the form of the Bayeaux Tapestry (since it has strong links with the South), but instead of Harold getting shot in the eye it will be a stormie, with ewoks as Normans. May take me a little longer tomorrow, so bear with me.

 

Yay me like! ooh what i'd give to see an ewok surfing in real life If they existed and all, though a small person dressed as an ewok surfing would probably be enough. Hmmm now all we need is a Newquay meet and Tim

 

I love Newquay. I have to get back down there sometime soon.

 

Very nice Tim

 

Right, done!

My entrant for the FF-UK South banner slugout is ...

I'll hacksaw the beggar into the correct sized bits if it wins. Note the log top banner is split in two - separated by the surf boarding eechewowa!

 

I love the Magna Carta bit Tim, really awesome

 

Thanks

Drawing those ewoks and scouts for the Bayeaux Tapestry bit took a while lol
