really don't mind it too much, but the real reason I love the etf2l banner is because of the original art, and the reason I like vanillatf2's background is because they have ingame footage of maps. I reallyreallyreally don't like pictures made by valve/from valve movies. Because you see them everywhere and it feels so copypasted :(]]></description>

Those are great! Thank you very much :)

		<blockquote>And never save interface elements in .jpg.</blockquote>
I take it you mean the login stuff? That's just in there to show what it would look like during the selection process, I would remove those from the final version. Or do you mean don't use .jpg?

		<blockquote>Good luck, best logo by far.</blockquote>
Thanks :D]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[- Really not a huge fan of the TF2 font. Dunno exactly what it is but just don't like it, maybe it's too cartoony and round or something. Could be that it's too obvious.
- Argh all the colours, so many colours. Especially on a dark grey background like that.
- Just adding the mac promo scout pic on there makes it seem really lazy and kinda boring.
- Using all those fancy blending options in Photoshop is cool and all but just slapping them there doesn't really do any good. If anything I think it looks awful especially on the European Team Fortress 2 League bit where the blue and red are really strong and in my eyes they mix together so that it's really hard to focus on.

I hope that there's people outside this thread doing their own banners. Take that as you will.]]></description>

Scout one suffers from too many types of fonts as well as too many colours. The key is to not over complicate and try to stick to about 3 different colours. For example ETF2L's current Banner has Orange, light blue and dark blue as its key colours with fonts that are similar.  This seems to be a general trend with most peoples Banners, just keep trying!]]></description>

Thanks :) You still think the quality is too low? That link is now the updated version with the blocks re-done in better detail.

EDIT: Do you mean the res is too low? Because it's 1000x210 which is what the News announcement said was the size requirement. I notice yours are far bigger though.
