We all know the following picture all too well:



In this thread you can submit your own banners for the login screen. Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that every submission will actually be used in the end. Depending on the number of submissions there will be a poll to select the best ones that will be randomly displayed on the login screen of the upcoming ZLauncher release.

If you decide to use the ZDaemon logo, we'd prefer if you use one of the following logos or something based on them:

(krawas smoothed logos! when adding them as a layer make sure you are in RGB color mode)



(previous logos with rough edges)




General submission rules for the banner:
  • PNG format (Portable Network Graphics)
  • width: 357 height: 237
  • 24 bpp (BitsPerPixel)
  • no transparencies/alpha blending!
  • don't go overboard with crazy photoshop effects Wink


Apart from that you are free to do whatever you like. You can use in-game screenshots or anything else that is related to ZDaemon or Doom!

You can also post your 'work in progress' banners and ask for feedback on how to improve them.

Yeah, good idea to renew the login screen.
Here are some screens I made:














Maybe helpful tools for others:
plain logo with shaddow
login_banner.wad
login_banner_heretic.wad

wow, after comparing mine logo to those krawa's, i see that mine is kinda a regular piece of shit :P i'm not a graphic designer so i don't have anything to lose in fact by posting mine attempt here aswell :)

btw excuse screenshot quality, it was taken in 2005 in a match BK vs OST, in that time players could use skin which is now for bots only, it's a pre-game photography of all players :)

i've got one more idea so here it is, i edited the screenshot and made it symetric - i didn't like the left side of the "texture" + i played a little with the brightness and contrast of the screenshot as Krawa adviced me :)

I couldn't help it...



...going to post more serious stuff when some inspiration hits me. Smile

Edit: since the only screenshots I have are scoreboards, I will use the freeview function on old demos. Who knows, maybe I'll find something interesting worth graphic tweaking.

Hope this isn't "overboarding with photoshop effects" :p
Hope it'll do Embarassed
I forgot to remove some leaking pixels.
(can be deleted :p)

(same for the doom banner in the lower right corner)

I really like Krawa's last one. It just has one marine firing at something and that's about it. Simplicity is good, it's cool to have just one "main" object and a background.

Hrmm, no. Mine always looked slightly different Razz

Cool contest, man! Soon as I saw this, I thought of Krawaboob with his ZDS banners, but it seems he has many worthy contenders!

Lol, you should have used that old pic that has all the bot in Brit10 Smile

Personally I don't feel that one gamemode should be emphasised over any other. I do like how Krawa included the Heretic logo in one of his images.

I think you find that the alien was in one of Gyross' pics, not Capo's Razz

Pics with 0 players evident, yet bearing the text "online multiplayer doom". This isn't a login screen banner contest for Oda you know.

I'll have a stab at producing some goods myself, but I am lazy.
