No yet, are you subtly offering to help with that Wink or just want to promote the site?

If only I was as clever as you Phil!! Tongue
 
I presently use the PA banner where I can and ask bands that I help to promote the site this way too. Obviously, I'd like to extend this to MMA too.
 
Maybe there is an aspiring banner maker already collaborating on MMA that will read this and offer to help?
 
Please?

Abel aka Darksideof at PA has agreed to design and produce an MMA banner
 
You may already be aware of the fantastic collages he puts together and I think we are lucky to get his services and I'm already looking forward to seeing what he comes up with. (examples below)
 
mailto:M@x/Phil - M@x/Phil : Can I have your agreement and support with this please? Obviously, its going to be a great way of promoting the site further but its not my decison to make.

Darksideof has our green card to do whatever his inspiration will go. Like you said, this will be a good way to promote the site (as long as it is used Wink)

I'm looking forward to see what you can pull off! I thoroughly enjoy all your work on your PA collages, and am excited to see what you can do for this site.

Anyone think we could use it in place of our current logo? This one is a little, erm, straightforward.

An email I just sent to steve this morning.
 
Hi, Steve
I want to give an update with the collage. I had finished and it looks real cool, but my mac laptop electric cord charger had broken. Which mean I can't even turn on the PC. This is crazy it broke right after I was done. I ordered one and I should be getting by the end of the month the latest, which is next week.
I am so eager to show you. I am hoping you like it and use it for the website,  I worked so hard on it just like my other collages, but we have to wait. I tried to buy it at a local mac store and they wanted $ 80.00 Dollars when I  on amazon.com had it for $20 bucks!.
I just wanted to let you what's going on and why it taking so long.
We keep in touch!

Ok there you have it:

What you guys think?
Steve asked me to ask you guys opinion about where I should place the MMA logo.
In the meddle, corner or blended into the background? what you guys think?

At first glance, it looks amazing!! I'll have to take a good look to spot all the artists I can. Smile

As far as logo placement goes, I could see it blended into the middle bottom as it stands now.  It isn't as "busy" down there as other parts of the collage.  I guess adding the logo would involve a bit more movement anyway, but it's definitely a great start.

hey!
An idea just pop up to my head. thanks to you!
 I was thinking the logo as a standing sign right at the bottom. it can been  right by eddie or next to the Guns and Roses Cross or by  the wasp image..? maybe Blackie Lawless' flag?
I think that is a great idea.Embarrassed

Yeah, now Abel has completed the collage we need members to voice their opinions so that any amendments can be made before the image is reduced in size. 
 
Max/Phil, can you forward a jpeg of the MMA logo to Abel so he can add it to the final banner please?

It looks really cool. Best I can tell though, most of the images included are either from glam, traditional, or thrash metal and most of them are from classic bands.  I don't recognize all of the images, but should other genres and maybe some more modern artists be included as well? 

-------------


Posted By: Pekka
Date Posted: 01 Sep 2010 at 9:11am
^Seconded, yes. Perhaps one image per band, even? 

Is the signature size image going to be the whole thing or a small fragment? If the whole thing, it may make the images way too small when reduced in size.

 Hey bother what's going on?
well, when I was discusting  to Steve about  the banner and what band should I include, he recomended  most of these. Then i subjected that to the collage should be only of of tradiction heavy metal bands which are the foundation of metal and that are common and easy images  to be recognize by the average heavy metal fan. Bands like pegan's Mind, Bloodbath etc aren't really,.however I did include some modern bands' albums like Burzum and Rammstein.
however T i don't want to oveload the collage like I did in the past Like
Like these collages:
I recomended to use one these collage to Steve but  I got no respond. So I made a new one.
 
 
If I add more images to the collage it gonna look to busy and I don't think that is a good Idea.Shocked
Also when it will get scale down it gonna be very hard to be recognize.  I Think.

Or  maybe MMA can use the progmetal collage later on the webiste. sounds good.

Abel,

Lets wait until we have heard from more of the members.
 
I still believe with the final banner that we can only incorporate the "classic" well known bands, otherwise where do you start where do you finish, who do you include who don't you include when there are c.75000 Metal bands out there! Source: Enc. Met.
 
It needs to be easily identifiable but thats just my opinion.
 
Don't go changing anything just yet!

I have no objection to using the current one that Abel made, I just thought that it might be more appropriate to add some newer artists as well.  I am a classic metal guy though, so I have no recommendations for current artists.  He mentioned that there are bands like Burzum and Rammstein in there.  These aren't artists that I am familiar with so I probably wouldn't have recognized what they were.  I agree that with 75000 metal bands I'd have no idea where to begin either.

Liike I said If I add more albums it would overloaded it and I think it is finish the way it is.
imaging if I would have to create an artwork witth 75,000 metal bands. I would never end.

If Abel needs a Jpeg of the MMA logo, I need more details about the resolution... I can send him a high resolution 
version of the logo. Meanwhile, he can at least save the logo used in the forum (righ-click on the image and save 
image as...) in order to do some tests!?

Abel, until you get the correct quality image, do you want to try to save the image as Phil has suggested and then add it to the collage as Scott recommended, ie over the JP Razor Blade. Thats a bloody good idea IMO.
 
Thanks Scott. Clap

I have a question. Do you guys think I should crop the collage so it make is a official banner standard size or Should just crop it?
like this?
it would be a shame if I would i have to crop it but then the whole collage will be very small when it is reduce.
Wht you guys think?
or Can you guy use the collage as it is? not as a banner?Embarrassed
 
 
crop
Smaller. Less Resolution.

IMO Abel it has to be banner size so it can be added to other sites as a means to advertise MMA and therefore increase visits.
 
I personally intend to add it to my MySpace page at least and will send it to all the bands that are my "friends" which are close to 1800 now. I know a lot of bands I have helped that will almost certainly use the banner on their pages too. Big smile
 
Maybe try both versions, a cropped one leaving the Priest blade to add the MMA logo and a reduced version.
 
Everyone can then form an opinion.

The Priest blade with the logo is certainly a great idea.  Perhaps that would be the focal point of a smaller, banner sized version of the collage.  The bigger collage with a logo could possibly fit in well on the main page, but that's obviously m@x's / graphix's call.

I see your point. Thanks!! that great news that so many people will see it. quiet awesome news!Embarrassed
 Also i was think that maybe the collage ( the whole collage) can be a intro page Right in the center and at the button be an enter to the site link or the image can be the link.
 Something like this:
http://www.heavymetalinbaghdad.com/ - http://www.heavymetalinbaghdad.com/
 
http://www.rush.com/ - http://www.rush.com/
 
http://www.toolband.com/ - http://www.toolband.com/
 
 also When can have the collage as a background image like this.
http://anthrax.com/NFWS/ - http://anthrax.com/NFWS/
http://www.chronixradio.com/ - http://www.chronixradio.com/

Also I can create an banner like this one but the standard size. these aren't
I'll show you when i have done. I will try several version..

New logo! Rawks

Though the one on the frontpage is so small that if I didn't know I would have no idea what's in it. Like the colours anyway.

The banner in PA looks really good, though it might have a bit of an overly emphasized Kiss presence Tongue

Wow! The effects of the collage sit behind the original logo perfectly and really stands out!!
 
Great job Abel!
 
Where are we with the resized banner to use on other sites?
 
mailto:M@x/Phil - M@x/Phil can you add a link to the image in "About MMA" so people can expand it to see Abel's work in greater detail?

Are there supposed to be a difference between the logo on the frontpage and the logo in the forum? The one in the forum looks a bit better IMO. It�s probably just a matter of not having copied the one from the forum to the frontpage yet, but I thought I would mention it.

I saw it and I think if you have a bit larger visitors can view the collages in greater details. If that is possible..
thanks,,,

Abel,
 
This is the HTML code for PA's present banner.
 
<a href="http://www.progarchives.com"><img src="http://www.progarchives.com/banners/progarchives468x60.gif" alt="Progressive Rock Music Ultimate Discography" width="468" height="60" border="0"></a>
 
I believe your banners will need to have this type of coding for us to post on other sites that will link back to MMA.
 
Maybe if you post your banner designs here and hopefully Phil or mailto:M@x - M@x will help with the coding? Big smile

This is fantastic! I love how you can see the icons from album covers of heavy rock such as Kiss Destroyer and Eddie of Iron Maiden, and there's the Judas Priest Razor, and Ozzy's Moon, G N R's cross, Scorpions Blackout, Accept's balls, Metallica's Puppets,  Megadeth's Youthinasia, the NWOBHM are given a representation, WASP's Blackie and that flag, Mercyful Fate's Oath, Rush's starchild, Dio's beast, Heep's portrait, Rainbow's live icon, ACDC's Highway, Black Sabbath's witch, Deep Purple's Machine Head and so many others. Nice to see the albums represented such as Powerslave, 2112,  In Rock, and Stay Hungry. Great JOB! Colourful too for metal albums, and most of the classics you would expect to see are there. A terrific tribute. One of your darker collages too given the imagery which is hellish, but any metal fan would recognse these and it is that recognition that makes it so endearing...

GLAM METAL!

I didn't create any thread on PA about these banners. I Think Max started using them if I am not mistaken, but I am pretty sure he is using the banners I made for MMA.
Yeah that's be great if I my previous metal collages can view as banners as well. 
I am  working on a Jethro Tull Collage as we speak. I will keep you post it when I am done. take care buddy!!!
