Art request for the symbrock comm

[cupidsbow]

Hi everyone,

I really need a banner I can use in order to promote symbrock  on various communities, such as fandomcalendar  and dw-community-promo. You'll see the kinds of banners people use there. So far, I've just posted occasionally to other comms with no banner.

My artistic talents are a bit limited. I could make a (very ordinary looking) banner, and will if it comes to that, but I'd much rather have banners from you awesome artists. More than one is great as I can cycle through them for different fests and things instead of using the same one every time.

If you have questions you can comment below, or email me on cupidsbower at gmail.

Ideally, the banner will have:

• the name of the community on it
• easy-to-read text about how we're a community that's for "sharing all kinds of fan works about Eddie and Venom" -- you can use that exact wording, or come up with something more succinct/better
• some art that showcases Eddie and Venom in some way -- maybe something that evokes both the movie and the comics
• a size somewhere between 350x150  and 700x500 would be pretty good, I think. Not too big, not too small.

Here are some of the banners posted on the comms above that I think are really effective:

This could totally work for a bingo square, depending on your card and how you interpret it. :)

Here's an idea I adapted from that recent art I made.

Oh, that's awesome!!! I love the way the tongue is the "S". Thank you. You're a star.

And I've already put it to good use!

Yay, cool! :)

About 10 people have joined the comm since I posted those, and at least one has created and posted a bingo card, so great work!

Hah the tongue as the S is killing me, this is so rad!

[mific]

Yay! :D

Here's these, plus the comics-logo-inspired title I made if anyone wants to use it for their own nefarious purposes!

[cupidsbow]

Brilliant! These are great, and I'll use one for the next round of promotions. I think I might have a go at adding the "Symbrock" to the community banner as well. ETA: And I can't believe I forgot to say this, but thank you!!!!

[cupidsbow]

And I've now updated the community's main banner and icon to include your "Symbrock". Hooray. It looks cool.

[nemmica]

Oh sweet, it looks awesome! (It looked awesome before, but now it looks awesome and makes me point and go 'ooh ooh i helped' lol)

[cupidsbow]

I'm really pleased with it too -- it's better than the first version. It's great that this version is collaborative. It's more appropriate for a community.

Thanks for sharing. :)
