The Seven Deadly Sins could work, but how many Full Metal Alchemist banners would result of this?
I've thought about this a little bit, and I think that we should, more or less, follow what has gone before banner-wise... I'm leaning towards generic seasonal type banners or themes like the current banner set. |

Just popping in to let everyone know I'm not dead or anything. Just very busy with life at the moment. Banner contest is still going as planned, I'll try and get things moving forward this week.
That said, the discussion is most certainly not moving in circles. Some good stuff here, keep the suggestions going! ^^

However, if you add the Chinese Horoscope, we will have 24 choices (and if we add the Cat, then it will be 25 ) And if we add the Aztec, the Tibetan or even the Gallic Horoscopes, we will have even more choices to choose from -> This might be a bit confusing for the viewers to figure out what is the theme '-' So if that theme is chosen, we might restrain it to one Horoscope only...

I know we have been thinking what theme we should use but maybe it would be a good idea to think about what kind of themes we should not use. For example:
End example.

Well, don't think too much about it, it will just make the theme finding unpleasant Now that we have a longue list of themes, we can as well chose one from them. A simple theme doesn't mean that the banner will be simple or not nice. We're a bunch of creative artists here, so just one word is enough to unleash our creativity I guess

lol, as soon as I heard zodiac, I, like Hellychan, thought 'Fruits Basket'
'that' would be kyon, tohru, and yuki. Though I do think zodiac might be a little limiting since I don't know that many shows that feature zodiac-like characters: fruits basket, Sumomomo Momomo: Chijou Saikyou no Yome, 12 Senshi Bakuretsu Eto Ranger... people probably know more series than that though >.<

I second seasonal banners.
They can be used for a longer period time and not just 1 shots. Perhaps hold an annual banner contest every 3 months and the top 3 banners from the contest would be displayed each month. Of course that can be tweaked from 3 months to a monthly with slight differences or sub-theme for each month.

It wouldn't be annual if we did it every three months.
But even if you say that, someone still has to actually run it. We used to run the contest about that frequently but it becomes too much work after a while. Solace is running the next one because of a planned gap in the SOTM contest. I don't think (he can correct me) that he will have the time to do such a thing, long term, every few months. Takes a lot of effort to run the contests. Might be more practical if I can automate some of the more arduous tasks, but even then... |

Poor Solace *pats on back*
Indeed it's a tough job to do it, but I do believe there are many capable and willing people to run the contest. It's very hard to run the contest single handedly, I agree, but that's why I'd suggest like 3 people handling it. For instance one guy can't due to real life issues - exams, job, other stuff, then the other two or more can make it happen. Hell, I can probably do it - if I manage to convince escimo and Riker to go along That aside, hopefully (nothing is certain) the first contest will start next month.

I do not like the "lets go back to seasons" idea. The Sky banners worked really well and they're still working well, I can not say the same for the old season sets...

That said, I do not really see how moderating the entire forum (what you normally do) is easier then moderating a small contest. I really think it has more to do with how you go about it rather then it being particularly hard to do. Current system
Alternative system A forum announcement is made each step.
