August 15th Edit:
The contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone who participated! We should have the results to share within the next 48 hours, so stay tuned. Emails will be sent out to the top 5 banner submitters in regards to the prize, your own Did You Know on the sidebar, and of course we will compile a list of every banner we decide to use. Even if your banner doesn’t make the cut, we thank you for trying.
Original Post:
How do you like the idea of your very own banner sitting atop the DDY throne? Sorry, but not happening, that’s begna’s seat.
But if you’d like to see your own banner at the top of DDY’s site, now’s your chance!
We’re looking for more banners to add to the site because we wanna see what you can create.
Contest Rules:
This contest shall run from today till the 14th of August. If we have an issue or a suggestion in regards to your banner, we will bring it up with you in the comments, so be sure to save your work and make backups in Photoshop or GIMP! On the 14th submissions will close, and we will let DDY’s staff vote on the top five submissions. First to third, and two runner ups. Expect the results within 48 hours of then.
The top five submissions can either make their very own “Did You Know?” for the right sidebar, or you can have us make one up about you instead, Rageo’s unfunny humor and all! Limit one per person.
We will also compile in that post every other banner we decided to use and we will credit each submission accordingly. So even if your banner doesn’t make the top five, that doesn’t mean we won’t use it or you won’t be credited!
Good luck to everyone!
RIP BERNIE
Here’s my attempt:

First prize is apparently a Loli Harem starter kit, featuring a yandere, and not one, but two tsundere’s. Neat!

Omg a Honobono Log one! You’re awesome.
I like the Noragami one too. Hmm, think you could make one that says “Fansubs” instead of “DDY”? Also, how’s it look if you center the text in the leftover space rather than aligning it to the left? Just curious.
thanks, really, about Norgami’s, sorry I delete the PSD ._.
i might do another one later, still have time.
No problem, it’s still quite nice.
Not exactly happy with the colors I suppose, I’m open for suggestions

Well that’s about the general idea. What say you?
http://i.imgur.com/Z6msdAs.png
Neat. Think you can anti-alias or blur those icicles? They kind of stand out with the rest of the art.
good point. It was 2 am when I “released” that picture :P
Meanwhile I correctly pathed Emilia out, I’ll do the rest tomorrow.
Let’s give it a try
http://i.imgur.com/A3Ezx87.png
Not bad. Where the hell did you even get those character images from? :P
Height is 245, should be 250. I like the sentence, however its placement is wrong, too close to the edge. And the font design of DDY needs fixing. But do that and it’s a Go! ;-)
What he said. Consider making the group name and the byline on opposite sides and match a bit more. I’m not sure what happened to your font there to give it that faded look.
Something like this ?
http://i.imgur.com/RShp8Bb.png
Move DDY 3 pixels down and it’ll look perfect. ;-)
That’s a lot better!
This is fun. Here’s my first one: https://aww.moe/uo2may.png
(I already tried to post it once but it didn’t got in)
Updated dimensions ’cause I’m a baka. https://aww.moe/55bnjp.png
shame he’s the only one who looks like in the show.
I like it!
This might be too much information at once. https://cldup.com/dBZjEerorb.html
omg
uah, should I even continue mine lol?
Is the top 5 limited to different people or can one person get them all lol? sadface
At the end of the day, all of the prizes go to me. So please continue
began xDDd
Don’t be daunted by these. I’m doing this for years now and started like everybody else. I’m still learning actually. These days I use every editing opportunity to challenge myself in the first place.
Holy shit fam
Damn, these look like they were done by an aspiring designer—you’ve managed to integrate the group name into the picture instead of simply overlaying an empty area with it.
But I should say all the submissions so far have been consistently good and/or fun. Every time I see people crowdsourcing designs, the submissions are either much worse in general or just nonexistent. DDY has some great followers.
GJM had some good submissions too when they did this a while ago.
daaaamn.
I really like the flying witch version. It matched so well
The first four… AWESOME.
>https://cldup.com/jx1gI4kXoR.png
Needs more Maria and Rurumo.
Now that you mention it … how could I miss out on that. I should probably try to upgrade it.
Original idea of the ice was to hold the font, but honestly looks like crap and isn’t even holding the font anymore: https://aww.moe/rs7efw.png
So I adapted, blurred some stuff too: https://aww.moe/w80tyo.png
Subaru would say, good job me.
http://i.imgur.com/GFeKCoMg.png
I’ll post some more when I have the time.
Okay, previous one resized, and can’t edit post, ’cause it’s moderated. Here’s the one with the right dimensions.
http://i.imgur.com/GFeKCoM.png
I’ll post some more when I have the time.
This one is real good.
the cutout of shiro is pretty rough. may try cleaning it up or finding a higher resolution source?
https://i.imgur.com/plGc4Go.png
Im all for NGNL… But can anyone make with Monogatari Series…?
I guess I can do that next. Shaft’s Monogatari series’ style seems easy to replicate
I have something in mind for Hanamonogatari. If you don’t see me post it here in the next 1 or 2 days, then I failed at creating it.
Tnx, both of you.
Kizu would be great. Its all the hots now.
Okay, time for a feels banner. Originally I planned this to be a sig, but why the heck not, right? This one took me a while. I had to redo the background from the original, adjust the focal point and re-position everything, eg. Emilia.
This is approx. 2.2± mb btw.
https://imgur.com/a/Phc92
Imgur is weird btw, it plays as a video. Just download it as gif.
This is what I currently have btw. I’ll just update this album whenever I post something new.
https://imgur.com/a/Phc92
Well. ugh. just realized I doubled the link to the album, and srz, does not have an edit function. Well, w/ever, the new one’s there anyways. But here’s the specific new one. http://imgur.com/EI8XpQL
That’s awesome. Think you can make the border 53, 52, 54 (the site color) rather than black? It might look a little weird on the site otherwise. Or you could move the text over and then make a border go around the left and right side as well.
http://i.imgur.com/wiFYuhc.gif
I don’t know if I could move the text over the border that much and make it look decent. Two things, 1.) the color is solid, and 2.) it’d cut almost half the entire banner due to the 250px limit, if I resized the border to make it look like the text is “over” the border.
That’s fine. Thanks for your work.
New one. I dont know why my message is counted dupe. So I’ll just make this short. it’s persona 3 themed, since I saw your work on P3.
https://i.imgur.com/6Lp8q0R.png
Was originally going to do Monogatari since some dood wanted it. But then I saw you guys did the Persona 3 movies. So I just can’t help it.
This was quite a doozy since I had to vector the characters, and do a persona-esque background, since they usually do vector-comic style.
Current album > https://imgur.com/a/Phc92
This one will be my last for a while.
That typography one is top tier, buddy. You’ve got my vote.
Pls accept my humble offerings

Where’s “why don’t you all go fuck yourselves with a duffel” from? Or did you just made it up?

Thanks Chrolo.
Just wanted to make the banner but ended up rewatching the movie as well. https://cldup.com/DA6z4MxbeY.png
you went with Hana in the end… Baka or Nise would have been better, some incestous banner wouldve been fine too, but still, a good one nonetheless.
PS. Hana is not a movie…
Well, you can either be uptight about it or simply call it a movie, because it feels like one if you watch it in one go.
If you look at like that… But a movie usually screens on the cinema first…. But what do I know. Chills
It aired all in one go as well and only had a single OP and ED. Seems like a movie to me.
See? What do I know? But in the BDs…? 5ep…
That’s what I mean with being uptight. We all are aware that it’s listed as series release. Also do we know how a movie is defined, and yes, in this case it’s indeed not one in the true sense. Yet the majority wouldn’t bother nitpicking about the fact that some people label it as one, because of points such as mentioned above for example.
Indeed…
Anyway, I cant wait for Hitagi Rendezvous, after his hellish reunion with Mayoi in Hell! (Fingers crossed for OwariS2)
PS. Any plans for other Monogatari characters?
I’m rather busy this week, but I could make another one right before the deadline. Any preferences?
A Kabaneri banner would be rather nice.
You know in MS all characters are so good you can’t decide… But still, Shinobu, Hitagi, Imouto… These three in priority. With Koyomi with them? It would be a great. So whenever you got the time… I’m looking forward to it.
I can’t promise anything but will try to get it done.
@Period
Any character wish for Kabaneri?
Doesnt matter :)
Tnx ;)
Got another one. My schedule’s been shifted 2 weeks so I got some time to kill.
https://i.imgur.com/CL1mITX.png
Since some dood requested Monogatari, I did it. And since Kizu is mostly just Shinobu, I made it oriented to her.
This is transparent background btw. I don’t know if you guys are okay with transparent bg, if not, just holler and I’ll make a quick fix.
Current album > https://imgur.com/a/Phc92
hey, Im that some dood! its really good. tnx buddy
First submission. There may be more if I have other ideas: http://imgur.com/a/rQ1fW
You other three were pretty memey, but really good. You really should consider them as candidates.

They’re all very good, but the Kabaneri one is just gorgeous; good job!
Ah ha! The Plot Twist! It doesn’t have to contain DameDesuYo in anyway!
Took inspiration through the works I looked at.
Here it is~ http://i.imgur.com/CVeqtyC.png
That looks great, but we would actually like it to contain a reference to the group somehow if possible.
Few Touch Ups, 3 Banners Total, Can make few adjustments if so. Recommended to look at each individually.
Overall…. Fuk Text

I totally love the Persona one :O
The Persona and Re:Zero (the one with blurred background) are my best shots, i have 2 variant for the re:zero too (white and black “DesuYo”). the rest is a failure attemps but some one might like it so posts them as well
I hope you guys are enough self-distanced to let me off lightly. ;)

After gloomy Re:0, I added cheerful FW.
Third entry covers DW.
And I end my submissions for today with Kabaneri.

I tot I should add more edge to Levi, so I’ll be back with a revision 2.
Is that GabeN? Lol
If you mean the one in the “O” from “YO” that’s Josh DeSeno, or “Kappa”. Kappa.
@00SaS I think I covered your list, but I doubt you will see this one on the page. https://cldup.com/sN6Cu4jIeQ.png
(sorry fir late reply, been bz)
Say WHAAAAT? THAT THE MIST AMAZING ONE…
You know I’m just crazy about MS… Seeing this… Like seeing heaven on Earth.
Thank you for the effort you put on this. Although it is plain, for me personally, it’s the best so far. Gonna treasure this in my MS collection.
If it’s all right, consider my flying witch banner as placeholder for an extended version.
Thank you for the hint, itsP. I almost wasted a great idea there. https://cldup.com/6MAE6GT8aB.png
Okay, here’s muh final stuff. I’m feeling under the weather so this is my last. Since there are various revisions feel free to choose whatever.
