To TSchwab:
these banners are the product of image retouching and layering software like photoshop.
there may be site that offers drag and drop banner solutions but loading the Augie font and really getting what you want might be hard hmm

To MM: is my entry non compliant because of the missing R? for registered trademark?
Can I/should I resubmit? or will it still be judged on design as is?

The present type face is childish to say the least.  If you're not a child or a pedophile... it's hard to relate to it. 

Just sayin'.  -JULIAN

I would suggest redesigning the logo. And making it an actual logo, instead of just a typeface. The one you have now really doesn't look professional, or appropriate to the target audience.

As long as you keep that horrible font, don't expect anything cutting edge or even neat!! When I saw the ad for the competition I was glad to Finally see that banner go, but seems it will only be replaced by another not-so-beautiful one.
And why the strict rules regarding the placement of image and 'logo'?? There's not much left to play around or be creative with.

So I do plan to enter but just wanted to voice a few thoughts

1. I am shocked how so many people haven't read the T&C's about entering
2. It's their website, if you don't like the logo this isn't the place to rant
3. It's a banner competition, the client has listed the rules.. if you disagree don't play.
4. Model Mayhem is the logo why are people making their own, this wasn't requested.
5. The rules state the only text to be included is the logo so why are people listing their only little summaries... catch lines...
6. It clearly says one entry per MM account so those who can't follow basic instructions should be disqualified as its unfair on everyone playing by the rules.

I don't agree with you. I am Ranting here because I'm a client who Pays every month for their service- it's not for free, and I may decide to upgrade someday. So I would like to be greeted by a less-ugly banner every day. I'm not ranting as a designer who doesn't like the assignment, but a member of the community who would like to improve it.

Just strolled around and saw lots of really cool entries! 

It would be great if the judging committee did a change-up and allowed fonts other than Augie (stated in the rules) but that would be going against their own word, hurting the integrity of the rules (especially for folks that followed them).  I've seen some great patterns, though, and lots of creativity.

But...some of you entered multiple images (despite the rules saying only one per member), different sizes other than 800x100, and so on.  Keep your fingers crossed that the judges will be lenient...   :-)

I hope they do this again next year!
