Promotional Banners

[campforums]

Upon the suggestion of one of our members (Thanks 2sweed) I've been trying to think of what a successful banner to promote our Camp Forums would look like. Maybe there are some graphics experts amongst us?

These are basically just a rehash of the header logo and the logo we use for the Tapatalk forum app, but it will have to do for now. If you have any suggestions or sizes preferences feel free to let me know.

Banner 1 (520x110)
​

HTML Code:

<a href="http://campingbabble.com"><img src="http://campingbabble.com/banners/logo-slogan.png" alt="Camping Babble" /></a>

BB Code:

[url=http://campingbabble.com][ATTACH=full]525[/ATTACH][/url]

Banner 2 (196x144)
​

HTML Code:

<a href="http://campingbabble.com/"><img src="http://campingbabble.com/banners/logo-tapatalk.png" alt="Camping Babble" /></a>

BB Code:

I like both designs, but the long narrow one gives you room to add a catchy sentence under the campforums address. I would also suggest you get code written for the banner that way the banner can be added to other websites or blogs, and clicking on it would insure it would bring people here.

Or you could save the banner as a jpeg picture file, as it is easier to use and the size can be made big or small depending on preferences. I could easily add a link with the banner, but I am sure you don't want your banner to be used for other sites. That is why the code is so important.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've updated the original post with some code that can be copy and pasted on to forums or web pages.

Bit of a problem. If I am not signed into this website, the banners I put on my website, the picture or image, does not
open up. It just shows a square without banner. Do you know why this might be happening? All other banners on my site are working correctly.

Ah, that was because I uploaded the banners as post attachments. I fixed it so it should work now.

Thanks for reporting that

Thanks a lot. The problem has been solved.

Are you planning to update your banners with the new forum name?

 

[campforums]

Thanks for the reminder. Yes, I should have this thread updated with the new banners by sometime tomorrow.
