Also check We've been thinking about changing the banner for some time now, but we were unsure whether to use an existing banner from the subreddit (the one we're currently using is from a previous banner contest there) or to hold a contest to truly differentiate ourselves from the Reddit sub.
So, we decided it was best to put it to a poll. If any of you have artistic skills and are willing to create a banner, please comment below so we know. If more than one person is interested, we'll hold a banner contest. If no one is available, we'll instead hold a contest using banners that didn't win their previous contest (with proper credit, of course).
Please note that you don’t need to be an artist to enter—we also accept banners made with Photoshop, GIMPed?, KRITAd?, or any other editing software!
The deadline is until the end of the month for commenting if you are participating in the contest.
Hey, I wouldn't mind making a banner. Any specifications?
Awesome! First and foremost, the banner should be Chainsaw Man-themed and include the community’s name. It should also feature the Lemmy logo somewhere in the design. Other than that, it's up to you! Most importantly, have fun making it! Don’t forget to credit yourself somewhere in the image.
As for dimensions, Lemmy banners typically use a 5.9:1 ratio, but the standard Reddit banner size works as well.
Cool! Where should I send it once I finish?
Send me a DM with the banner when it's done. If you're the only one who submits one by the end of the month, we'll use yours. Otherwise, we'll hold a contest to let the community decide.
