Subject: Fan-Created Avatars and User Themes

Bungie Community,

Some time ago, the call was issued to provide us with graphics that we could use to dress up the forum. A lot has changed since then. Fashions have changed. Haircuts have changed. The games we support have changed. The steward of this rambunctious community (that would be me) has changed. Now that you magnificent geeks are under new management (that would be mine), I am locking the old thread and revitalizing this initiative right here. The bad news is that your old submissions will not be scrutinized. The good news is that I will personally scrutinize your new submissions myself.

You are welcome to unleash your creativity on Avatars and User Themes that will help the users of Bungie.net express themselves. We are looking for concepts that are Bungie-specific. We are not looking for iconography from the Halo universe. This website is home to Bungie fans now. We invite you to create assets that they can fly on their profiles.

Guidelines:
-All files must be .GIF or .JPG.
-Portable Network Graphics (PNG) will not be accepted.
-Avatars must be 90 pixels square and less than 30k.
-User Themes must be 902 pixels wide, 260 pixels high, and less than 150k.

This invitation extends to Avatars and User Themes only. We are not accepting new Private Group Themes at this time. Please share your submissions with us by hosting them externally and linking to them in a response to this topic. And, please limit your discussion to the delivery of creative assets.

To the drawing board!

If my post didn't belong, I'm sorry. I guess I'll just have this spot reserved for when I make an avatar I'd like to share.

Ninja edit by: Tom T
Why reserve a spot? If you were tasked with browsing this thread surely you would read it from the point you last read up to, rather than the beginning? Everything beforehand would already have been evaluated and possibly shortlisted.

You have no way of telling what has already been looked at, you also have DeeJ's assurances that everything will be looked at. Why run the risk of having your submissions overlooked?

Don't reserve posts. It is stupid.

Reply to above edit: I accidentally replied to this topic with chatter, although DeeJ instructed not to. I'm fine if this post is delete, it'd probably be better, especially because it takes up so much space with no real relevancy to the topic now. If I hadn't posted in this thread, I would of probably not said "I guess I reserve this spot." But, since I had nothing better to do with this post...

Might have to whip out PS again.

Edit: Lots of cropped pictures from old games...

To Make Posts is Glorious

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

"heh"

Okay here's a couple [url=WHOOPS NO HALO]I've had sitting around forever[/url].

I thought this was good, created by Undertheknif3. I was surprised it wasn't added following the all-stars contest.

I hate to see people wasting their time to create something great that we are not likely to use, so let me say this again...

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

I'll reserve this spot for something new.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

My avatar, A tribute to Myth: The Fallen Lords, one of the most awesome RTS games ever. :3

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Here's a few avatars I've had for a while:
