We are in the process of direct messaging our top contenders ... thank you all for your help :-)

I am unsure about swf file... sorry

Great Job Everyone!!!

Please outline the banner as seen in #15 and #16

Please make the CTA button red and inviting to click as seen in #15

Keep in mind that we will be using a number of different headline / body / CTA combinations so we are looking for universal cartoons that will work for all of them... thus the reason why #11 looks good but would not work exactly.

Thank you all!!

Please use a white background with back text / animated character, we would like to see the headline body and CTA along with the animated banner at all times a good example of this is #7.

Please submit a couple different versions of the banner containing different animation (for example a stick figure running, another stick figure doing jumping jacks or dancing, lifting weights, etc, etc...)

***The animation we hope will get the viewers attention but the text must be easy to read thus communicate our message (so dont get lazy on the text formatting) and the CTA (call to action) must look inviting to click (i.e. red button with shadow effect, blue text link, etc, etc). ******

Please let us know if you have any questions...

Thanks!!!

@auti - we would prefer to let others designers see what we like, we are looking for original work so anyone who copies someone else's animation will not be awarded as the winner. :-)

Dont need a 'branded' banner, so no need for product / company name.

The animation should be short, no sound. Just a repeat image loop that gets viewers attention.
