    I have to say I found #4 quite good and a bit humorous. I like #5 but think the blur and the pixelation in the hands takes away
    from the over all look. This contest will be fun if everyone gets feedback and some sort of ratings.

    thanks to all designers so far.

    I had really intended to have everyone simply follw the sistine chapel line, but i'm quite excited to see the variations.

    numbers 4 and 5 are excelent.

    with regards to the text hair of the dog blog.net i like the simple style of number 4 rather then the flowing cursive style of number 5.

    FYI, the size i require for the blog is 940 x 180 pixels.

    thanks again,

    dan

    Oh and, two more things.

    the style of glass that can be seen in numbers 5,6 and 7 is preferred as that is the shape Australians are familiar with.

    The 'glow' around the beer looks great.

    thx

    sorry, also, dont get hung up about the height of the image as mentioned above, that is '180', it can be larger.

    Hi! I am doing a gif banner, 940x360 pixels, and I would like some previous feedback from you, because you say that it can be a gif. I presume, with that, that it can be an "animated" gif. Not flash, not still, but an animated gif, right?
    I will post it as soon as it is finished, but, meanwhile, please, just answer something about that. Thanks!

    Oh, one other thing... Since I am portuguese, I would like some help with Australian beers, like you mentioned before, and some help either with the text. You say that you prefer clean and straight (plain) text, right? It is important!
    Thanks again.

    I am also preparing a still version, of course, just in case you prefer it to be still!

    Ola Marcio,

    Yes, gif is ok, not flash.

    The shape of the glass is the only thing regarding beer, we drink out of one type mainly (see number 5 for a good example)

    as for the text, just simple plain fonts. no cursive.

    thanks

    Hello again, and yet, another question... What are we here talking about copyrights? Because I have seen a picture of a product, to serve beer, that I would like to incorporate in the image. It is Phillips, should I or not, use it, because of the copy rights? Should I erase the name? Or beer names?
    Thanks again...

    Hi again... Next one, if you like that, I will try to find that kind of glass...
    See if you like it, its kind of "Beerish" Comic look! I tried to move a little bit from the other ones, but, in my next one, tomorrow, you will say something. But say if you are liking this one, and if I should stay with this in the still one.
    Thanks!

    hi marcio, thanks, i see where u are going with the cartoon look. it looks good but i think we should probably leave it more traditional looking.

    Oh and so you know, im not following the sistine chapel lines, purely because its been done so many times before, and im sure you want something that stands out? If you don't like the David statue versions just say and I will stop putting time into them :)

    Hi again, DanWalsh, contest holder. I would like some info about my new files, please, and if you can have access to the one, number 30, because it is animated, and if so, or if not, better saying, please ask it to me in some other way rather than this one, if you prefer!
    Number 29 is like a still shot from the 30th, 27th and 28th are similar just with the type a little different, and also with the ".net" in it!
    Please say something, and I will develop some other ideas that I have here! Hope not to be working hard for nothing... If you like something, please say to develop it further.
    Thanks

    Good one, webspinner! You raised the level on this one! I'd better hurry, doing something great! Although it would be good if the CH could give is opinion on the designs made so far... More than just a star, to where we don't exactly know where is going to!

    Cheers!

    Hi again... Yes, a few comments would do good! Will this contest will be spread? Since you don't gave any other clues for our works, it would be good for it to be... But, it is up to the CH!

    Thanks

    Well... Because of the time differences, I might not be able to came here in time for me to see any answer from the CH before the time ends, therefore, if any one of you wins, congratulations! I did my best, according to what it felt to me. I even tried a different glass to the beer! Good luck to all!
    Thanks

    Márcio Guerra

    P.s.- If, in any case, the contest stretchs its time, I will came here to see the CH answers and change anything to my designs. Thanks!

    Congrats I guess but think this was dirty as I orginally came up with the big eyes but was called away for National Guard Duty
    to do any further revisions. If you don't believe me check out #4. This is pretty sad to rip another designers concept. ~Bob
