Tch Banner?

[jasonl]

Hi all! I have had some help with my site and we will be launching soon. I would like a banner or button of some sort to place on my site to direct interested people to sign up with TCH, with your permission of course. Is there a link to get a hold of these sort of things?

 

Thanks!

No 80 x 15 ?

[DWD]

Just thought the wonderful people of TCH should know that since you do not provide an 80 x 15 banner that some people have made their own inferior banners not worthy or representative of the fine product that is TCH:

 

 

But, hey, if you don't care...that's fine...go ahead don't make a high quality 80 x 15 button that we can use.

 

/tongue in cheek

[TCH-Rob]

Is that some kind of reverse psychology?

[DWD]

Yes.

 

Too subtle?

[TCH-Rob]

Maybe a little. Might have to see whose the smart ones around here to get it. Other me might not understand.

[DWD]

OK, how about this:

 

People like those little 80x15 button/badge thingies.

 

TCH does not offer an official one.

 

TCH family members make up their own...because we are so proud of TCH.

 

What people make up looks like crap...(see above).

 

When non-TCH family members see the crappy button, they naturally think TCH is a second rate host with no attention to detail (which is absolutely wrong).

 

Sooooo...get with the program TCH and make an 80x15 banner for gosh sakes!!!

[TCH-Rob]

Now that was just subtle enough. Other me might just understand. I am not good with graphics but others here might be. Wonder what the collective might be able to make?

[DWD]

While I'm on my rant. Look at the banner page:

 

http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/web-hosting-links.html

 

The suggested text link is this:

 

Web Hosting withTotal Choice

 

There is no space between "with" and "Total" but there is a space between "Total" and "Choice." What's up with that?

[Beltza]

You don't need to be good with graphics to make these buttons, there are scripts that can do that for you. I made some buttons, and have put them on my site.

[DWD]

I was thinking more along the lines of something like this:

 

 

...just thrown together in PaintShop.

[GroovyFish]

Here's my attempts...

 

 

[DWD]

I like yours better.

 

Now if the TCH artists could just gif up the yellow sphere with a little movement it would be perfect.

[bl4nk]

I made one, though I think I need to work on it just a bit more cause TCH doesn't really mean much if you don't know what it is.

Heh thanks for that. I took like 2 seconds making that image on Adam Kalsey's button maker a year or so ago.

[DWD]

And a fine two seconds it was.

 

Here's the one I'm going with until TCH provides us with their own:

 

 

Which is GroovyFish's with an outline added.

[DWD]

For what it's worth, I'm also using this one I made up because somehow I got started on using 128 x 22 banners for credits:

 

[mr_lucas]

as allways i am surfing the web and i keep on seeing these lttle images of what they are running in the backround Like

 

PHP Powered and w3c CSS

 

So i decided to create this one for TCH

 

 

Please tell me what you think or maybe you can come up with a better one that i can place on my site

Yay! Thank you! I really like putting those kinds of buttons on my site (the 15x80 ones) and was looking for one here but could find it.

 

Nice job. Though maybe you want to put it on give with 4/8 colors since it's so small and doesn't use many blending colors...

[stevevan]

How about something like this?

[youneverknow]

Too Big....

15X80 is just about standard for these

[TCH-Bruce]

There was a discussion on these types of buttons here

[mr_lucas]

I love the ones in the thread that TCH-Bruce pointed out to us so i will place my final idea here can somboy merge these threads so we cantinue this topic

You know, while we're on the subject, why is it that the text link is listed as "strongly preferred" on the TCH links page?

 

I mean, it's OK with me if you guys have a preference, and I was glad to honor that preference...but I'm wondering why? What have you got against graphics? Do you have something against visual art? Are you some kind of philistines?

[TCH-Don]

A text link is better for search engines.
