Hey artists,

Today I have a challenge for you. I need the sexiest clan banners of all time to be forged right here in this thread. My clan is Apex so incorporate that in your banner.

Here are some details. Nothing here is a set in stone idea, so bonus points to whoever can create some banners with a unique idea.

Design: So I want an image from here to be the inside of the text to make up the letters. This should be done in a way so that it looks like a full image except you can only see parts of the image through the Apex logo.

Then around that I would like a gold border. I'm hoping for some sort of realistic border or one that feels a little 3dish, but not necessary. Then behind the text I would like a glow as if a light is coming from behind each letter.

Then for the dividers (when you make them), it will be the same process just a different picture from the link above.

Here is the pic I'd suggest for the main banner. here

I know it's a lot of work, I just want these to be perfect looking.

Colors: Incorporate 1 primary color (Black, or white) + One secondary color as a highlight/detail work (Either Gold, Light green, or red)

Payment: Up to 30k for a main banner & dividers.

Size: Again not set in stone. My old banner is 1000x400px and I like the size so try that.

Make a main banner first. If I deem it sexy enough then I'll give you the go ahead to make the dividers. Note: Remember how you made the main banner because I want everything to flow smoothly and look roughly the same.

I ll give it a try

On this.

Flutter: Not bad. I would su just try to make it less dark and more like epic. Maybe change the background to a light color and edit the design a little. I think the text would look better more rounded. I like the black and gold version so stick with those colors for your next wip. Oh also make the gold a little lighter, more like sphinx. Think of like a banner for Gods, thanks for the wip.

The problem is that this (forums) background is a little too bright, so I have to add something darker in order to make it visible.
Editing everything.

Ok so I have a little bit of a new idea. I think you'll be able to execute it.

Also for the font I prefer the less rounded one. The first font would probably look good for this, if not then try a font similiar to it. I'll try to find something I like but in the meantime do whatever you think would look the best.

I'll give this a go.

I can come up with some 3D render of the text and post some WIP during the whole process so you can see.
Also, can I create the font? (I'll make an unique logo) That aside, give me some days to sort some stuff before starting.

I'll post a last wip in some hours and then I'll drop out. You got a good artist to do this now anyways.

I'll give it a try. Would you like it to have a clean look or a grungy, rustic look? :3

are you looking for something like this?
