2021 Q2 Submission Themes

[Arano]

For inspiration, see our banner design archive.

There is no competition, so all banners submitted will be used in random rotation as per the current ones in their designated month. You can create as many banners as you like and if you want to make a banner for all 3 rounds you are of course free to do so

Design instructions and how to submit your banners are below the theme details. Downloads have been updated!

April Theme: You know what to do
BRING OUT THE MEMES!
Bonus: Ginga species swap! Swap Ginga characters with other animals!

May Theme: A thank you to fantachan - Deadline end of April
Fanta has translated the GDW Monkey Arc & Russian Arc, TLW, and it is thanks to her translations (and vanille!) that we have been able to keep up to date with Ginga Densetsu Noah. Please use this months theme to say thank you to her, using images from the mangas she has translated!

June Theme: Supreme Commander Rigel - Deadline end of May
Leadership has officially changed in GDW, it's time for Rigel to get his own set of banners!

Banner Creation info/rules:

Design your banner(s) at 1,800px wide by 394px tall at 72dpi.

• If you have photoshop/GIMP, you can download a template here. Updated with old and new logos 2021
• If you use any other program, here are the Ginga Board Logo downloads: Original Logo + New Blue Logo
• The logo does not have to be centered horizontally, it can go anywhere in the space as long as the size stays the same. You are allowed to alter the colour.
• There will be a credit box added with your name to either end of the banner where space allows (as the current banners show). Please be mindful of this and make sure you leave space at one end.
• You can use images from the Free Image Gallery/scans of your own or draw the characters yourself. If you draw it yourself, you may include your artist signature in the corner, but otherwise please design the banner free of any text.

How to submit your banner design:

Submit your banner design by uploading it to a hosting site like imgur and posting it in a reply in this topic.
Please save your file as a high res JPEG or a PNG.

Hey guys, sorry for forgetting about this for so long. Your standard silliness for April please! I've added a week's grace because of my lateness if people want to make one, but can't in time for April 1st.

Aaalright, I'll upload my first banner here! --A banner with very dark themes, be warned.


...Literally!

The background of the banner might just seem like a flat black background but there are actually many hidden messages written in (very) slightly lighter black text. Didn't see that coming, huh?

[Digsu]

What happens if you take one of Ginga's most iconic speeches (as well as the name of the board) and put it through Google Translate a "few" too many times?



Pure chaos, that's what.

I don't get it

Oh yeah I remember this, the arc where Riki suffers a spicy bombay curry

[GSDJohn]

I don't get it

This is not a fandom wide thing but a small gag I have involving Blue using the darkness to hide his attacks due to him only appearing at night on the GDW anime and his fur being almost the same color as the background. Open the image on MS Paint and try to make the background white. There's hidden stuff

LMAO "The feces soon turned blood red" HAHAHAHAHAH *hakurolaugh*, this is freaking gold (and this comes from somebody who dislikes toilet humor xD). Ricky/Rika is the best dog.

Gotta read the ZingPlate series instead of the Ginga series, it seems so much better than Ginga in the comedy aspect, even if the story is entirely random and lacking in coherence . /jk

[Dragon]

That message, GSDJohn Jyoshiro does indeed suck

IT'S NOT OUR BLOOD, IT'S BOMBAY'S BLOOD. I'm dead

OMG THAT JINNAI IS SO BEAUTIFUL. The aesthetic. Everything. perfect, Libra !

omgg it's so perfect!!

I can't believe Jinnai left the Ginga series to work as a Maybelline model... the sly dog.

Anyway, I was wondering, since Fanta is going to stop translating GDN, maybe we should have a 'Thank You' theme for her for May/June? Maybe something like an open theme of all her translated works - the Monkey Arc, the Russian Arc, TLW and GDN?

OMG- I would love to make a matching banner with Kirikaze! Beautiful gray blue kishu with weird headballs

I just wanted to ask if you would mind since it was your idea

[LIBRAKIND]

Ahaha thank you everyone!

I’m loving these April banners so far!

Lol, I can literally see Blue and the GB logo without painting it white as I look closely. But if there are messages, then I won’t be able to see them without the whiteness. However, if there is “Jyoushiro sucks,” then I’m happy!

The May theme is a neat idea! I'll try it out, for once...

Anybody's hungry? Here's some Oreo Bastards for y'all



-Idea gotten from reading SoullessDog's fanfic "Temptation" where Hougen is constantly and consistently referred to as "the Oreo bastard", a nickname for Hougen that I absolutely loved and that I needed to make into a banner
