What I've noticed and didn't like on 17buddies website was the "identity" of it, I'm talking about the upper banner.

Along the years I've seen so many beautiful upgrades and addons to this site, but the banner remains the same. It didn't bother me at all, and It still didn't bother me but since this site is growing & growing and its beginning to make way among other half-life and mods resources sharing big sites I thought with a new banner, or an upgraded banner, the 'identity' will be taken to the next level.

Below I want to share my version of the 'new' banner and hope it will be as close as people want to see.


What I've changed is the quality of the image and some parts of it (half life logo in left). I wanted to keep the banner as close as the old one, including the design and renders used. Sorry, but I couldn't find the flying airplanes


If Chapo wants he can make a thread about the new banner vision and let players design their own banner.


(the new file with .png extension, it can be changed the extension, but I wouldn't recommend it, the size of the file will be bigger)

Love it

Will try it for some times

Great idea tizu: we could ask for members to design a new media kit for 17b, including website banner, share button, banner for advertizing on other sites, banner for (eventually) maps constest... and others media files (animated ads for example)

I regret not being a great designer. With my capacities of coding, i would be rich now

It would be nice to see a CS related 17b's banner IMO.

Thank you.



I'm willing to support the action.



Well, neither do I.
