Are you volunteering to make them?

Hmmm...   ...which is worse - the fact that I accidentally had that graphic appearing on every page for a short while? Or, that you were actually reading up on this particular game? :P

I was mostly being facetious and passive aggressive with that remark. We're all volunteers so managing to find a member of staff able and willing to make a quality custom image that could be used on all of the banners was more than I honestly expected, and I love what Raven managed to come up with.

I suppose it might be possible to simply add the category name underneath the image we've already got, but it might look a bit out of place, and I'm not sure something like this is worth the effort of coming up with half a dozen different images to cover all of the different awards.

But if graphics/visual design is something you're good at and you'd be willing to volunteer your time to help spruce things up we can definitely use someone like that on staff. Raven did a great job on that stamp imo but visual design isn't a speciality of his just a hobby. Zekkyou on the other hand does specialise in it, and has come up with some awesome visual designs for the gamedb, but he's too busy to help out right now. It's probably the single biggest gap we have on the staff right now.

Well, yeah - that's kind of what I said I would do with the current image that's displaying. I'm already outputting the year, it wouldn't take all that much to give you a category drop-down and output that information too. And the size of these images aren't really a problem either, as I can control the size during output and shrink them down as needed.

...the only question that truly exists is - which image looks better. Personally, I like the one that were using right now - although this look nice, too. The images could be changed each year, too - they don't have to look one way forever. 

Anyway, I'm going to step out of this discussion and leave it all to you, Machina (art just isn't my thing and I'd rather stick to code) - you tell me which graphic and what you want to display, and I'll see what I can do...
