New Apolyton banner
http://www.apolyton.com/forums/showt...threadid=83271

There have been several requests now to feature the Iraqi information minister on an Apolyton banner.

I thought that this was an excellent idea, and I would like to hear what Markos thinks of this.

Do I hear any seconders?

I saw it mentioned in that thread as well...

I think Markos needs to see some "examples" just how good he might be for selling products

Very nice, Zopperoni. I like the Khaki background. It has a sort of combined Desert+Civ look to it.

Great banner, Zopperoni.

The height restriction of a web banner would make it impossible to depict him with a readable version of the T-shirt, but here he his in full glory:

And what is about Clinton's banner? For example Monica saying "His words are backed with spe... special weapons" or "His weapon works spermanently"

If you use the info minister you should have something about 'Poly's $1,000,000 turnover last year.

Brilliant, Zop!

Markos,
How come Zop's ad doesn't show up on the ads overview page (http://apolyton.net/forums/misc.php?action=support)?

I saw it as a banner (while logged out), so it's definitely in roulation, but I didn't see it on the ads page (which is the best way for me to see the ads ).

Edit: just noticed the overview page is missing other ads too, at least a GalCiv one - what other kinds of cool ads am I missing out on?

it could be the regional advertisement thing. Americans get one set of ads and everyone else gets a different set IIRC.
