pretty nice, what is the background of, though? what level in Halo 2? And did you draw that picture of the Arbiter?
Also, the ESRB logo looks slightly out of place (Too blurry, and has the white borders along the vertical sides)

Here is a template that is smaller, but crisper.

Dec 28 2005, 11:20 PM
hmm...the background is high charity from bungie.net
master chief is a render from bungie .net
arbiter is from google image search

Logos are from a friend

I wonder - is Halo 3 going to be coming out for Xbox, or just Xbox360?

So basically you pasted together 3 images and several logos together in an image editing program?
The quality is nice, however.

Only for the Xbox 360.

Don't worry, I've provided a higher-quality template.

yes, but if you want i can give you a .mix file of the entire template instead ant then u can modify it as you wish.
otherwise, i can upload the Halo banner, but since GIF and JPG can't have transparent background i can give u one with black background and you can "erase by color" or use the magic wand tool (depending on what editing program you have)

PNG also has transparent backgrounds, and they have JPEG-like quaity.

Yeah, it's PNG, cuz JPEG loses information when you save it.
lappy512

PNG, because JPEG is lossy compression (try typing in some words in paint, and then save it as JPEG, it will get blurred), while PNG is lossless, making PNG better for logos and stuff. But, for things like pictures, it blurs anyways, so JPEG should be fine for pictures, and there's no point converting a JPEG into a PNG, because there's no quality change, because JPEG already threw out the info.

But if you kept on saving an image with JPEG, then wouldn't it continue to lose more information? And therefore be better to convert it while you can?

No, because the first time it's saved, it'd already have scrapped the information it can't use, so if it's saved again, it doesn't need to scrap it again.

It doesn't work unless you wanted it to say "Image hosted by tripod."
Apparently, it won't let you hotlink. Maybe you see it correctly because you have it cached.

go directly to where the image is located, and refresh. That will make it work.
Next time, use www.imageshack.us for your images.

Photobucket is superior to imageshack, which is why I use Photobucket.
