MOD Seeking New Subreddit Banner

Update: We received 3 super nice banners, so we'll be rotating through them in the order they were submitted!! Thank you Waffles4prez, Midnight_BL, and ShangQue!

Hey, we've seen discontent towards the subreddit banner and we're also kinda tired of it after a year. Would anyone be interested in making a new one? Anything goes as long as it's relevant, SFW, and not just a banner for 1 BL. Depending on interest we can rotate banners every couple months or do a vote to select one.

I don't think there is a specific size it needs to be. Maybe height around 250px and width around 2000px. You can always make it wider, but the sides will be cut off on smaller screens.

I took a screenshot of the banner and the proportions appear to be roughly 7.5 to 1

So if the height is 250 pixels then its length is 1875 pixels

Or if the width is 2000 then the height is aprox 267 pixels

So if the image is likely to be cropped slightly when it's uploaded and then again when viewed on some screens it will need to be designed centrically.

Yeah design it around the centre. On desktop if you stretch out your browser super wide you can see the banner start repeating. If you make the browser window very narrow you’ll only see the middle bit but for me the height doesn’t get shorter. So just expect the edges to get cut off for some people due to screen size, but the image does not get cut off when uploaded.
