They all look great. Don't think I will enter one as all my screens are of Bradley Wiggins and Ryder Hesjedal. I have a few bunch sprints though so I might take a look at one
I just took the screens I liked from the site, no need to take them yourself 
Yehbi guess. I have a really good screen from my Bradley Wiggins story I would like to use and I guess I can find some more from the site but not right now as my power is out due to the floods in QLD and NSW. Hope it's back on soon.

Basically, I took the PCM.daily's favourite cyclist contest winners (integrating the site, eh, bonus points?  )
I've give you bonus points It's a good banner Valv but there is just something about the old one. A new banner would have to blow me away to vote for it.

Thanks for the advices, fcancellara! I've made some changes. Turned down the opacity of the pattern and added some soft light. Didn't help a lot, but it's at least a little bit lighter. I might have a deeper look at that again later. Also fixed some issues with the text. So here is the 2nd version:

Now are the "Y"s and "M"s are different from the current text The only Y in the current banner that looks like the one you've changed in second version is from the "Your... daily". Interesting that in such a short sentence two different types of Y were used.
On valverde's banner, the effects at the background are very nice. But the riders kill it imo. Only Vockler is recognisable for me, and the other two have the same emotion-less face. And the jersey the Radioshack rider (Voigt?) is using, is actually RadioCash
For everyone: if you want to add some riders in highlights, why not do like the current banner and take it from one of the covers of the game? The current one took them from the 08 covers, you could take it either from the 11 cover (then move the polkadots and green jersey closer to Cav so that it fits the 110 px) or, perhaps better, since the 11 cover looks too much like a real picture to be mixed with ingame screens, the PCM10 cover. Cav and Hushovd fighting it out to the line (only in the picture though ), just like the old days

Good idea. Not a fan of any of the banners submitted so far, though, but looking forward to see the final list of submissions
In terms of the "allow more than one submission per member", why not? I wouldn't mind. |

As I'm a designer, I would like to share my creation. Hope you like it
Huge thanks to the people at Focus for the screens!

Definitely like that one.
Though there's a big contrast in color from left to right. |

Yeah, the left one is way darker than the others..
I really like the picture in the center though, with the Eiffel Tower behind
Some nice banners have been made already. I think that replacing the current banner would be good. Especially the left-part of the current banner is very old-fashioned, although I know that some of you like that.

I agree with what people say, the riders, while a good idea, I haven't executed it well enough
I tried to brighten them up a bit with some lighting effects as the colour of the current one is actually great and hard to recreate, but it also created a bit of "ghosting". To counter that, I tried to sharpen the riders as well. That could be changed though. See I was lazy and could easily brighten the individual riders and maybe that would be better.
About the faces, Gilbert is also atleast recognizable for me, would be better without glasses for sure. And I mean, are the current riders really that recognizable?

It could take that away but now you can really can see the difference between the part of the season (pre and mid) because of the coulours |

Honestly lluuiiggii's idea is brilliant! The sprint in the highlight is suely the best thing of the current banner. |

aidanvn13 - Whilst they would make awesome banners, somehow i don't think they would ever be considered |

Made a few changes and came up with this:
Don't know if we are allowed to enter two though or if I can replace the other... |

@Froome It's great. And yeah, CrueTrue said that you can enter multiple banners..

Lots of nice submissions. Great work, everyone!
My personal favourites so far are Sykkel_Freak's and Matt97's.

Just saw this after Pelli's post. Really nice shots!
I would say though make both black lines the same width / shape, because otherwise it decreases the quality IMO. |
