WoW Guild banner - Origin

[xXMephistoXx]

Well, here's a banner I made for the guild Origin on WoW. I would just like to have some feedback on how it looks and what could be improved

Here's the requirements that were set for the banner:

The banner(s) must be 800x200 in dimensions and warcraft/wotlk theme. We would like our guild name, server name and horde faction displayed (tho guild name will be good enough). They can be a standard banner, gif or flash, let your Imagination run wild.

And here's the picture:

Any feedback will be +repped and appreciatedd

The Arthas (right) doesn't fit well in it, but it looks good.

For a CnP banner.

Yeah CnP is the way to go for me, since I've never been that good at free-drawing, copying (either manually or just CnP) has always been my thing.. :S

Well, I've made a new version, hope this one's a little better, I at least think it blends a little more, doesn't look that "MSPainty"

And one with some other borders:

Remove the ugly glow from the horde banner and text.
Smooth up the fading between Orc/Hall/Misc thingy/Cyan Thingy/Arthas and dont use too many different colors.
Just keep it simple and it will look good, dont focus too much on effects always.

Is this better?

 

[arthas_king]

that one rocks i like it more than the other 3

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Thanks, man
But what could be improved?

 

[arthas_king]

i think... adding more features at the upper side or adding more lights

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Yeah, but I really don't know what I could put there..?

 

[arthas_king]

Feathers,Blood XD,logs of wood,brown ink lots of good ideas

 

[TheDivineBoss]

I don't think so arthas_king, I think we/he should leave it right as it is now.

I think you should try remove the bevel from the font.
Maybe change the color to white and white only (white text always looks good with special fonts) and change font type on the small text because it is barely readable now.
