Favorite Banner?

Postby Tykadoro » Sat Feb 18, 2017 10:29 am

Out of the multitude of banners in NationStates, which one is your favorite?

All of them look beautiful, but my favorite is (looks up name because I can't remember what it was called) The Worlds Above Us. You obtain it by "Reaching for the stars," AKA going to space.

Image

If you feel like posting your favorite banner, follow these steps:
1. Go to the "Banners" page, which you'll find on your main nation page. (roll over the banner you currently have, and select "Choose Banners")
2. Find the banner of your choice.
3. Right click the banner, and select "Open Image in New Tab."
4. Copy the URL of the new tab.
5. In forum, use the "img" option, insert your URL, and the banner will be in your post! To ensure it worked correctly, select "Preview."

Not a huge fan of the classification, but the banner is amazing.

Ocean Nova, the one you get for a world-class environment.

I also like There Will Be Sacrifices and Out There.

Do not mistake me for a contributor to your political threads. I have come solely to mock.

Personally, my favorite banner is the On the Water one. You get it by "Prioritizing the environment over the economy", aka sacrifice GDP for trees. That's my ideology!

Personally I like Celestial Colour, partly because of the unique way of obtaining it.

The primary banner I actually use is Vaults of Knowledge, which is obtained by "developing a thriving publishing industry." I must have gotten it a while back, because my Book Publishing industry is the top 90%. :roll: While it is a little plain, I am a bookworm, so I just had to have it!

It was an issue you answered today that caused your publishing industry to drop to zero, probably the one where you gave kids free laptops.

The OP method of linking the full banner only shows you the sample banner, so here's the updated version.

There's a lot of really good ones, tough to pick just one.

Out of the ones I have unlocked (throughout all my nations), I really like:

Air and Glass, which looks like a lobby to a very nice hotel. It's probably just a 3D render, though.

I prefer Between God and Rock. There's something pleasing about a castle on the one side, and open sky on the other.

My personal favorite custom banner, however, is a bit of concept art from Ender's Game movie. It's quite out there.

There are a lot of banners in Nationstates that I like, but if I had to choose I would say

Nice part of the town, since it reminds of the time I used to walk around the snowy parts of Slobozia at night.

And

Image

Windswept. This one I can't explain, it's mostly the ambiance that does the job for me.

Tranquility, Icy Gaze, and On the Water.....those beautiful villages.

Also shout-out to Platform for Expansion. It turns an oil rig into something a bit more amazing, it reminds me of an amusement park/nightclub/yacht. The sunset helps as well.

Oh, I never realized it was an oil rig. I thought it was a cruise ship.

Ikr it's like way too bright to be an oil rig, I could in fact see it being a ferry.

The banner name and chimneys do kind of give it away though.

Anyways, Aspire and Father Knows Best are pretty nice.

I've been trying to find the real life location for the Aspire banner. Apparently it's in Singapore?
