Hello Fanatics!

The staff at CFC, with special thanks to Firaxis, are pleased to announce a contest to create new CFC banners. The winner(s) will receive a key for the Civilization VII Founder's edition (sponsored by Firaxis). Staff would like to update the banners to a Civ 7 theme, as the current banners still reflect Civ 5. Here are examples of the current banners, which are different based on the CFC forum style:

Darker Theme:

Lighter Theme:

All submissions will be judged by CFC staff. The contest winner will be the entry chosen as the new banner(s). We will accept submissions for both dark and light themes, so it is possible that two keys could be awarded in this contest for dark and light-style banners. (However, only one key per member) Please note that if no entry is chosen as the new banner, then no key will be awarded.

Please submit your entry(ies) via PM to @contest_entries until January 31, at which this competition will be closed. At February 3 we will announce the winner of the story competition and will distribute the key.

You can also enter the story contest here or the modder raffle here.

Sorry, my bad, the images were attached in the moderators forum. This has now been fixed.

It should be possible to fit a banner on a screen with a width of 1920, so it should be slightly narrower than this. It doesn't have to be that wide, if it can be extended with a solid colour (see the Civ5 banner).
All current banners have roughly a height of 200-250 pixels, and it would be good to aim for roughly around that.
 
Could we submit both a dark and light theme version, or should we only do one or the other?
 
In principle both are independent of each other, so you can submit one or both. You can win only 1 founder edition though, and not 2 in case you would win for both. You increase your chances though ;).
 
Do you think you could convince Firaxis to make the font that they use for Civ VII available to us?

Can we use material drawn from their trailers, etc, without their regarding it as violating copyright?
 
A REMINDER:

I'll say give it a try.
This would not prevent you from winning. Everything else we can, if necessary, check later with Firaxis.
here you go
May I ask how you figured out which fonts they used?
 
Here's my entry. I can make a marble texture background to replace the Parchment so it matches the header as well.
I made a quick HTML edit preview of what it looks like with the current light theme as well.
