I voted #4, reason being it shows a selection of vehicles from throughout the whole range....... not just the expensive ones (that I can't afford LOL). All good entries though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grin.gif)

Best of luck to all who entered.

I think you could have a logo copyright issue with entries 1, 4 and 5

We had to remove the i30 logo from our club forum and were not allowed to reproduce other text with the same font.

As a graphic designer (I wish I knew about the contest in time to participate....):

I agree that having the Hyundai logo may bring up a legal issue...

I also don't see why show OLDER MODELS on the banner, like the currently popular #4 is showing..... The new GORGEOUS Sonata is already being introduced, and this old (excuse me, but it's also UGLY) Santa Fe?

#3 is the nicer of them all, exposing the newer, luxury line of Hyundai and the safest, legally.

We were counting on you mama, and there was a pinned announcement in the Sonata forum for months.

If management has no problem with the Hyundai Logo, I go for #1 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/trophy.gif)

Voted #3

I find that #3 is the most unique out of all 5 and seeing as it does not have the Hyundai logo (even tho this is a Hyundai enthusiasts forum) I can't see any copyright issues arising.

Plus I think the whole bar-code thing represents a lot about modding and buying Hyundai vehicles.

gogo #3!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/trophy.gif)

I vote to keep the current banner! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/harhar.gif) (Who made it?)

I like the current color scheme on the forums and I get the feeling a new banner would = new color scheme.

I'm surprised nobody made a 'green'-looking banner. You know, the ads with tons of white and green in it with sans

serif font and the like... I just don't like the dark color schemes on these banners and ditto above on the ugly... I mean 'older' cars in #4.

I'd probably have voted for that one though...(4)

We will worry about the copyright issues. So far our company has had no issues with using logos on our sites. Generally companies don't mind as long as you are not bashing them or misrepresenting yourself as if you are a representative of the company. I like #4 too!

#4 by far. As Mr. Pogle mentioned, it has a wider variety of Hyundai vehicles and just flat out looks the most polished.

So what? Wouldn't it also be a legal issue for us to post any pictures of our cars which display the Hyundai logo as well (the front and rear badges), since they are "likenesses of the Hyundai Corp logo"?
I really don't think Hyundai's going to care that much, and if they do, they're only wasting their time.

I like #4, It's got a good variety of vehicles in it, including the accent hatch!

Also, the colouring of this banner will work well with the current colour scheme of the forums!

There's a HUGE difference between showing a car, and showing a logo.... Legally, when you show the logo as part of the site's banner, it implies the car maker having a stake in that web site. I'm no lawyer, but having years of experience with graphics and copyright issues, I can tell you it may create a problem.

Besides, creating a brand new look, using OLD models is -- excuse my French -- just plain DUMB.... Especially when Hyundai is going thru SUCH HUGE AND DRAMATIC design changes.... Just as the current banner shows a concept car, it would make more sense to use graphics that show the FUTURE, maybe a typical line of design taken from the new Sonata, or the Genesis...

They cared enough to issue a takedown notice as soon as our forum opened up to the public.

I don't think this has been discussed yet, but I voted #4. The rest (perhaps not #5) reminded me a lot of race-performance forums.

Yes, and I suggest you take this member's words seriously. The only way a logo can appear in this kind of a forum, is when an AD is displayed, like an AUTHORIZED Hyundai dealer is advertising his products.
