I added a glow and shadow false bevel effect instead, to make the text appear to be embossed into the parchment as if it was stamped there.

I'm there :)

I can't afford any more time myself, but I will be around cheering everyone else on ;)

Trying out the first nearly finished test banner:

There's a Spatial Matrix effect on the banner text that makes it appear embossed. I think the effect may depend on how large the exported map is, since it is nowhere near as visible here as it is in the FCW.

Thank you :)

I've done a bit more - a few ideas.

Hi Everyone :)

I was discussing various ideas with another member of the team when the subject of banners came up - how we don't seem to have very many.

I decided to make some for us.

As you know, there are many different types of banner and many different styles. I won't smother you here with lots of examples that are not my own work, but I've made a start with the biggest ones - the title banners. Shown here as a screen shot of the work in Affinity Designer (like PS Illustrator but not as expensive). I would be interested to know what you think.

The file here is representative of the standard 1000 x 800 map unit template, so this is the size the banners will appear to be in a standard overland map.
