Details
I started by doing the generic banners and I tried to bring some variety using different themes for the banner. Personally I felt that a glowing version will look good and is more likely to attract attention - so I decided to make some glowing variations.
Variations :
- White - Gradient - Normal (Flat)
- White - Gradient - Glow
- Black - Gradient - Normal (Flat)
- Black - Gradient - Glow
The gradient was made using Utopian main colors :
- Blue : # 4b7dc0ff
- Purple : # 9d3393ff
Variations :
For dividers I also made 2 version :
- Normal (Flat)
- Glowing
And I made custom ones for each Banner including Logo , Utopy and Utopian-IO:
- Logo
- Utopy
- Utopian-IO
- Utopian Weekly
- Utopian Magazine
- Utopian Update
- People Of Utopian
- Open Source Radio Show

Proof of authorship
Banners were made over a gradient background using Utopian main colors.
On the main background I started adding some basic lines on the edge - because I knew in the center I would put the text. After that I added some simple geometric forms : square, circle, triangle and added the main holder for text and Utopian Logo. At end I added a 2% blur to most shapes and it was done.

Because divisors will be used in Utopian posts, I have made them .png taking advantage of transparency. Divisors were made inside a transparent rectangle of 800x50 pixels using the same basic lines.
