How to Make a Banner
We welcome your ideas and designs for banners as well as your requests. Put your suggestions, comments or requests in this sticky: Suggestions and Requests
Any cool image can be turned into a clickable link to the Guild by putting this in front of the image code:
[url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?guild_id=6157][img]IMAGE or TINYURL ADDRESS HERE[/img][/url]
Try not to, but if you need a shorter address, you could use the Guild's tinyurl address and put that in front of an image code.address:

For example, putting the above code in front of a picture of Hermione with the Guild's name gives you a clickable banner. I don't favor using tinyurl for the Guild's name, because depending on your browser and Gaia's whims, sometimes a tinyurl address will be posted as code instead of an image. I especially don't like it because it takes you to a warning page, instead of straight to your destination. Click on Hermione and see.

Guidelines for Guild Banners
Any image can become an official Guild banner if you add the Guild name to the image. So you need to put "at Haven" or the word "Haven" or our full name: "Haven for Harry Potter Fanatics." (or even "Haven for Harry Potter Fanatics Guild)." And naturally, for the Guild, we want the image to relate to magic, JKR's Wizarding World and /or characters in it.
A Guild banner, besides being intriguing and eye-catching, also needs to have the Guild name on them in a way that's easy to read. They need to be a workable size for signatures and/or profiles. Sometimes that means making a second smaller size, which could involve some tweaking of the Guild's name placement of your first design. Photobucket, for one, has re-sizing options.
LadyHealingHands or KimCL need to approve any official Guild banners.
Owl (PM) either one of us with your design, and you'll probably also win House points for it. We can also help you with code, re-sizing, fonts and such. In addition, if you design or find clever sets of House icons or images, you can win more points for your House by posting them here: Puzzle of the House icons thread
All Ravenclaw eagles in Banners submitted MUST be a golden or all-one-color eagle. No bald eagles. The white headed and white tailed (bald eagle) is native to America, folks, and would not be used in a Ravenclaw logo. --LHHWe've locked the thread because we need to see your banners before they are posted. Also, we also want to host your banners on the Guild's photobucket account and avoid broken links.
Designing a good banner will bring you House Points!
