I'm obviously late for the banner contest but I still think this awesome community also deserves an awesome banner ๐Ÿ˜

This is the first time I use Midjourney AI and I'm myself very impressed with the results. I have a paid membership so there should be no issues regarding licensing.

Here's my prompt:

~~Design a captivating 1280x400 banner for an Android community that showcases the vibrant colors of the Google logo in a tile-based background. In the center of the banner, position the official green Android mascot, surrounded by adorable and playful lemmings. Ensure that the overall design promotes a sense of community, excitement, and inclusiveness, inviting Android enthusiasts to join and engage in the community's activities. Let your creativity flow to deliver an eye-catching and memorable visual representation of the Android community's spirit.~~

(yeah it just ignored the lemmings and the tile thing, basically most of the prompt ๐Ÿ™ƒ but the result is still cute)

I can try to have it zoom out even further if necessary.

EDIT:

latest edit using GIMP to the version with the kawaii trees:

Well, the submission is a bit late... but I am pretty bored of the current banner, so if everyone's OK with it then we'll keep running it here until we figure something out.

Update: we are doing it. Contest will now be run until we're all (mostly) happy with a new banner design.

If you don't like the current submissions, feel free to submit your own for a vote. As usual, AI image generators are allowed (we are a tech forum after all), although my personal preference is to have something more... composed. cough ControlNet cough

I'm trying with a better aspect ratio right now

For proposal #4 it decided that the trees needed tiddies.

Yeah, please fix it, don't want realistic tanuki trees right on the banner... here at least. :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Operation tiddy removal is a success (also added the missing eye):

Played around with manual edits using GIMP.

(EDIT: just put a slightly better version)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tried many times and it just won't remove them, guess we have to disqualify this one ๐Ÿ˜”

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I guess they really overtrained on the worldpolitics.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

trees are cute but one of them is missing an eye

I personally find that red android on the left weird ๐Ÿค”

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That could represent the non-standard Androids, like Huawei. :p

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's an Android made from raw beef!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Super meat boy!

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

the android on the left with the red = sign is also weird

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It is beautiful!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Looks quite cool.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Very cute I like it

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow it's your first time using Midjourney? That's pretty good!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

yup, as you can see from my prompt the result has almost nothing to do with it (except the wholesomeness and probably the inclusiveness it took seriously since there are a few androids missing one or two hands ๐Ÿ˜…), but it still produced wholesome banners (modulo small GIMP edits to remove tree tiddies) so I'm definitely not disappointed ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's one of the reasons why I love Midjourney lol... Sometimes it's nothing near what you wanted but it turns out great anyway!
