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

    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. :)

    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˜

    Never pretended that to be the case, but IMO still better than using the current stretched image (possibly without proper authorization) from: https://technext24.com/2021/04/22/the-new-android-12-app-animations-is-beautiful-but-may-drain-batteries-faster/. This is simply a case where something objectively good is better than nothing at all. There was a contest and no one proposed a banner.

    Instead of turning this into "AI bad" attacks, it would be preferable if you showed us your real art by proposing a beautiful banner for this community :-)

    Yeah, AI can really help with covering gaps. I dig the banner. If something better comes up, then cool, it can be replaced. Until then tho ๐Ÿ˜œ
