Describe the target audience for your ad banner design

We have a global audience, but most of our players are young - approximately 10 to 16 years old, and are into video games.

What 3 things would you like to communicate to your audience through your ad banner design?

Fun. Excitement. Community.

How is your company different from your competitors?

Simplicity. We make everything as simple as possible. If a 10 year old can't figure out how to play something within 60 seconds, we've failed.

What ad banner design styles do you like?

It should be simple, but it should be catchy at the same time. It should draw the person's eye to it, but it shouldn't be gaudy.

What colors do you want to see in your ad banner design?

No requirement.

What colors do you NOT want to see in your ad banner design?

No requirement.

What adjectives should best describe your ad banner design?

Fun, exciting, friendly

What content must be included in the ad banner design?

The address of the server: mc-sabotage.com
The name of our company: McPVP (note, please don't use McPVP.com - it can be confused with the server address)

Do you have additional requirements or links you'd like to share?

Brief updates

31-Dec-12 6:58 a.m. GMT
The address of the server, e.g., mc-sabotage.com, should be the main focus of the banner. A potential player should be able to glance at the banner and immediately know the server address without having to look for it.

Please DO NOT use the copyrighted Minecraft Logo in your design. Furthermore, the artsy characters you see everyone using are from our CTF servers, and have absolutely nothing to do with the Sabotage servers this AD is being designed for. I'm not going to disqualify anyone for using them, since I do own the artwork, but I am going to greatly prefer banners that do not use them. I explicitly did not post these images for everyone to use on the project for the singular fact that I didn't want everyone using them!
