I thought it might be helpful to have a thread of people who have successfully designed ribbons for campaigns. If you have, add a message possibly with images of the ribbons you have made. I hope the Powers That Be will make this thread sticky so campaign leaders won't have to search far for it.

Those are most of the ones I have done. There might be a couple of others out there, but that should give you a good idea.

What program do you all use to make your ribbons? I am trying to find something better than MS paint to make a ribbon.

the gimp. a free tool takes a bit of getting used to but very powerful.
I make it in 500x200 and then shrink it by 10 to check what it looks like
A great looking ribbon can look lousy in 50x20. Less is more.

Having trouble uploading my campaign ribbon into the campaign page. It is formatted as a GIF and it is 20x50 pixels. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Gary: Is there a way that we can add this thread to all of the Kitmaker Campaign forums as a sticky? I'm not sure how many people will be looking for it here, aside from those who frequent Aeroscale or have found your link (like myslef).
I will only post once in this thread so that I may edit my post as I add more ribbons to my portfolio.
(Armorama) The Forgotten War: Korea 1950-1953
(in progress)
(Armorama) Killer KV's
(in progress)

This has the potential to become confusing with multiple posts from each person.
I miss the edit button....
-The Forgotten War: Korea 1950-1953 (KITMAKER)
-Killer KV's (ARMORAMA)

-Land Down Under (ARMORAMA)

-White Eagle (KITMAKER)
