As title says above I have recently changed my channels banner and want to know what you think?

I'm not very good when it comes to design so best I could come up with at the moment.

(Ignore the white channel icon as it's bugged out. Should be black :/)

It's...not that great. I'm not good with design either, that's why I dropped a few bucks on a channel banner. I suggest you do the same, at least until you get more practice with photoshop.

Ye might do that. Thought I'd give it ago to at least say I've tried :)

To be honest the banner doesn't fit wel together. You can do 2 things. One is ask someone to make one who is experienced or find yourself a good banner template and edit it to fit your channel better.

Might be best idea thanks. Not a fan of the way YouTube has banners now due to the different sizes depending on which device you view it from.

Thats alrite. I've made a post in the request section so hopefully can get a really nice one compared to mine which shouldn't be too hard :p

Unfortunately, I find this banner a bit bad. But you need some improvement or get a designer for it.

yeah, my advice (while im not great with photoshop) is to maybe try a different font as its quite dull, and look up some tutorials on how to get things to look more interesting, for instance the gradient background makes it look like it was made in 2009 (sorry if it's harsh, I'm just being honest) :)

Think easiest it getting someone who is good at making banners design one for me :p

I don't mind the harsh comment. Better people telling me what they actually think than just lying :)
