Banner Ad Design Brief

LinMin (www.LinMin.com) provides software that helps customers quickly deploy computers (servers) in data centers.

We want a family of banners with a single design/theme, preferably animated gif, in various sizes:
- 728x90 (Max. file size 40K)
- 300x250 (Max. file size 40K)
- 160x600 (Max. file size 40K)
- 336x280 (Max. file size 40K)
- 120x60 (Max. file size 20K)
-125x125 ((Max. file size 20K)

Peelback Ads: Two graphic files are needed.
• 125x125 pixels for the “collapsed” image (to entice users to click on it, so see the expanded image)
• 500x500 pixels for the “expanded” image.
Graphics for Peelback Ads need to be gif, jpg or swf combined file size 70K.

We do not want FLASH.

Ads have been displayed in www.webhostingtalk.com, www.datacenterjournal.com, www.driverpacks.net

Please refer to attached IAB-iNET_Creative_Technical_Specifications_2015-1-29.doc to see IAB file size standards in the US.

Depending on the success of this initial theme, we may want to have a second design/theme implemented.

Our audience is highly technical (data center engineers & managers, system administrators). Their environment is data centers.

The benefits derived from using our product (LinMin Bare Metal Provisioning) are savings in time (labor), increase in consistency from system to system, leverage (when 1 system works as wanted, deploy the operating system and applications to other systems), quality, etc.

What our customers deploy on their systems are operating systems including Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu), Windows (Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 10) as well as hypervisors such as VMware ESXi and KVM.

The final design should communicate the benefits (noted above) to be derived as well as the operating systems and hypervisors (noted above) they can deploy. The terms "Data Center" and "Bare Metal Provisioning" need to be referenced.

NOTE: the banners must display our URL www.LinMin.com

Attached are existing banners that we use. Please BE CREATIVE and don't feel the need to make only minor modifications to existing banners. We want to stand out while looking very professional.

The first 4 are the most current ones, and the value proposition in the text of the banners is still valid. However these banners are not automated gifs.
File 1: LinMin_Banner_300x250_DeployOS_1
File 2: LinMin_Banner_300x250_DeployOS_2
File 3: LinMin_Banner_728x90_DeployOS_1
File 4: LinMin_Banner_728x90_DeployOS_2

The next 2 are much older, less visually appealing but are animated and eye-catching:
File 5: LinMin_Banner_TimeIsMoney_2009-11-20_160x600
File 6: LinMin_Banner_160x600_ByNoon_2009-11-15

Some logos were added as well.
