Talk like a Pirate Day Banners

Talk like a Pirate Day is coming up - Friday the 19th (thanks Andrew!) - so I was taken by a sudden urge to design some TLAPD banners. They ended up being a bit darker than envisaged, but anyway. So there you go me hearties and please download them on your own servers, don’t link to them from here.

To view full size: click on the thumbnail (tip: the full size images are draggable and you can open more than one at the same time). To download, right click and “Save as”. And don’t forget to digg this page if you like the designs!

And a few credentials: the “Talk like a Pirate” vocabulary is taken from http://www.yarr.org.uk/talk, where you can find more definitions and clear instructions on how to spice up your talking on the day.

The TLAPD logo used on banner no 3 is not of my design - I’m not sure who did it, but I hope he doesn’t mind I used it for such a good cause.

And thanks to Matt Cutts for the excellent TLAPD fonts post that came in very handy and was the trigger for this insanity.

And here we go:

    PS: you can set your Facebook to English (Pirate) and I like it so much I’m going to keep it that way.
