Misleading banners...?
 

I have a sponsor that uses fake scroll bars and "play" icons and text on their banners. Would these be considered misleading? If so, could I use some text below the banner to make them OK...like "clicking on the banner takes you to...."

Here's some examples:

I have no problem with it, at least that one clearly looks like a banner

No problem here

Should be fine

The only problem I could see would be the bottom banner on a page with the same color background.

I think as long as they were positioned in a way that they were obvious banners then shouldnt be an issue

Thanks all, and I'll watch the background...thanks for pointing that out, GG.

No problem - it's my job to be the asshole & find fault in EVERYTHING :D
