Hey

Have been looking around but cant really find what im looking for. Just out from a meeting with UX and they've just shown me a nasty 3d carousel that they want to use on the index page of a site i'll be designing. i have told them that its nasty looking and not to go with it but they have asked me to give them some example of sliders that may work in this instance. The one they want to use is similar to this:

Basically, its just going to be a slider, that is just banner image that could involve some text if needed, but it needs to be kinda funky. A little different then the standard banner with circles for navigation. It'll have to restricted to 960px in width.

Ive had a look around and can really find naything thats differ. Here are a few:

Galan Design is a Dallas based web design company, specializing in customized graphics, creative designs, creative illustration, interactive design, award-winning creativity, graphic design and custom designs

Estro - jQuery Ken Burns & swipe effect slider plugin - by pixelentity - Example 1

Nothing amazing though. Anyone got any nice alternatives I could send on.

CoDrops always do interesting things. The trouble is, funky and interesting usually go hand in hand with experimental, so they are not usually suitable for day to day use, and often browser compatibility suffers.

But here's a couple.

Full width, but should be very easy to make 960px.

As I say though, these are the kinda sliders that may not work in IE8 or below, or even IE9, and if they do they will probably be downgraded.
