Ask your affiliates if it is acceptable. Some of them are fine with it. In fact, I would make a couple banners myself and pitch them to your affiliates. You might get them to use them and give you a little financial compensation for your efforts. The least you can do is be told not to use your banners. I don't work with an affiliate manager that isn't okay with you marketing what they offer however you see fit. After all, they hope you know your visitors better than they do. If you make a decision or change something, they normally back you up. Shame on an affiliate program that won't back you up.
