Art Competition

[Xenn]

That's right! It's a logo contest! Create us a logo and submit it here, the author of the best one gets a moderator position for the art forums (if he/she wants it) and the runner-up gets a custom title/rank! There are basically no rules, just keep it inside the frame boundaries and try to make it easily readable (it must say Zelaron). Nothing offensive!

You can make a logo for either the homepage or the forums.

Here is the frame for the homepage:

http://www.zelaron.com/forums/attachment.php?postid=2806


You can see the forums one in the topleft corner of every page on the forums.

Also, this contest is ending on March 1st, tallying with the end of our moderator activity check.

Good luck, and if you have any questions you can private message me, contact me on aim (XennXI) or email me.

UPDATE: Now ends March 3rd.

UPDATE: Now ends March 10th. Final Date

[King Kai 3]

im getting that red x for the picture. I try to copy and paste the link to the picture and i get this...

1. You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.

2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Hey all you have to do is rightclick the picture above and save it to disk. The example pic is on the front page at the top.

Ans--

[ZERONX]

hmm i think im going to try this even though i dont really want to get anything out f this

[King Kai 3]

well because i cant save the picture and cant see it (i think i know which one your talking about though...) can someone just tell me what size the image should be.

[tacoX]

Just try to refresh the page a few times and clear your cookies

[King Kai 3]

ok well im still kinda clueless to the guidelines of this competition...i refreshed cache and cookies im clueless to why im not able to see the image at the top. anyway i am bored anyway so is this image even close to the type of thing your looking for? if not what size should the image be and what type. i kinda made this like i would make a signiture...once i find out more ill work on a better one.

[tacoX]

Well, I like king kia's! Its pretty fucking cool! Although, you have to make it fit the format above...

[King Kai 3]

so it must be 512x125? ...as soon as i find out ill start :p

[tacoX]

No! It must fit in the template Xenn made!

[King Kai 3]

heh thats exatly my problem.i cant see the template xenn posted. it shows up as a red x.

can you maybe repost it linked to a diff ftp?

ive tried a lot to try to make it so i can see the template.

thanks in advance

[Xenn]

[King Kai 3]

EXCELLENT WORK! the 2nd 1 is awesum!!! great great work

[Grav]

The second one looks it got ran over. o_O

I'd stick with the first one.

[answer763]

Man these people do better work in 5 minutes than I do in 5 days... I think I'm out of the running.

[Chruser]

Hmm, it would need some fixes, cause the frame itself got messed up, but I'd do that in no time.

Besides, why is Xenn getting all the credits for that frame now? I was the guy who spent all the time on making that transparency ;)

[WetWired]

I prefer the first one (the one by King Kai 3 with the frame and letters with shadow, to be specific)

Personal preference

[Chruser]

Here's my 5 minute entry (well, maybe 10 :p).

[WetWired]

You're kidding, right?

I don't know that anyone would take us seriously with a logo like that.:p

[Chruser]

Kidding about what? :\

If I'm going to be blunt..

Unimpressive.

Use nicer color matches.

[Chruser]

More crap:

OMFG...EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[Chruser]

My candy logo owns you all :)

[King Kai 3]

here...with the border fixed:

http://kingkai6.netfirms.com/zelaron5.gif

anything else you think needs work? i do have these on *.psd files with a lotta layers so everything is easily fixable (and changable). im going to do a lil more work on it today if i get the time.

[Chruser]

Remember that you can make a logo for the forums too. The ones you're all making is just for the site itself (http://www.zelaron.com).

[King Kai 3]

whats the format for the graphic for the forum? image size, ect?

264 x 105?

http://kingkai6.netfirms.com/zelaron6.gif

^ working on this one but im about to give up :/
maybe ill get some ideas tommarow.

[Chruser]

http://www.zelaron.com/forums/images/tselaron.gif
That's a decent height. A plus would be if you doesn't make it any wider than 800 pixels, and add a possibility so I can remove the white line. If I would do it right now, the logo would look "cut off".

[Xenn]

I'm going to extend the competition until March 3rd, since nobody noticed it was here for like 2 days :)

[Chruser]

Sounds good to me :)
Don't we have any more designers here?

[tacoX]

this is looking great! We need more of a... cooler background! Not jsut a patturn!

[tacoX]

Also some more 'text affects'

[King Kai 3]

here is something i came up for for the forums.

http://kingkai6.netfirms.com/forum.gif

edit: lightning one with font change :/

http://kingkai6.netfirms.com/zelaron7.gif

edit: backround change

http://kingkai6.netfirms.com/zelaron8.gif


also tell me the plugin you used to do the font on the graphic now and ill use it in this. I try to stay away from plugins so i have no clue which you used for that :/ I know that eye-candy was used for the smoke tho :/

[King Kai 3]

whats happening with the art completition anyway? or did you decide to stay with what we got? its march 7th and im just a lil curious :p

[GameCube]

i like the lightning one best

[ZERONX]

i think the one we have now is best there should be a vote for best ones

[GameCube]

yeah, good idea

[Xenn]

Oops I guess I got lazy.. well I'm gonna extend it (again) to March 10 so everyone has a chance to make a nice forum logo.

But I swear I'll (try to) end it on March 10.

Btw about voting - we could do a poll?

[ZERONX]

nice avi:) but i think poll so everyone can give there thoughts

[King Kai 3]

i think we should just have a poll whenever :p is anyone else working on a title?

[Chruser]

Why do you call it "avi" anyway? It's called "avatar" :)

[ZERONX]

Because avi isshort for avatar :P and thats geek talk :P

[Xenn]

Well it's March 10 and luckily I got reminded about this thread.. so we'll be doing a poll soon to determine the winner.

[Chruser]

Tick, tock clock.
