Administrators Alex Posted December 7, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 7, 2014 I'm enjoying these little player competitions we've had on the forums. Let's have ourselves a nice holiday logo competition. Much like our Turkey Day competition, we'll have a time period where you can make your submission. That will begin now and run until next Sunday, at which point I'll open up a poll for voting, and on the 21st that poll will close and we'll run the chosen logo for the rest of the year. The rules for submission are: Logo size is 1000px by 150px One submission per player It can be anything holiday theme, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Wintery-themed, you name it. You guys will vote on it and choose, not me. Post your replies with your submission to this thread. Thanks! EDIT: I forgot to mention, I'll award a free alliance-pip to the winner of the competition. That should give some more incentive to compete! ----- Current Submissions The Speaker - Chaos - President Jorji - Regulus - Niklaus - Phiney - 1 Is there a bug?

Caillou Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I will make an effort, I recently started some photo editing stuff.... no promises though. [17:17:58] <&Ashland> I will give you hops if you say this phrase: [17:18:13] <&Ashland> "Man, I really wish Rose had allied BoC a couple months ago when we had the chance instead of picking Vanguard."

Popular Post Aksel Posted December 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Here is what I got. I used the same text from the game itself as I thought straying too far away wouldn't be that great. Since the original logo is missing the "O" I threw in an awesome .png snowflake and added some color/shading/shadow. The color/shading/shadow is also seen on the text, carrying a blue hue. The snowman was the difficult part, he was originally holding a sign which I removed and placed the & in his grasps. His other hand was pointing up originally, but since this is Politics AND War, I figured throwing in a gun would be insanely better. So I moved his arm into position and positioned the gun within his "fingers". I added the blue hue shadow in a bit more places on the snowman and around the gun for a complete look. Also, tried to keep the logo as "holiday neutral" as possible as this game is international and not everyone celebrates Christmas. I tried. lol Edited December 11, 2014 by The Speaker 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone had to do it... These are all fabulous submissions so far! I love how everyone takes a different spin with their designs, we come up with much better material than I create on my own. I'm excited to see what else gets submitted and to see what wins! 1 Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Niklaus Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) I did not change the basic color scheme, keeping some of the original feeling intact and added some custom elements to represent both the holiday and winter spirit along with the various aspects of the game - politics and war.

Phiney Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 That's a nice looking logo! What do you use to make that sort of bevel on the text? Just a hard chisel to with the size quite high to make it sharp in the middle, then I overlayed an image masked by the text and played around with the layer styles to get it looking shiny and with a bit of depth. The snow is a bit shit but I just brushed it on quickly so there you go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
