So sad there is not a lot of time...
I hope there will be exactly logos, not start-up screens, right? ))

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
When is Xtreme 5.0 coming out ? Do you have news or is this just an idea for the contest ?
-
Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
It's just speculation, and as you suggest, an idea for a contest. ;)

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
This is not an entry because it doesn't work as a logo at all - I was just bored :) (I know entry's have to be submitted via e-mail!).

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
Welcome to the Xtreme Conference Mike
96dpi is preferable but I can resample it.

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
Monday is the deadline. So, if you are planning to enter, time is running out.
-
Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
I am late as usual, would this logo be used for the new packaging?
-
Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
Only if Xara really likes one of the designs. Xara has not asked for these designs. It is entirely my own idea for a contest and featured artist show.

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
Yesterday I went to a bar with a piece of paper, and brainstormed for hours. Today the first thing I did when I woke up was to create a Xara version from one of my ideas. I hope you like it!
-
Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
I have received yours and several other excellent entries.
But not as many as I was hoping to receive.
Everyone who has not submitted an entry still has 24 hours to do so. :)
-
Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
I don't know if I am the best at designing logos but I will work on mine today and submit before the end of the day here Arizona time. I think im the same time zone as you Gary.;)
-
Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
I'd be interested to see the top 5...
Will the winner(s) logo be posted here today?
-
Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
All of the entries will be posted on September 1st in the Xara Xone Featured Artist Gallery.
Perhaps we should have a poll and let everyone vote for her and his favorites?
Today is the last day, midnight here in New Mexico. So there is still time to enter.

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
I'm looking forward to see all the logos! I'm always very busy with pending works, but as soon as I saw this I cast everything aside because it's a pleasure to give something back to this community, Xara Xone and the team at Xara.
This really shows the connection people have with everything related with Xara, which is rare to find in other applications.

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
Hello again Gary,
I am also eager to see the competition Logo's.Xara Xtreme has become a very versatile piece of software, and it is good to see how different people use it's varied facets.Maybe some people would get inspiration from the FAA (FineART America) site.Here is one link to a really inspirational artist called Maugdo Vasquez from Guatamala http://fineartamerica.com/featured/t...o-vasquez.html .I think looking at the work of others expands our range.

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
Orion, not quite understood what is connection between logos and the painting ) Sorry.

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
Pryvet alexbozhenov, regarding your question ??? connection with painting and Logo's.The link is basically a link to an artist who has a great ability to portray science, in the form of science related people, symbols and objects. A logo has many forms , maybe a popular theme associated with the company, an object used in a profession or something symbolic that has an associative representation.The site has a myriad of different art forms and great variation in expression of idea's, also an oulet for sales of many graphic artist's work (fineart or Digital art), illustrators and other associated people.It is a good site to find new variations in which to explore and maybe apply in relation to your own work, and vice versa.I am in no way associated with the site apart from having an account myself, and if the link was out of place under this topic , i apologize. I understand that people often hijack forum's with links to other software sites , this is not my intention.
Regards Mike Geraghty

So, here's how the contest will work. Look at each entry. Then vote in the TalkGraphics > Extreme Conference thread for your favorite. Use the number at the top of the page instead of the designers name.
Any questions?
Yes just one. Why did you spell 'Extreme' :confused:
Also - in the truer spirit of a comp like this - the artists name should really not be present or known until there is a result.
What say you Gary??

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
mAYbe I'm juSt tiREd, but I can't find anything that says 'Xtreme Conference'.
I wanted to vote for Design 13 but I don't know how.
-
Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
'Xtreme Conference' being the way Gary refers to the Xara Xtreme forum[s] on TG I guess he will be posting a voting thread here? - I can't see one at present either....
EDIT: removed duplication of point 1 of steve's post #25 - off to get coffee..
-
Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
Yes that's what I was quoting Steve.

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST

Re: Xara Xone Featured Artist LOGO CONTEST
Missed deadline (too busy), but will post here anyway. Something I whipped up quickly.
I always felt Xara's flagship product should have been eponymously named. I recall Charles saying the same thing once, but the somewhat, in my opinion, toy and childish-sounding "Xtreme" was already fixed in the works before it was released as the sequel to the suffixed "X1" in version 2.
