New logo design contest

[AntonyF]

Hello all,

We're launch a competition to find a new logo for TalkGraphics. This comes because we are now on vBulletin 4, and will be having a new skin soon.

It is open to all, including moderators, and you can enter as many times as you wish.

Here are the main requirements:

• It should work well as a GIF or PNG, in small as well as large. So nothing too 'fussy'.
• It should complement our upcoming skin: http://www.completevb.com/demovb4/support?styleid=5 (please not that while this is the chosen skin, we may still tweak colours and icons of the skin).
• It is best to make something adaptable, i.e. will it work in our forum, but then also (for example) in a newsletter or on a different colour background?
• You agree to assign the copyright to TalkGraphics.com, for all future use as required.

The winners will be shortlisted then a winner chosen by Xara staff members.

There is a $100 prize for the winner - either of a Xara/Magix product, or as store credit for a future product release.

Please just post away in this thread and have fun! If you'd prefer to keep your design private, you can PM it to me for consideration.

(please not that while this is the chosen skin, we may still tweak colours and icons of the skin).

Well then it may no longer be the skin that was voted for! So the point of the poll was what, exactly?

It should complement our upcoming skin

Well yes of course it should, so I really think you should show the tweaked colours and icons before asking for Logo designs as the theme colours are a fairly important logo design consideration.

That skin is seriously garish.

[steve.ledger]

I agree. Perhaps we should have a new Poll to decide if the winning skin is actually used?

[AntonyF]

Sledger, stop whining. No one said the skin would be implemented 100% as is - in fact I even said somewhere that we'd tweak some elements. If you don't want to contribute, don't. So please move on.

Antony, you should be ashamed of how you speak to people on these boards. You set a very poor example indeed, as a moderator and as a representative of Xara.

Another attempt at something as free, spontaneous and infinitely editable as possible.
The background paintstroke is completly vector and editable for colour or shape change to suit.
