Title: Banner & Logo Contest
Post by: butt on August 21, 2012, 11:27:37 AM: We're asking for outside help from the PC gaming community to develop a new banner and logo for 308!

Here is what we are looking for:

1 ) A new header banner:

(*Winner - $25 donation to PBbans in your name.)

Primary colors: red on black (possible secondary colors: orange, yellow, white)
Only use the numbers "308" in the header banner. If someone had some crazy skills and wanted to see what they could come up w/ "Three 'O Eight" written out in some sort of cool font, then would be open to the idea. But our primary thought was just "308". The words "one shot" will not be used in the new banner.

The menu bar, above header will be gone, so do this in whatever size you feel is proportionate to the header area - minus the menu bar. The current size is about 570x 215, but go as big/bold as you want (within reason ). Please do not include background images in your designs (skull and crossbones in current design will not be reused)

2 ) Circle Logo - red "308"

(*Winner - $10 donation to PBbans in your name.)

Prehaps the crosshair from the current header banner, overlaying "308" done in a cool red font? We've always liked the faintness of the reticle/crosshair, and might like that. But, use your imagination! If you can come up w/ a tripped circle logo w/out the crosshair, thats all the better.

Please post circle logo entries at 300 x 300. Thank you.

Circle logo example:

We will accept entries untill Aug. 31

308 members will pick a winner in each catagory. We will make a one time donation to everyones favorite anti-cheat organization, PBbans - in each winners name.
(donations can be made by whatever name you prefer us to use... personal name, IGN, steam or xfire handle, clan name. Whatever works best for you). Dontaions will be made on Sept. 1

Post by: butt on August 31, 2012, 05:33:56 PM: First, want to thank those that took time to submit an entry for our little contest. All the entries were really great. :D

Here are the winners:

308 Circle Logo contest winner - Surfy - $10

308 Banner contest winner - Mr Mechraven - $25

308 Banner contest winner - BENBOBBY - $25

;D CONGRATZ!!! ;D

While this marks the official end of the contest, let me say that i dont want to close the door on anyone that did not get finished on time, or did not hear about the contest till late.

As I posted on the PBbans forum today, If we get additional entries that we can use at a later date on our forum, we will make an additional one time $10 PBbans donation, for a design that is used in whole or in part. We all know that clan websites are always morphing and changing, so I welcome any and all visitors with the desire to add their ideas into the mix, to please do! To me, thats the neet part of this... Getting different people together on something, and see where their imagination and creativity can take an idea, possibly expanding it in a direction we may have never thought possible.

Post by: butt on August 31, 2012, 07:07:08 PM: Actually BENBOBBY, those are magnificent! No other word can cover it... Those are just flippin awsome.

Tell you what.

As I said, I am sorry we wrapped things up before you got yours posted. Yours are clearly the best of the entries we recieved.

Here is what I am going to do:
Next month, we will do another $25 PBbans donation, in your name. We've got our funds set aside for this months donations, but your entries deserve as much acknowledgement and praise as we can muster. Thank you, sincerely.

Post by: BENBOBBY on August 31, 2012, 07:29:11 PM: Thanks ;D

Well I have a habit of leaving things to the last minute and then getting carried away lol. Also the first idea I had was too complex and kept crashing my PC whenever I tried to render so started again lol ::)

Im sure PBBans will appreciate the extra donation anyway, very generous! 8)

Post by: Eric on September 01, 2012, 02:24:18 AM: I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all personally for all the time you spent on this contest.
I have thought quite a bit about the skill it must take to produce these, the only words I can use is "totally awesome"

Although we have picked the winners, I think you are all winners.

So a BIG thank you to:

Spiderpig
PaXHunter
MrMechraven
Surfy
Twiebie
Snitzon
Benbobby

You are now all friends of [308].

Thanks :)

I have added the donations to the PBBans web site, so I am sure PBBans will be thanking you all too.
