+Fates 63 Posted June 13, 2005 We at CombatAce.com are looking for a logo design to brand the website. The logo must be flexible enough to be made into CombatACE or CombatACE.com. Size and Color are up to the designer. Any background used in the logo should be interchangable to a different theme, ie. Naval Sims, Flight Sims, Tactical Sims, etc... We are simply looking to see what you can imagine as our minds have emptied all their imaginative juices at the moment. You may submit as many entries as you wish. The contest will run thru July 15, 2005 GMT. Prize? Well we thought that someone might enjoy a new Saitek Gamers Keyboard for their effort. The logo may be used in part or in whole. We are merely looking for ideas, and what better group of people to ask then those that come here all the time. The image(s) should be uploaded directly to this forums and should be no larger then 800x600. This does not mean that the actual logo could not be bigger, just that it helps in the ease of viewing all the logo designs. I know that there are some talented graphics people out there, but there are also many out there that may have an idea of what they would like, but struggle putting it into a paint program.. Don't be afraid. It's the idea that we seek. So, even though you may not be a graphical guru, simply cut and past a few things together and let us see what your idea is. We will judge the image based on your concept of what you would like to see, and not for it's technical correctness. One more thing.....no more than a six pack can be consumed during design without the presence of the CombatACE staff..... j/k. Good Luck Everyone!

Sgt_IC 0 Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Spent quite a bit of time on this, I tried to theme it with LOMAC/FC and upcoming BF2. Also trying to maintain the green border on the original. .PSD handy. Good Luck. IC EDIT: Will do a logo of the sort too as I seem to have been mislead. Edited June 16, 2005 by Sgt_IC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Deuces 0 Posted June 15, 2005 Fates, quick question. Are you guys looking for a logo or a header image ...seems to be some confussion....possibly only on my part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Fates 63 Posted June 15, 2005 We are looking for a logo design to brand the website. A complete header image is fine, but the judging will be on the logo design. This is a little vague becuase there may be other atributes that effect judgement. For instance, how well will the LOGO work on a t-shirt? mousepad? header background? monthly image calendars? Does it have the flexibility to be used in many places. How inner-changeable is it when used with different headers? Can we change up the theme on the header image from flightsims to tacsims and still incorporate the core logo design into it? I thought about posting some of what we've done as staff, but I don't want to influence anyone in their creativity....becuase it may influence it in a direction that we don't want.... This is why we are bringing this contest to you. Hope that answers a few things. Fates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+kout 11 Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) My effort for a banner (I know, I know, it's not a logo. Will work on that ): I suspect it won't work for a t-shirt; although, maybe on a black t-shirt <_< EDIT: Edited June 16, 2005 by kout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
