New website logo Competition.

Part of the sites launch, I am hosting a competition to help make some history. i am going to put the winners miniature as part of our new websites logo

To join
1. create an account on this forum
2. use the forums gallery to upload a picture of your own miniature that you have painted
3. Post a thread in the ICIB Gallery
4. let the votes roll in.

You do not need to build or design the logo. Entries should be in a form of a full body picture of your miniature (upload to the site a compress version of your highres picture to save space in our server).

If your entry is chosen as the winner, i will request a high res picture that will be emailed over to me.

Competition starts from now till the 20th of march.

Winners will be notified on the 21st of march

I've just submitted mine in the spirit of this event. I might even take more pictures of my stuffs.

Can you only post one or multiple miniatures?

I hope we can post multiple miniatures in

p/s: I like the emoticons, cool

Nice! I like the current layout better.

you can post as many as you want. ^^ its a good way to get u all used to this site, and also help build the logo

(secretly cooking my entry for the logo comp...)

Can we know which specific dimensions are suitable for the logo so we can edit appropriately?

Hey alvin i have updated the first post to detail the requirements. Sorry for the lack of details

No worries man, I just wanna know the dimensions so I can make one that fits nicely.

Alright, time to get a painting.

No offense to those that have submitted their entry, but i think we should not use a miniature as the main logo.

My main reason being, most of the submission are 40k based. We are trying to unite different gaming groups together and to put up a logo featuring a dominant 40k image seems to defeat the purpose.

To put up the winning image somewhere in the forum would be sweet but imho the logo of our forum should be more generic.

+1 to yip actually. He have a point.

Maybe should change the nature of competition to something else?

good point yip!

of course this puts us in a rather difficult position.

Shooting models would associate with a specific game system.
Shooting hobby kits (paints, brushes, etc) also associates with specific brands or game companies.
You get my drift...

Soo.. unless we design it from scratch? That leaves only the designers in this forum though.

It's not easy to get something that represents everything as a whole. But for someone like me, I'll just design something simple especially using texts as it is very easy to deal with.

i think there is 1 thing that will unite all gamers of all kinds: DICE!! maybe there can be some design based on that?

or something totally random but well thought out; like the legio logo?

or maybe a coat of arms; like oliver's just wargame logo?

@dann: the winning model of this competition/forum can be used as the banner or something. we can constantly rotate the banner every 3 months or something based on the different different system that we have.

from what i see, the 4 most dominant systems are 40k, wfb, fow and warmahordes. so 3 months for each system to be the banner on top of the page. then we impose the logo onto the banner.

of course, ppl hv to submit pics for all systems for that to work...

we do hv to set boundaries more clearly, otherwise we'd be submitting pics of kittens...

the warmahordes guys can submit for their side. i think alif will be more than happy to help us out on this.

as for FOW, jeff or khairul can set the ball rolling.

yea I support that we could use something generic, who knows paint a really nice tiger tank and it could be our logo for the year
