Title: Calling all Graphics Gurus - CAOS Logo Competition
Post by: Tyler on 2005-03-14T13:53:40-06:00 (Monday)
Calling all graphics gurus!!!

We need an official CAOS logo for use on the flyers, on the forum, on thefacebook, etc.  So, we are going to have a small contest.

Create your best logo(s) (multiple submissions are fine, too), and email what you have (please a reasonable size at least for email purposes--no 5mb graphics in my email) to tyler[at]antifusion[dot].com.  Make sure they're in a common format for me to see (png, jpg, etc).

We may or may not have a poll for this (ballot stuffing problems), but assuming we get a good one, the winner will receive a free unofficial CAOS tshirt (see the CAOS tshirt thread).

Deadline---Sunday, March 20th, 12 Midnight

Let the competition begin!!!

Submission deadline?
(Because you know nobody's even going to try to make one until the night before ;-))

*hides in shame while making a public post pointing out own blunder*

It appears I need to stop reading the CAOS forum when I should be sleeping.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to submit under that deadline, too much going on.

Good luck to the contenders, and may the best bits win.

Well, I took a stab at it anyway.

*waits to see if he'll win by default*

Well, we had 2 submissions, which I don't think is a good enough variety to choose from.

So I'll keep the contest open, and as soon as a really good one is received, the contest will have a winner.

I should probably resent that.

I just mean that I don't think 2 submissions is enough of a variety to make a good decision.

Ok, we have 3 submissions so far.  As soon as I get three more (6 total) we'll have the poll.  

Don't forget the winner gets a free unofficial CAOS tshirt!!!

I'm still waiting on the 6th and final entry.  The first person to get in their logo will be the last to get into the contest.  I will run a poll as soon as I get the next one.  

Remember, there's a free unofficial CAOS tshirt at stake for the winner.  Not to mention the self pride from having your logo displayed on the multitudes of CAOS flyers we put up.

I have received 6 submissions.  The contest is now over, and a poll will be posted very soon to determine the winner.

Congrats to Jonathan Birch for designing the winning CAOS Logo. Look for it coming soon on flyers and the website.

Does someone have a copy of the winning logo? Would it look good in the upper right of this forum?

I have an idea for this site's CAOS logo. As a pun on the similar sounding term "chaos" (chaos is all about probability and randomness), it would be neat to have a slowly turning animated gif of a die (3D perspective) with the letters C, A, O, and S overlaid on the four alternating sides. I know that making such animated gifs can be done in GIMP but I don't really have the time to figure out how to do it. Maybe I can get some of the aspiring graphical artists on this forum to contribute???

I have the winning logo somewhere on my computer if you want me to post it.

If is has a transparent background and is of the right dimensions and fits the color scheme well (or can be modified to fit these qualifications), I will put it in place of the gif that is currently in the upper right.

Please do post it so I can attempt to use it.
