The Adult Furries Guild Logo Contest!
We're old and wrinkly!
'Ello 'ello, everyone. AFG could use a face lift since the botox injections aren't doing it anymore. We're looking for a new logo to help revitalize our image. Be aware that the name of the guild will be changing back to Adult Furries Guild. Unless you feel you can create a better name, we would prefer the name be Adult Furries Guild.
So what's needed for an entry?
A Guild Logo
- No size requirements
- It can be drawn or otherwise made in traditional media
- It must at least have the guild acronym in it (AFG by default) if it does not have the full name spelled out.
-------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------
After enough entries are made, there will be a vote and contestants will win...
Prizes!
1st Place - One of two mystery boxes! You get to choose the "left" or "right" one. Contents are unknown.
2nd Place - Whichever box 1st place didn't choose.
3rd Place - A Pink Giftbox.
Box contents are a mystery even to me.
-------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------
Guidelines
• There are no limits on the number of entries.
• There are no color scheme requirements, but if you'd like a spring board the original color scheme involved purple hex code: #9300fa
• You can change the name of the guild from Adult Furries Guild in your entry, but please have a good reason for it. This means it can be Abstract Furries Guild, MadMaxx Furries, whatever.
• We want to stand out from the other guilds that use complex artwork as their logos. Please try to have something minimal. Here is a helpful set of links to get some ideas on logos and minimalism:

http://www.logoblog.org/
"OMG, I can't do that!"
Relax, we're not looking for highly paid professional logos here. We'd love it if you could, but that's not expected. We're only looking for something simple. Please don't intentionally copy other logos however.
• Please note that your entry will be modified for use in images as small as 200 x 40 px. The winner, if it is drawn traditionally, will have their entry digitized and I will work with them to create a final image for use in banners and signatures.
Feel free to ask any questions! heart

Pent and Ten I'll give it a shot, but I warn you, the only program my comp has is the basic art one.
It's fine, it's not about super high professional quality ideas, but the ideas themselves. 3nodding You could also draw it out too, if you preferred.
Zuri-kai Ooh, fantastic. I haven't done a logo job in a long time, I've gotten out of practice. I'll post something once I have it (some?) done. :3
Multiple entries are okay! And I can't wait to see what ya' have planned. :3
Northe Even On The Night Of The Apocalypse......
It'll be done in a few hours.
PS5 and Gimp, ftw.
Everybodys an Optimist......
Isn't it redundant to have both at that point? xd
Speaking of which...
---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------
If anyone is interested, here are two links to sites with free alternatives to software you need to purchase like Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. They both handle different kinds of art. If you're not sure what vectors and bitmaps mean, the basic rundown is that bitmaps work with pixels (tiny squares) while vectors work with math (you don't need to know any). Both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Actually, no. You see, they can each only do so much
I run my graphics through a total of seven programs, to assure they'll be ********' epic.

Zuri-kai EDIT: Alright. My first entry is done. (I had some fun with this. ^^) I'm not sure if you want a direct link or an image so I'll just put the img in here for now. If you want it the other way I'll change it. :3
I'm fine with anyone showing the image. 3nodding
I would be worried if it was several thousand pixels by several thousand, but it's not. razz
Pent and Ten Well, I have an idea now, but calling my art skills "limited" is being generous, so i'll just walk you through it. I was thinking using the -sonas of our members (with permission of course) to hold up the letters of our name, each -sona gets one (maybe two). The only issue is we'd either have to do the whole name (which is big and we only have so many members) or the annigram and only two members (which I feel isn't enough).
Not to dash your idea, but you'd also have to pick who'd be included and some may feel excluded. You also have people who may not stay with the guild in a month or two.
I'd recommend keeping them generic rather than as specific people to help make sure the logo will work for a longer period of time. Otherwise, it's not a bad idea.
Northe Even On The Night Of The Apocalypse......

I'm pretty sure anything gimp can do you can do in photoshop, but I could be wrong. sweatdrop
Though programs like Corel (and Sai, I think?) are a different story. Those try to imitate tradition media so they're very different from photoshop. |

Yeah, sorry but Gimp and Photoshop are incomparable. GImp is at best 2/10ths of what Photoshop CS[x] is. Believe you me. I tried gimp back when I didn't have access to PS...let's just say that computer was lucky it belonged to the school or it'd be history.
True here though. Corel, SAI and OpenCanvas all try to imitate traditional media. Though in some regards I think SAI can get pretty close, as it has vector, as well as raster capabilites, and may of the tools are similar in function, differing only in how you control their settings. (I'm still working out a lot of the finer points of SAI).
As for the logo images, that's good. I always design my images at at least 2000 x 2000 pixels, but I shrunk this one down for posting it here. sweatdrop |
