Title: EZ Server Logo Contest
Post by: Akkadius on May 06, 2014, 11:24:02 pm
As you can see above, we have this nice new dynamic image banner, but NO EZ logo!

The Winner: 150 EZ Credits

I know there was a fancy landing page back in the day with an EZ Server Logo, but all of that got hairy and I'm not even going to try using it again even though it was pretty neat.

Criteria: There is no strict criteria, make it simple, make it pop, make it feel like EZ. I'm interested to see what you all come up with. Do make sure it is a logo and not a banner, needs a transparent background. Create it in high enough resolution that it can be sized down and used for many different things if need be.

Final Date: Friday, May 16th

Go!

Forums get their share of all the team's hard work, looking nicer and nicer :)

I really liked the idea of keeping Hunter's memory alive through the life of the server.

(Someone hinted at the possibility of adding a NPC, i liked the idea, and still like it.)

Why not start with the logo ?

More a sketch to show the idea than a high rez result atm

If someone more skilled in this kind of things want to draw it, recompose it in a more accurate way, or even go further with the idea ... feel free to go, pm me if you want some info (typo names, etc ...)

Anyone got a screenshot of Hunters character?

Might do something, but I would surely need that.

Just a few thoughts / ideas on a simple logo, one from Duluum's idea, could have Hunters Char in it, but dont have one (

Cool submission, I like the approach with greening out 'EZ'.

Exciting to see what folks are coming up with

Or we can go black on the second set, as Rolls Royce did when Sir Henry Royce died.

For first set, i'll have to lighten the background for readability.


Edit : (just mythbusted myself)
"In fact the reason was less romantic and based on an aesthetic decision which was that black would be more in keeping with the saloon body colours of the car. Royce always participated in any decision making and it was a coincidence that he died the same year as the colour change."

But we, could be romantic, couldn't we ?

Just another revision, i like the idea of having Hunters name, so did this, wording can be changed, just see what your thoughts are =)

Edit
Just a couple more variations on the same theme


Title: Re: EZ Server Logo Contest
Post by: Akkadius on May 11, 2014, 04:01:17 pm
Though I think Hunter should definitely be honored and respected because obviously this has been his sandbox forever, I don't think stuffing his name in the logo really makes a whole lot of sense.

Anyone who knows Hunter will know that this was his server for the longest time. Those who are new to the server will have no idea what 'Hunter's' means from strictly a logo.

I still plan on putting an NPC in game that will represent him in the Nexus. That way he will always 'feel 'like he is with us in 'body' (NPC) and spirit. This would allow us to express his personality and presence.

Please keep the logo simple to 'EZ Server', no crazy acronym extensions.

Thanks!

Not as good at this as I used to be, but here is the idea I had... probably 2 busy to use as a logo... but if you want the full size version for a banner or whatever let me know.  All my attempts at having Hate wield a wrench instead of a staff were fail... and no good images of a troll crawling out from under a bridge for Fugi :)

I thought I would participate in making a logo, but it looks more like fan art. I'll likely color it but I have to figure out what will load in dark enough when I scan it to my computer. :)

There have been many good entries, and as I anticipated it wouldn't be easy to judge them.

Since I'm back from traveling and no longer getting plastered every night, I have now had time to go through the entries and judge the winner of this contest.

There are a few that I liked, two that I spent a while tossing around but for the simplicity of the logo the below from RedDwarf, winner of the 150 EZ Credit

(http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4273.0;attach=895;image)

Now, before you go 'Beyonce had the best video of all time on me', I would also like to announce that we had a very good second dice for the pickings.

(https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/2631281664/h462EA85A/)

We also very much liked the entry below and they will get a runner up of 50 EZ credits.

(http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4273.0;attach=954;image)

For everyone else.

Thank you for your time and dedication into this contest and please do not take offense as there were many great entries.
