Hey folks,

The site is moving forward and merchandise is getting ready to be made, and as much as we all enjoy the Planet-Kosmos font logo we have right now, the fact of the matter is, it's just not cutting the mustard in an easily legible logo. When shrunken down it looks like an incoherent blog, and that's no good for t-shirts, mugs, decals, and other assorted goodness that could be coming to a TGH Merch Shop near you!

So, what G.E.A.R. is asking of all it's members, as well as other aspiring designers and artists, is to cook up a logo that embodies the concept of "The Game Heroes". It can be a simple symbol/logo, it can be a font based logo, it can be a symbol and font combined. Be creative and have fun with it. There's currently no actual "deadline" but the sooner the better guys. If crxforum would like to set a deadline I'll put that ball in his court. But I'll say the contest has about a month for entries. By the end of April, we'll set things in motion. There's no GUARANTEE that any of these logos will actually be chosen, but the winner WILL receive a trophy (the system is implemented btw, I'm just making all the damn pesky little images right now) and we'll make attempts to use the logo either in some intros/outros or in other places around the site so it doesn't go to waste. The same goes for most of the entries, they will definitely be showcased in some form or another. :)

I'd suggest working at a VERY high resolution because keep in mind this logo will need to be used in videos, merchandise, and other stuff. Make the logo some relatively large size in dimensions so that if need be it can just be shrunk down, but keep in mind 300 dpi is a must have for this or otherwise we won't be able to use it in print related materials.

Without further ado, let the creativity begin!

I would just like to toss this in here, copyrighted material is obviously NOT ALLOWED, correct? I mean, we have to be completely original with these things.

For the most part. Now, if you took the Superman logo design and converted it into a TGHesque logo, iunno what the rules on that are, maybe someone can clarify?

I don't want to be THAT guy ... but if you guys use the logo given in merchandise, that means you're getting money for the product and some sort of profit, because it's TGH. What sort of payment would the original artist see?

Is it like, you wait to see? Or, there's no intention on paying people for their commissioned work?

I think, if it's the latter, shame on you! If it's the former, you should note that people need to mark their images with copyright notices so there's no confusion on what the deal is.

Of course, if the person who gets selected decides that the logo can be used with no fee, that's an entirely different situation.

All logos and designs are DONATED and there's no plans for reimbursement or "royalty fees" or what have you. This is work that you can use in your portfolio or resumes and say "Hey, I made a logo, and this site uses it." So that's where the payoff is.

G.E.A.R. has always been a profit free group and this is no different. Everything we do is done through charity without expectations of reimbursement of any kind.

You can submit low-res images here in the actual topic. Keep "final high-res versions" on your PC until a winner is chosen.

I actually kinda dig that one, especially the "GAME" part. That part looks spiffy.

Looks like a Sonic logo. Although, I'd avoid "lightning bolts" considering that rings too close to ScrewAttack's logo and I doubt we want/need more people complaining about how we're copying them, haha.

Looks like a Sonic logo.

That would be because it's the Sonic Adventure 2 typeface, which I totally dig btw. I'm also digging Furia's design, however...

Yeah i said it wasnt original lol. just doodling... and yeah it was sonic adventure 2 inspired,, though the font is very different. as for the lightning now when i think of it,,, it was a bad idea...

but when i did it i thought of power rangers not screwattack, which in fact got theres completley from metroid so they aint any better. I will trie again lol with something a little more fresh,,, im not hoping to win or anything,, i just love the challenge of it.. gives me something to do

By the way link you seem to have a good eye for detail 8-)
