Nosebleed Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 It's that time of the year again, time to come up with new logos for the forum! I'm thinking that the best decision from now on is just to have different logos for each season so 4 contests total per year so that's something you can expect. Let's keep it brief as I'm sure you're familiar with things by now The theme for the second edition will be Winter Simple, straightfoward, can't get any easier. Show that winter and holiday spirit on your logos for a chance to be featured as our forums' logo for the rest of the Winter! Rules (Please read): How to interpret the theme is entirely up to you. All entries must explain why they fit the theme (even if it's something obvious like "there's snowflakes therefore winter"). Entries that fail to explain properly why they fit within the theme will be rejected. OriginalRen, Emi and myself are not allowed to participate in this contest due to winning the previous contest. This becomes null in the next contest. Likewise, the winners of this contest will not be able to participate in the contest immediately after. Only one submission is allowed per user. You may change your logo at any time during the submission phase, just make sure to indicate which is your final version (in case you post more than once) so there's no mistakes. To submit an entry you must post the logo you made in this thread or send it to me via PM if you wish to be anonymous. Entries should be around 354px by 90px and must include the title "Fuwanovel" and the sub-title "Make Visual Novels Popular in the West", but font, styling and design are up to the artist. The logo should have a transparent background, it also must be visible when being used on the layout (black letters would likely not be visible without a colored stroke for example) No porn, sexual acts, genitals, female nipples, or excessive female cleavage If you wish to add (a) character(s) to the logo there is no restriction as far as whether that character comes from a VN/Anime/Manga/etc. or whether it's Male or Female. As long as you think it looks good and doesn't violate previous rules it can be submitted We'll accept entries for 10 days after this post goes up Once 10 days pass we'll make a poll where users can vote on their favorite logos There will be three winners per contest: The "official" winner will be the logo with the most votes, the second winner will be the runner-up in the poll, and the third winner will be chosen by a secret logo council run by Tay We encourage people to be creative and have fun making logos, but all logos -- even if they win the popular vote -- have to be approved by Tay before they'll be displayed on the forums We'll cycle through the logos periodically between contests (including the old stock banner and possibly previous contest winners) Submitting a logo gives us the right to use it forever and ever however we feel like it (*evil laughter*) Logo contests will be held semi-regularly If you wish to use the default font template in your submission we have a sample of it here that you may use, there is no penalty for using it. I'll be in charge of handling the contest so any questions you may have can either be sent via PM to me or be posted here and I'll try to answer as fast as possible. I hope you all have fun in this edition of the Fuwanovel Logo contest. Good luck to all participants Stray Cat, solidbatman, Asonn and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

傍観者 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Good luck to everyone who will be participating. Explanation: Christmas hats :xmas: If any of you will wonder how your logo will look like if used on the forum, download and unpack this. In the unpacked folder, replace the file 1LOGO.png with your own avatar. Use the HTML (.htm) file to see the result.

Guest Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Thank you very much =) There we go, here's mine : Justification : It's the best VN ever and Winter reminded me of this incredibly tragic scene that even 8 months after reading the VN still makes me shiver and uncomfortable. It also represents the emotions some Vn's can take us through. It 'lso represent all da fuwadrama. Edited December 6, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would support this, but Clannad is already pretty popular in the west So you should just stick with the original sub-title as the rules call for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaaattatataaa ?! :0 I would support this, but Clannad is already pretty popular in the west So you should just stick with the original sub-title as the rules call for Clannad can't be popular enough. I'm not changing it, I don't follow the rules, I'm living the thug life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Cat Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Here's my current contribution. It has snow, winter, Clannad (yes Clannad again). I went less for Christmas and more for the late January dreary winter feel. And because you can't tell anything from that, here's what it looks like on the site, thanks to 傍観者. I will probably work on it some more and touch some stuff up, or scrap it entirely and start over. EDIT: I tried to sharpen it up a bit and fixed some minor details.

I don't wanna be nitpicking, but ... at first like the most say it's against the rules ... and second: Where is Tomoyo? I only see Tomoya.

I dont know if opinions are welcome, but I really really like this one (except that it doesnt have the Fuwa color scheme). I wouldn't scrap it! Stray Cat, fight!

I wouldn't scrap it! Stray Cat, fight! They are most welcome indeed. I gave it another whirl, do you like this one better than the above? EDIT: I'm being told I'm overdoing it on the snow. Does anyone else think this is the case? Cyrillej1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arakura Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Yea. Have you tried playing around with different snow patterns, as well? Either way, I like yours a lot as it is now ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roach Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Transparent: Black Background: How it (should) looks like on the site: There's snowflakes, therefore winter. Oh and the girl is wearing a scarf too, therefore winter. Will edit it later when I am not lazy busy. Or maybe I will make a new one since I just realized that her hair got cut.

The Major Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Uhh... let's see... there's some snowflakes (and one giant one), and a girl wearing a scarf because it's cold outside. And that's supposed to be a visible puff of breath (not cigarette smoke). It's kind of plain and simple, but I like the feel of it. It's not too distracting or anything.

Stray Cat Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 O.K., this is my final submission. I cut back on the snowflakes and polished things up as best I could.
