Fuwanovel Logo Contest 3 (Winter Edition)


Recommended Posts

Posted

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  :D

This isn't the final version, I'd like to know if someone could help me smooth out the edges, especially on Tomoya and ushio.

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.

Looks nice, but haven't you neglected one of the rules?

I would support this, but Clannad is already pretty popular in the west :P

So you should just stick with the original sub-title as the rules call for

Whaaattatataaa ?! :0

Clannad can't be popular enough.

 

I'm not changing it, I don't follow the rules, I'm living the thug life.

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. A Clannad Fan should know that :D

Sigh, I know it's against the rules. :nervous:

 

And second one is a typing mistake.

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!

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?

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.

Very nice work. I really like this one.
