$100 Contest

[McNeo 3]

My biggest contest yet!

 

I'm looking for two AMAZING images to promote all things xenoGamers.

 

I'm gonna break this down some since a couple people are getting hung up here and there.

 

Images

This contest consists of two images:

• Banner: 460px wide by 60px tall
  
• Square: 460px by 460px (approx)
  

 

Requirements I am mostly lax on these rules if I like what I see

For both images

Appearance:

• Must be original
  
• Must submit Banner and Square designs as defined above of the same design/theme
  
• Be neat, clean, professional
  
• These will be used for marketing. Don't weigh them down with too much text. Make the images eye catching and engaging.
  

Content:

• Must contain "xenoGamers" (Use of existing logos/banners/icons is a plus but not required - DO NOT USE OUR CURRENT FAVICON)
  
• Must include "www.facebook.com/xgrepresent" OR the Facebook logo immediately followed by "xgrepresent"
  
• Do not use any images or content that does not fall under Fair Use protection (basically, if you use copyrighted stuff, don't do anything to imply xenoGamers owns it)
  
• You may include your generic/permanent xG or Steam username and UserID as a watermark if you wish, no larger than 10px tall, must be within 20px of the bottom edge
  

 

For Square image only

Content:

• Must include "xenogamers.com" AND the QRcode defined below (QRcode should be used in proximity to "xenogamers.com")
  
• Must include some information about the games, gametypes, and servers we offer (don't include IPs just in case they change)
  
• Must include "25% off at HostGator.com with code 'xenogamers'"
  

 

QRcode

Any one of these images must be included in the "Square" image as-is. No size or color changes allowed. White border must be included. Make sure your editor doesn't make it fade, it must remain 2-toned. Choose 56x56px, 84x84px, or 200x200px.

I haven't submitted anything....yet.

Hey McNeo, youuld post it, since it's anonymous who gives a shit.

[McNeo 3]

Well in the rules I said it didn't need to be public. If they chose not to then that was their choice, not mine.

[McNeo 3]

I know who it is now. He's asked for it to stay private.

 

I do very much like it but there's a thousand other things I'm sure I'd love.

 

My artistic ability ends at 48x48 pixel icons for programs I develop lol (and most of those are already images I just shrink and modify lol)
