Happy Anniversary PWI!!!

As we begin our month long celebration of 8 amazing years of PWI, we wanted to do a little something different and hold a very special contest of sorts. Put on your creative hats, this one is going to be fun!

The PWI logo has undergone so many changes over the years, and we wanted to make you guys a very special part of that evolution! So simply put: What does your PWI logo look like to you? That’s right! We’re giving everyone the opportunity to redesign the PWI logo in any way you see fit!

This contest will last for the entire month so that you have ample opportunity to create your perfect logo, and in the end, we’ll take all of the logos submitted and create a very special mosaic that everyone can be proud of!

Oh yeah and you’re going to walk away with some very cool prizes as well.

Duration : 09/01 10:00 – 09/30 23:59

Here’s how this is going to work:

Design an original logo for PWI
All content created must be original (no revamps, reskins, or recolors)
Any medium for this is accepted! (Think outside the box on this one)
All submissions must be 3300 x 4800 (11” x 16”) and at 300 dpi.
We encourage all forms of artistic expression for this event (pen and paper, CGI, Photoshop, Metalcraft, Ceramic, Paper Craft, Macramé, etc...)
You may use the PWI “fonts” but all entries must be English.
Please note in your post your In-Game Name and your Server on all submissions.
You may submit more than one design.



During the event, we will be running an artistic showcase of some logos we really enjoy, if your logo is selected, it will be displayed prominently across our Facebook page, and we will give you full due credit for the submission!



Prizes:

Every person who submits a well-executed submission will receive 100 Event Gold

Every person selected in our artistic showcase will receive an additional 100 Event Gold

At the end of the event we will pick our top 3 favorite submissions those players will receive our grand prizes…

    "I designed mine in inches - because that what I assumed you meant by in the brackets 11" x 16" because the other dimensions seemed weird, and more like a poster size. (All submissions must be 3300 x 4800 (11” x 16”) and at 300 dpi).

    I also noticed a-lot of entries designed "Posters" instead of logos, so i did both..

    @thenamesdomino Can you confirm the dimensions should be a width of 3300 and height of 4800? That's taller than it is wide.

    Well, I guess I will try to enter something... The problem is I always over do things. :D

    Update 9/24/2016 DAMN IT!!! I really wanted to make a few cool, awesome, fancy logo designs. But my **** slow piece of **** of a computer just can't handle making things at such a ridiculously high resolution. When I was trying to make some of the ideas I had it was just killing my computer. Why does it have to be at such a massive size? It's so unfair to poor people that can't afford a good computer. :'(

    well it says to create a logo.. not a banner of sparkles.

    A LOGO IS:

    A logo (abbreviation of logotype, from Greek: λόγος logos "word" and τύπος typos "imprint") is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition of their brands/company.

    Original size (3300 x 4800 / 11” x 16”):

    Behind the idea:
    For eight years we've had the winged elf lady on the logo so I thought another winged being would be the most fitting. Whenever I think of the PWI logo, the winged elf is the first thing that comes into my mind. For my entry I used the Harpy because it's my favourite Venomancer pet. The letters have "unfinished" lines to add a bit of playfulness because when I think of this game, I think of fun.

    You obviously can see my logo :) if i want "sparkles" as my background, why cant i? it isn't against the rules is it? Why limit our creativity to blank background? All these entries are great and creative. Everyone has a different style.

    Yeah, I wonder about that... Everyone has good entries, but some of those are more like banners than logos. A bit of clarification would be nice.
    I think everything is clear. It's said logo contest, so it's a logo contest. People just go creative without limits tiger-2.gif

    Of course you can add whatever you want. But if you overdo, it's not clear where backgroud ends and where actual logo begins monkey-47.gif

    None of the entries seems to be invalid imo. If the judges have a problem they will say it. let's not focus on the flaws else this will be more work than fun

    They are not invalid. But people jumped at bigtiggerrs for a legit comment. Designing a logo is not the same as drawing a picture. While everyone is free to choose with what he is entering the contest, some people can be confused if they should take into consideration certain restrictions for this kind of work or not.

    Meh, who are we to say what is a logo and what is not.
    Some "Logo's" are just... text anyway.
    Just to mention one, Google.
    The thing that makes it more of a logo is that is doesn't use the same color on each letter.

    Anything can be a logo, to be honest.​​

    You are absolutely right (= Main types of logo are: symbol, symbol + text or just text. What differs logo from anything else is that you can use it to represent what it advertises. For example, on post cards, t-shirts, informational emails and other forms of advertising, on different backgrounds and in different surrounding.
    From this point of view, everything can be a logo, but not everything can be effective for this particular purpose, even if it's a graphical masterpiece ;)

    Well, I never said anything about effectiveness, obviously for a game, just plain text wouldn't be very effective tiger-18.gif​​

    I understood you. What I'm trying to say it's that not every amazing picture can be perceived as a suitable logo, and not every logo is an amazing picture by itself. As for plain text logo for a game, Legends of cryptids is the first example coming to my mind. I agree tho that it can be not competitive in the context of a contest. But contest for fun and designing real thing also differ.

    I don't know how it will be judged, maybe it's ok to ignore some formalities, maybe it's essential. But since someone asked why do some entries look like logos and some don't and if it's acceptable, I'm sharing my knowledge on the matter (:
    Would be cool to separate actual entries from discussions, I think ,,o,o,,

    Yeah, at least it leaves people free to make what they want.
    Personally so far I like shywa13's drawing best so far, but it wouldn't work as a logo, it would work as a poster, which brings me to the next point:
    The other issue with this contest is the resolution contestant are supposed to work with.
    The hell kind of logo is that supposed to be, it's the size of a poster.
    They want to print posters out of a logo made by someone?​​
