    We need a logo. Preferably a character but could be anything something striking and must be an icon (ie it can sit on just about any background).

    The prize.... you wont believe this, its kinda weird...

    ... The winning design will be made into a giant transparency and stuck on the front of Sloshes Formula V racing car (gowan slosh ya mad thing).

    (For those who dont know Slosh has a racing car and races around Mondello, he's been on the telly twice!)

    He's going to race around with the design for the entire season (along with a www.boards.ie banner!)

    Its worth a laugh and its something thats kinda unusual so lets see if any of the artists here can do something worthy.
    You can sign it too so your name will be immortalised smile.gif

    Big ta to Slosh for the offer, I still think he's nuts.

    DeV.

    has he actually made it out of the pits? smile.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    Are there any minimum/maximum dimensions, colour depths, etc for the logo?


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Not really but since we'd like to use it on the site (as our mascot/logo) we'd like a small version too if possible.

    Whatever you can do I guess...

    Can you explain the 'signing' please?


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    You can sign it by putting you name at the bottom (artily) or not depending on what you like. On the site we'll give credit when we use it (as the web-logo would probably be too small for the signature to be readable.)

    I'm not talking about a big dirty "I DID THIS!" but something tasteful and artistic if you want to sign your work (you dont HAVE to).

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 411 ✭✭Jay


    Daire,

    I don't think they are looking for a modern Captain Birdseye logo!

    aight!

    PS, maybe they are. I dunno, but 'Pog' sounds cool, as in pogable.

    Here's my effort.

    pog.gif

    It is a picture of a man standing on top of his boat shaking his oar at the letters pog. He's thinking "POG RUINED MY LIFE"! I call it.......VAN GOGH's SUNFLOWERS. It symbolises unity in our world. btw, the boat is sinking because of a freak storm!

    Um maybe without the Shamrock?


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Pog isnt an irish centric site in general but I like that design too (already so many good ones...) Lose the shamrock and give it a Comic Relief style nose maybe?

    Then again, if I was any good at this kinda thing I'd do one too smile.gif
