Hey y’all, I happen to have a Steam code for a copy of Space Pirates and Zombies handy (you know, the awesome space game with the free expansion that was released recently) and I’ve been trying to figure out a way to give it away. I’ve already done the social media thing, and the poetry contest was fun, but I wanted to try something a bit different, and then I got it…a logo design contest!
Edit – Okay, this one’s been a bit slow, so I’m extending the deadline for a few more weeks in the hopes of getting some more entries. Good luck!
I’ve never had a logo for this site because I didn’t think I needed one, but now I’d like to use one not only for the site, but for the site’s favicon, social media pages and so on.
So here’s the deal. I want a logo, obviously, with spaceships in it. It can be a ship flying around, some awesome cockpit view of a ship in combat, a ship landing, or whatever else, as long as it shows at least one space ship doing something cool and/or in motion. I want the logo to be exciting, dynamic and professional looking. It can be funny, sleek, colorful, black and white, doesn’t matter, as long as it encapsulates the grandeur of space ships, space gaming, space combat and so on to the best of an artist’s ability.
This contest will last for two weeks, and the final day will be Thursday, April 5th. All entries are due by then. The winning entry will be given a code for use on Steam for a free copy of Space Pirates and Zombies, with the runners up also being mentioned. The winner will also be given full credit on the About page, as well as a link to their portfolio, if applicable.
To enter, please send your submission to me directly at brian at spacegamejunkie dot com.
I hope we get some awesome entries, and I’m looking forward to seeing them. Thanks, as always, for visiting, and good luck!
If only I had some skill in that arena …
Try anyway! I'll accept anything. :)
Wish I could have gotten in on this. I'm waiting on a GPU and would have liked to try my hand at a logo. (I make in-game graphics for smaller indie titles.)
You still can, I've extended the deadline in the hopes of getting more entries. :)
Hmmm. How about an image of you snorting tiny Vipers and X-Wings off the butt of a Millineum Falcon?
DO IT!
Hey Brian, I just found your website. I dont know how I could have not seen it before, im always lurking on the other space sim sites. I never post on the sites I visit, but I noticed this post and would love to take a stab at crafting a logo for you. Give me some time to gather a few ideas and i'll email them to you. Thanks for the opportunity, and now to browsing your wonderful site!
Hi there, Aerion, and welcome! Thanks for the kind words about my site, it's truly a labor of love, and I hope you enjoy your time here. :) Also, I can't wait to see what you come up with for the logo contest. :) Thanks!
Designers deserve to make a living just as much as Indie game publishers. These contests are in poor taste.
Hi Matt, and welcome to the blog! :) Now, I’ll admit I’m a bit confused by your comment. I mean, I was up front about the prize, the artist who won, DarkInfection, was happy to do the work, and was rewarded for it. I also promoted his art when he won, and would happily recommend him to anyone should they ask, if he were to put the site’s logo in his portfolio (which I hope he does). I needed a service done, I offered payment for said service, service was carried out splendidly and I rendered payment. What’s, therefore, in bad taste about this contest?
