To all guilds, the Coterie of Dernier Cri has invited all the great guilds of the
realm of Planeshift into a competition of beauty and prestige. To all guilds that wish to
bestow their best image of their guild enter...
Task: Make a symbol/logo/shield/icon/image (with text) that best represents your guild. T
he only rules are please be reasonable when choosing the size of the symbol, the image must be exactly 160 x 160 pixels (if not points will be deducted accordingly after total score is totaled, and must be made with pride and honor for your guild.
All entries will be due Christmas day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also post them in this thread when your ready to show them off, beware you can only send one image in, so make it beautiful and make it count
Scoring:
Symbolic Relationship 20 pts: Does the symbol accurately decribe your guild. For ex:
If your guild is about cooking don\'t make something that represents mining. A cooking guild
should have an image that represents cooking.
Artistic Creativity 20 pts: Creativity no matter what is always important
Dramatics 20 pts: Make it dramatic, make the image/symbol feel like a sense or power
Description 40 pts: Make it a paragraph describing it and what it says about your guild.
Total__100 pts
Overall Placements: Only top four rankings will be shown
- The Coterie of Dernier Cri Sweepstakes Award
- Second Place
- Third Place
- High Honorable Mention
[My own opinion: I just want to do something that the whole community of guilds can be
involved in and maybe to get some people who are freelancers to get the good light
about being in a guild.]
-
This has to be your best idea yet. (compared to the ammount of ideas centered around a Un guild) :D
-
are guild would like ,if you will, some advise on the creation of these most delightfull picture that most out there can create i wish to know what programs you woud use to create one so that i may enter this contest
-
EDIT: Sorry you did have a guild, I didn\'t read it carefully sorry...
THere are lots of programs like Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Photodraw, paint, paint extreme, or just find any visual editing programs.
I hope more guilds are planning to do this
-
Creating Images
1. Programs
There\'s one thing that most of you already have: Paint. Incase you don\'t know where that is, go to \"Start > Program Files > Accessories > Paint\". This is a very limited program, so I don\'t recommend you use it unless you know exactly what you\'re doing and are sure it won\'t look too bad.
You can also download a free trial of Paint Shop Pro (http://www.jasc.com/products/). This is a good program for beginners and has many tools and filters to use.
Alternatively you can try the GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/downloads/). (Don\'t ask me how to download it... all I could see was source code, so unless you\'re a Linux junkie, you\'ll have to find an exe somewhere else.) This program is best suited for image manipulation, rather than making images from scratch. But it\'s free, so that\'s a good thing. :)
2. Making Sure of the Size
All images must be 160x160 pixels. To do this, there is usually a window asking what size you want when you create a New image. Alternatively, go to your program\'s equivilent of \"Edit\" or \"Image\" menu and try to find an \"Image Size\" option.
I can\'t really give more help than this without teaching you how to draw. So now it\'s all down to you. Good luck. :)
-
Very nice initiative Kuiper, great idea and great to see something for the community and totally in keeping with the Coterie\'s style and vision :)
I hope there\'ll be plenty of contestants.
-
I\'m in. Expect something by the begining of next week.

You didn\'t read the entire page, did you? :rolleyes:
The Windows installer is available
here (http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html). You have to download and install both files.
edit: Sorry for being off-topic.
-
Okay enough about that GIMP stuff, Entamis I know you mean well but that could\'ve been a PM to Moogie. Everything now is only for guilds to post their image...
More guilds do this c\'mon, don\'t be lazy and represent your guild
-
Very good initiative Kuiper. Congrats.
But I have one question. Who will decide what is the best \"logo\"? We all know that tastes are different ...
A council? A vote system for all community members?
-
but annah won\'t guild members be voteing for their own logo ?
i think it would be up to kuip and his guild to decide unless his also makeing his own ...
-
maybe the Coterie of Dernier Cri council or management.
-
the judges will be chosen from The Coterie and/or The Followers of Aliathi

i ain\'t a math wiz but don\'t you mean the highest score is 80 instead of 100 ?
besides that, how many entries can a guild submit under its name ?
-
Symbolic Relationship 20 pts: Does the symbol accurately decribe your guild.
Nah, he made a little human mistake :) He forgot this ^^
-
DOH! Your right I didn\'t see that ugh how ghetto of me to do that... I forgot to add symbolic relationship, I\'ll edit it right away.
-
Total 100 pts: (Found by adding raw scores from all three categories)
They\'re four :P
Edit again ... haha :]
-
Lol. I wish i could make a thing but i have no skillz with Paintshop or anything like that. The only thing i can use is MS Paint! :P I am looking for a guide to help me though so i might end up making one after all.
-
maby the mods should pin this up like aenders monthly guild o\' the month thing.
-
Do we have to PM the final product to you? Or are the ones posted here going to be final?
Edit: Didn\'t feel like waiting for a reply, so here is my fist... icon.
Official entry for TMG:
(http://mercenary.fragnetics.com/images/contest/Merc1.jpg)
This depicts our chaotic nature,
our tendency to switch sides without warning
according to the circumstances, sometimes
appearing to be both good and evil
at the same time. We are Mercenaries, money
is our only law.
-
Yeah just post the final icon here but when you reply put this title in the Subject (optional) heading: Official Icon Entry for (Guild Name here). Just check the example right above this paragraph.
EDIT: Update of current guilds participating-
- Mercerary Guild
- The Explorers
- The Blitzers
EDIT #2: Rangers Guild, sorry Monketh...didn\'t see it, thanks Levski
Any other guilds that would like to participate? I\'m suprised that there are some guilds here (I won\'t mention any guild names) that are very well known haven\'t participated. Tisk...
-
Cabal will possibly participate. We\'ll let you know.
-
made a decision yet, Xordan?
How can you prove your corruptness and legacy of corruption if you don\'t join this guild contest and beat some guilds? (Since the game isn\'t out that is).
EDIT: :P
EDIT #2 to Xordan\'s post below: WOOHOO! and WOOHOO to all guilds participating...
-
Yeah, we\'ve got something in design.
-
To all guilds that wish to join but haven\'t said so on this thread yet, this Friday is the last day to apply, so do so please. Have a nice day...
-
Why do guilds need to apply? Why can\'t the guilds who want to join just post before deadline. I can\'t see the purpose with applying. I\'m thinking of making something but I won\'t post if it\'s awful or if it turns out I don\'t have time...
-
@redmonk : I think they are embarrassed because of the little number of players...
Edhelgarth is a very new guild. I asked a member to draw but as we are new we aren\'t organised enough... so I don\'t know if she\'ll have enough of time to draw the pictures I asked...
I\'ll see with her but Friday is two close to have an answer I think...
-

Erm... by \"apply\", we mean \"post the picture\"... :P
I thought people were supposed to be posting contest entries here, why so many posts and not a single entry? Do you guys have to be promised massive prizes to get you to do something fun?
-
Do you guys have to be promised massive prizes to get you to do something fun?
Not really, but some people do have little time, being busy with their lives.
... if it turns out I don\'t have time ...
Anyway, i now announce the entry of DREAM OF THE SARUKAI in the contest. I hope we\'ll have something finished until Friday. :)
-
yes when I meant I apply I meant posting a picture.
All entries are still due December 25th or earlier if you want.
I used this Friday as a day just to get a rough number of guilds participating...
So when its Dec 25th I won\'t be suprised if there are only 7 guilds or 30 guilds...
The guilds don\'t have to formally post that they want to apply but they can still post the picture to be considered an entrant.
Again I only said this Friday only to get a rough number of guilds participating. All guild entries can be posted on Dec 25th or earlier. All guilds can still participate if they want to regardless if they \"apply\" or not.
-
ok so we participate but I don\'t promise anything... I hope she\'ll be able to find time to draw... I could try myself but I\'ve not the same level...
EDHELGARTH joins the contest
-
What of us who neither have nor plan on having or belonging to a guild? Could there be a contest for personal or family crests? Family is more important than any guild, isn\'t it?
Excepting for maybe Cabal, I hear they may eat their family. :D
-

See that was what confused me ;) Thanx for explaining!
Well, Ashes will try to put together something cool, so all other guilds might as well give up :P

Did you miss mine? :O
-
Yeah I assumed since you said it was not an official entry, it didn\'t count.
-
Thats because I thought I might make another one and put more work in it, but seeing as I have no competition, it looks like I won\'t have to. :D I might make another anyway if I have the time.
-
that\'s the fighting spirit...
-
I never noticed this thread :P
Helmora Velsha will participate and win :)
-
yeah update of participation list:
- Mercerary Guild
- The Explorers
- The Blitzers
- The Rangers
- Cabal
- Edhelgarth
- Dream of the Sarukai
- Helmora Velsha
edit: like always if any other guilds want to participate your more than welcome to...
-
Ok I just recently skimmed this thread and decided that my guild would participate. I guess it will be hard for you to understand mine because this final stage of my guild hasn\'t been released yet but how about a sneak peak.
\"The Holy Searing\" - This will be our final guild title, it means the Holy Scorching. We are the followers of Good and we shall burn our enemy with that of light.
(http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders/upload2/logo342.jpg)
As time has past our guild has been molded from Xperto to Rebirth and as the pilgrimage comes to a end we finally have a name to call our own. The Holy Searing is our quest for the greater good and this picture rightfully depicts our now built strength and the power of Holy flame that we control. We shall burn our enemies of darkness with that of light and leave nothing but ashes. We fight for the people, not for God!

Hello, This is the official contribution from Mirth guild.
The three colors of Mirth represents what we stand for, and explains our values. :)
(http://www.icestormcity.com/fanomatic/Mirth/Bilder/Mirth%20logo.jpg)
Colors of Mirth
Colors three,
of Mirth and harmony,
make people see,
cleanse their acrimony.
The color of yellow,
Which stands for energy and joy,
like seeds on an acre we will deploy,
In people\'s hearts, giving hope to them all,
Sorrows begone, heed our Mirthfull call!
The color of Green,
Which stands for balance and law,
a world without order is violent and raw,
Following the way of truth and love,
Fear and horror we will never approve!
The color of Blue,
Which stands for innocence and peace,
from fear and from hatred, a pleasant release.
Put down your weapon, look into your heart,
it\'s never too late for a mirthful restart.
-
Well here it is after an hour of trying to fix what I did wrong:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v360/killerv/guildlogocontest.jpg)
There is an upside down cross in the picture representing our evil and there are also two triangles attached to it which make the roman axe of justice.
These two items show what we stand for. Evil and justice. And our guildname sits under what supports us.
Black grey and whit are the only colors, the colors of helmora velsha.
-
reminder: two more days...until all entries are due
heads up: it\'s Christmas Eve, all entries due tomorrow.
-
I\'d throw mine down but I fear the rest of my guild would beat me severely. Again.
Christmas is saturday? I think I should be somewhere by now.
Hmmm
This reminds me of a song.
\"The future freaks me out...\"
-
The member of my guild who had to draw our entry for the contest seems to have some personal problems...
I\'ll do my best to give a draw but can\'t promise anything
EDIT : ok one day after I draw the image it\'s ok but I can\'t broadcast it... I\'m looking for a way to broadcast it. If you want kuiper I could send it to you by email...
-
Official entry from Blitzers Guild:
(http://www.freepgs.com/levski/Art/blitzers_image.jpg)
Let us introduce ourselves, the Blitzers Guild. Our goal is to advance our members in all aspects of the game. We don\'t care what race or job you have - the more the merrier. The guild is built for our members. We will watch over our newest members and help in any way we can. We are neutral as a guild, but individually, every one is allowed to have his or her own preference on alignment.
And always remember,
As the world changes
The Blitzers will strive
Coming together
To stay alive.

ok the official entry of Edhelgarth is :
http://membres.lycos.fr/fken/html/contest/produitfini.jpg
I hope you, kuiper, have a good screen because with my tft the color was ok but with the one I\'m using... I cant see any details...
(http://membres.lycos.fr/fken/html/contest/produitfini.jpg)
----------the comment--------------
first, as I\'m late I was forced to modify a picture I\'ve already drawn before.
-> what I\'ve done before : I looked for pictures about new Zealand and I modify one of them. It was a photo where we could see water sliding on a litle mountain : I modify it and the water becomes a fall and the atmosphere became a heroic fantasy one ! It\'s the picture upside...
I worked on the statue too.
Both of them are on our website
What I\'ve added today :
I created the dark water and the waves (if you are aware of it you can see it).
I wrote some words on the main picture
I added a sword in the hands of the statue after modify it and a lyre (I can\'t remember if that\'s a good english word) with a perspective effect and I draw a dark shadow in the right side of the statue
I added the statue on the main picture
I added a supernova effect.
----the meaning----
First the atmosphere is violent and very sad. We just created Edhelgarth kingdom and we will never forget our past. Our civilization is represented by the statue because of the ruins of Yannaeh. The statue is an angel because of our innocence and it\'s looking at the pavement because of its sadness. We are neutral neutral aligned so there is a dark and a light side on the picture. The statue is wearing a lyre symbolizing music and art and a sword symbolizing our honnor. As you can see the sword is in the right side of the picture (this is not for nothing). It\'s representing the evil and the lyre the good. The supernova light is leading us and it is representing the hope of our guild... It\'s the opposite of the slaying of Yannaeh. This is the light of our heart which show us the way to survive after the massacre. But the dark shadows representing the evil is still around us looking for a coming back : this is the torment of the guild...
The words in the right side represent the past and the left side the present/future.
EDIT wait I\'ll try to change the size...
-
It\'s supposed to be 160x160....
-
please before posting your comment read what I edited !!!
I\'m resizing but this one is here just fo fun levski
-
Sorry :), didn\'t see the edit... sure you didn\'t edit it after I posted? ;) :P.

Bah, never made a new one, so consider my first entry my only entry.
-
(http://img151.exs.cx/img151/706/final2fv.gif)
The skull houses the brain, the place where decisons are made for the whole body. Also it repesents death and is a known symbol for danger and caution.
The snake represents the betrayal, if you read the bible or know stuff about Christanity the snake betrayed man and caused him to be cast out of paradise. Also it repesents the Sots (sons of the serpent) a guild which shared cabals vision and merged with us.
So the snake coiling round the skull would mean that the cabal uses betrayal and betrayal is its \"loyal\" servent.
Red and black are stereotype colours for evil.
-
Is there a way to know th result of the contest ? ?(
I just tell that cause kuiper is certainly playing cb for a long long time... :D
-
Maybe you should hold a new contest to go along with the Crystal Blue Release. It could be logo\'s again, or best website, or best story. I liked the contest idea - good work!
-
sorry I haven\'t evaluated more entries. I just got back from Mexico helping at an orphanage, and I\'m very very tired...
-
Well dammit man keep up we want some results!
-
let kuiper sleep dude!!! (hoping this good action will be good for our score... lol... dont woory Im joking)
waiting for result ?( cause I spend one complete day to draw the first one ! X(
-
HE kuiper !!! Its time to wake up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Ok so when will it be another contest ???
-
i forgot this, if you still want me to give out the results kuiper then please pm me.
-
sorry guys, man if you wanna know what happened after I got back from my orphanage trip from Mexico read about it in Hydlaa Plaza.
I promise I\'ll get it done within the following weeks, I\'m tired and I have essays due, reports due, I promise I\'ll get to the results soon...
EDIT: Hey Altharion sorry for the inconvenience, if you could PM me all the guild scores that would be great. My outgoing PM stuff is working but I can still recieve incoming PMs so yeah, thanks. Again sorry for being so late.
-
