The AntiOnline Logo Contest begins on Wednesday the 16th!

AntiOnline is having a Logo Contest!! The contest starts Wednesday, April 16th and ends on May 16th! Please read our Contest Rules page before you begin! You can find it here: http://www.antionline.com/aoprizerules.html

Essentially the logo must be created with a vector-based application, i.e. Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand, and fonts must be converted to outlines.

You can submit your entries in this thread, and the community can view and comment on them. On Monday, May 19th Jupitermedia will make our final decision and award the prize, a $50 gift certificate from Amazon.com.

Thanks, and good luck!

wow, a $50 gift cetificate?
so much reward, so little time. </sarcasm>

seriously, why not get one of your employees to do it? this seems to be nothing more than a gimmick.

Hey this is a joke but since i was an old member and probably will be banned for this. I would just like to say the logo is a joke and so is the contest. hehe. Another thing I'm really dissapointed in the new management. They don't know shiznit about shiznit. JP shouldn't have sold AO to these guys in my opinon. I would just like to say it cause I think alot of people are thinking it. So without furthur a due GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!

I think you all know what the right thing to do is

Nadir, this contest was requested by the comunity..

As you might know AntiOnline is (or atleast used to be) all about the comunity..
So letting us design a logo is a part of that Community feeling..


so let me add my fugly logo.. not to win.. just to add something to this community..

this was done in 0.35 minutes with The Gimp :D
wich automaticly disqualifies me from the contest..
I forgot they had to be vector based :(
well screw it..

yea, i will submit a new logo as soon as i make one. but i just wanted to ask, didnt AO change its logo not so long ago. and is this new logo going to be put up or is it just a small comp??

Okay, here is my design. please note that i am a mathematical person and do not have that artistic appeal, so it wont look as good as anyone elses :P, but i hope you have fun.

My one is in the spirit of my favrite web browser, Opera. its not exactly charming but if you want to change it you can. :D

Behold, The Spirit of Opera:

Nadir,

I was the one that suggested to them a reward (originally a t-shirt but they might not have any) and encouraged the contest (before the recent contest thread was started). Why so hard on them when they are trying to be part of the community? Since everyone dislikes the present logo, it made sense to ask everyone for their ideas. And a month isn't the total time to work on it. It's the time allowed. You could do it in 10 minutes if need be but there has to be enough time to allow as many members to see the contest, think up ideas, etc. Maybe a new person comes in with a great idea but if the contest was only open for a day or so, they might miss out.

alrighty then, heres my contribution..

i put like a whole day into this
i hopes you all apreciate it
kthnx
rioter

ROFL RiOtEr I think I got some competition now.

At first, sorry for this off-topic reply.

To all the morons who think they've got to take their shot at JM and the AO Admins.

-If you only post to tell things like Rekcpy and Nadir ... don't bother....
-If you do rant, at least have the balls and actually make a logo ( at least Nadir had the balls)
-If the admins wouldn't care about AO, they wouldn't organize this contest at the first place.
-Concerning the reward, you had your chance to comment that before in the pre-contest thread, like MsMittens answered.

Oh Btw,

What the hell has this do with it the contest ????

I've ranted, and as I said myself in this post, I will try to make a logo too....

Here is my entry...
I will update if i see anything better?

Hmmm here's mine .. check this out.. not too good but nice color.

did anyone read the rules?

Just for fun ...

okay firstly
i've been a member of AO for ...quiet a long time. I've keept it quiet for also a very long time, occasionally browsing around and seeing the script kiddies pour in. But in my opinion, JM doing a good job of admistering the site. As negative said in one of his other posts, the changes they have made are just cosmetic, but that have not changed the actual content or community side of things. which ofcourse is a good thing.
secondly, the logo contest, in my opinion, is a good idea. for one thing, it got me off my ass and back into the community. well kind of. At least JM is attempting to involve the community in the way the site looks. thumbs up for JM there.
thridly...i whipped up something before, but if any other logos come along that are incredibly good, then i'll make a new one. Mine was done in illustrator (yes i have the .ai files), but for the sake of the internet, i've converted to a .gif for everyone to view.
Last...very important and i think JM should take this into account. For future competitions, please supply more details. Eg. the size or max size of the file (or size of the logo), the colors that are preferred, the text that MUST be in it (e.g. do we have to include 'hackers know your weaknesses etc etc in the logo?), and any other details that would help us 'designers' to complete our competition entry. I was quiet stumped for which colors i should use, since no color theme was specified. If we made a bright pink and green logo, would the layout of the forums and antionline change with the logo? or do we have to conform with the current colors of the forums? they are just some questions to consider.
okay enough talk for now, here's my entry. Not sure if JM wanted a crazy/suburban/new generation logo or just a plain/simple/professional logo. oh well... :)

My contribution... Can easily be made vector.

Does it really have to be vector based ? I have some vector painting program somewere, but I would have to go search for it...

Thanks for the entries and comments thus far folks. As far as colors, we're open to suggestions for the color scheme of the site, which is why we didn't specify which colors to use. Width and height should be approximately those of the current logo. We didn't want to get too specific, as we'd rather give folks an open window with respect to design, etc.

The winning logo will indeed replace the current logo throughout the site. We'd appreciate some input on the sort of logo folks think would reflect the concepts and ideals represented here on AO. Some of those I've seen so far have been quite impressive...I tend to think we'll get a varied group of designs, but that's what this contest is about--letting everyone who wishes have a go at it. In the end we'll have a logo that we can all be proud of.

How about

AntiOnline.com
Six year olds know your system weakness! Shouldn't you get a clue?

Na just kidding! thought it would be funny, a little ha ha ha . considering im 28 and there are 14 year olds that know more about computers than I do. those darn little wipper snappers...

many interesting contribution here ... now i try to mix different color.
i hope it could be better.

Okay, here is another entry of mine. um, im just using simple M$ paint to make mine with no cutting or pasting...is that vector based. im pretty sure it is. but if not they can all be changed.....practically freehand so....

o yea, and i just make the AntiOnline part, the rest can be filled in later if its really needed. and i didnt use colour cause i like the current AO colour scheme.... maybe i change would be good.

and yes, Australians spell Color (American) Colour (Australian) hehe, just i case you didnt know

okay...im not sure if Trust_Not_123 was being sarcastic, but vector based means an image that is made up of mathematical caluclations, not made up of specific colors at specific coordinates. i.e. a jpeg is NOT a vector based image, since the jpeg is made up of pixel by pixel colors. a 'freehand' or 'illustrator' image IS vector because the image is not made up pixel by pixel, it is made up by...for example: at cooridinate 3,4 draw a circle with radius 6 pixels and fill it with orange.
Does that clear things up or not? oh well i tried...
i might make another logo later on when the dead line approaches. ;)

good idea!...but isn't that just security, community and advice? (that makes a good slogon! :))
and...i was wondering if it would have been wiser to make two seperate threads, one for entries ONLY and one for discussion on the way the logo should look. i also had another idea where after the dead line, the JM admins would collect ...say their 5 most favourite logos, then post a thread with those 5 logos. Then the AO community could vote for which of the 5 logos they wanted. That way...everyone's happy...sorta
:D

Another submission. Could be quickly redone in a vector capable prog as soon as I download one. Personally I like the existing colours but they can be changed according to taste. :)

Cheers

Jupes:

i wouldnt exactly call AO your safe security haven, i mean, look at the AO achives. they are riddles with virii, trojans and all sorts :P hehe. but look good though

Trust_Not_123,

It was ment to imply AO is a haven of computer security knowledge and hopefully the knowledge makes you safe. Maybe a little unclear... :p, but yeah you are right dangerous files abound!

the archives of files are *meant* to be for research purposes, so that 'hackers' and security professionals are on the same level and have the same access to each others 'tricks of trade'.
:)

Like it or love, I made. And here it is
BTW I think this is a good idea.

Sorry everybody...

THIS is the end-all logo.

I wouldn't even bother submitting if you haven't yet...

:thumbsup:

enjoy :D

i did ****head, read the post i made before this one .. its a take on the 'my friend went to london and all i got was this stupid shirt..' shirts.

ok, just a tiny piece of adive, which im positive is in the site FAQ. if you post something you think people wont like to see, then you hide it, because then if they didnt like what they read its your own fault. but, voicing your opinion is a downfall of the AP system. and just for the post above definately should have been hidden, because of the bad language. and it total, here is my advice from me to you nadir, dont whinge and bitch about such trivial crap. you posted bad. who cares, you got a few negs not get over it. post something useful and worthwhile and those negs wont mean a thing. and remeber, you cant neg me for it otherwise thats just a double standard for you.

a 'few' negs? get ****ed, try -267. the only people who like antipoints it would seem are those that have more than 50.
FYI i marked the post hidden a minute after posting. you mustve got in early.

Nadir,

He wasn't the only one. Did you not read my PM? The language and tone you are using will make it worse. Granted, people do use APs to express opinions and that may not be the best way of using it but neither is posting about APs in this thread nor the tone. The tone you present will, guarantee, get you more negs (unless that's what you want).

I'd suggest you change your posts and move the discuss to a separate thread.

you'll like at least one ----??

Bleh, ok, I was bored, gave a go at it...
Mine's pretty similar to the current but with a personal (obviously) touch...

(Got the original vectored version too if ever...)
