Are you participating in the Logo Contest?

[CalculusWarrior]

I'm just curious to know how many people are making a logo for SQUAD's contest.

i made some, and then saw some other people's logos, and went and cried.

[SkyHook]

I would if I could.

[RocketPilot573]

I wish...

[TerLoki]

Best I could do is slap something together in MS paint or AutoCAD. :/

[astropapi1]

Dem mad Gimp skillz aren't up to the contest's quality, so I'm just gonna sit here and cry a little. Don't mind me.

[Clockwork13]

I had an idea for Zaltonic Electronics, and I tried making a logo. When I was about to submit mine, I decided to look at other people's logos, and then I went and cried.

Seems to be a lot of QQ going on in this thread, think I might join.

I'm waiting for the next contest. I heard there's gonna be one where the reward will be having one of your craft included in the game as a default craft.

*insert diabolical cackle here of your choice*

[NovaSilisko]

Part of me wanted to join, but I imagine that might've brought around some problems

[Trann]

Based on a lot of the replies, I wonder if people could team up (idea guy with artist gal) to submit an idea? There's nothing on the line but virtual fame anyway...

[FanaticalFighter]

I'd love to participate, but I'm in the middle of my exams.

[AlamoVampire]

i lack the skill set needed to produce a usable logo for entry.

[helaeon]

I thought about it, even had some ideas... This is part of what I do for a living. I love KSP and it would be awesome to see something I made in-game officially...

But then I remembered one of my rules about never, ever, doing work for contests or working solely for exposure. Especially if IP and reproduction & royalty rights are being fully handed over.

I have a very jaded view about companies running contests for creative items that don't involve a long term job or contract, as in the contest is effectively a job application.

So, absolutely possess the skill set. Would rather spend my free time playing KSP and my work time getting paid.

[Torham234]

I am not. I have no solid ideas for them. I would need some more info on each of them to flesh out some ideas. Plus I do not really have the time. I did do some icons previously, but I do not think they are of the quality needed either...

Here are some things I have done.

Edit: Sorry for the poster size pics

There's a logo contest?

[SkyRender]

I'm no graphics artist, but I made a few logos anyway. Just for the heck of it.

That statement and your avatar picture combine perfectly!

[Brotoro]

I made a couple.

Ohhhhh... Oh my....

"You may not vote for this poll." – What ? I participate and created 4 so far. The "price" is kinda low considering you kinda sell your soul to Squad which may discourage some other graphic artists. I plan to get an logo out for every company but the time may not be enough. So far it's fun though

[Col_Jessep]

I find it kind of surprising that the winners get basically nothing, especially when you consider how easy it would be to find something more substantial. There would be gift codes for KSP on Steam, free Kerbalizer, Shapeways figurine, printed coffee mugs...

A small Indie studio I have alpha tested stuff for even had their artists create a special cosmetic item for the winners of a fan-organized tournament. (Not exactly cheap if you have to create 4 versions, several LODs and QA the stuff with every new patch.)

I'm sure that Squad might be able to afford a bit more than somebody spending 3 minutes in a text editor as Thank You for fans who probably spend several hours on creating free content for KSP?

Well, I won't be participating anyway. Just some food for thought.

Yes that's a bummer for me as well. I think they have something in mind since they ask for your country

[NASAFanboy]

I wanted to join.

I'm not kidding, I've won several art shows with my sketches and stuff (The ones I try hard on), but I can't do anything with paint.

So I lay in a corner.

And cried.

I hate u mouse

Y u no draw liek u supposed to

[RogueMason]

That is the only one I've submitted thus far (there is no 'Symphonic' in the name of that company!!). I also somehow managed to not add my forum name to the submission, so...

I may submit a few more designs if I can get any more done.
