The "Official" JA Logo Contest

i wanted to call this the "official" JA logo contest, but i think i should get a JAC blessing first :) (edit: yea, got DJ's blessing!)

anyway, we now have a Logo Contest folder on our msn groups collection. so get out your copy of illustrator, photoshop, corel draw, ms paint, or whateva you got, and give it a rip. :D

also if anyone wants to submit something but is too lazy to sign up for the ja photo collection group then just e-mail it to me and i'll post it for you. (please keep the size reasonable.)

visit the msn groups folder here: JA Logo Contest

i put in a few images i knocked out a while back for the JAA when aphex was making that site. nothing fantastic mind you. please feel free to post stuff for feedback and comments from the public here :)

Well we've discussed it. Thanks for waiting everyone. I'll be frank. None of the entries really caught our eye. SO... This poll has the top five entries. We're going to leave a poll open for one week. The winner of this poll will work into their design into something we want to have on our stuff and work it into a format that can work with cafe press. Here are the entries. Now get to voting. :)

To sweeten the deal a little.. the winner of this gets one free item ordered form our new store with YOUR logo on it. This can be a shirt, mug, thong, lunchbox, or whatever. :)

I don't want a logo that shouts "HEY LADIES DONT COME NEAR THIS ONE! HE'S A JEDI". I like minimalism in a logo design. Some tidbits. :)

here are some ground rules approved by DJ_Sith himself:

1. DO NOT use any copyrighted material. this means, no in-game screens of any Jedi Knight stuff. It would be ideal that whatever you create is all your own stuff. Also, be aware of any copyright issues on fonts you may have downloaded or acquired. Most font makers will let you use them however you like, they just like to know when they get used on something that's getting produced. DJ cannot stress how much he doesn't want you to use copyrighted stuff, so DON'T DO IT!

2. Make sure the idea (logo/text etc.) is reproducible at a high resolution for printing. (I.e. don't make a small image that looks good on the screen but will get all blurry and crap when blown up to a decent size and put on a T-shirt.) The ideal final format will be EPS, PDF, or some vector graphic format for ease of scaling.

3. The logo will go on a white (or light colored) background primarily, check the CafePress site for a full list of products. http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/products/viewall.aspx (Ideally the logo should have NO background to it, but for preview purposes, please put it on top of white.)

4. The idea behind the logo is that it be in line with a corporate identity. I.e. meaning this logo can stand alone or have supporting text. It should look good when reproduced at a variety of sizes, from a bumper sticker to a wall poster.

5. The JAC's would like to see a variety of quality ideas, so treat this initial go around as brainstorming session. DJ and the JAC's have very high standards that they'd like to see upheld by representing the JA with a design that can stand next to the classic logos of our time (the NFL, yes the national football league, is actually a good place to look at how logos today can become powerful iconic statements. For example, compare the new Patriots logo to the old one. http://www.logoserver.com/NFL.html Newer logos such as the Texans, Falcons, Titans, and Patriots show how a logo can be relatively simple, yet make a bold statement.) Ideas will be refined and developed by anyone that wishes. The final decision does lie in the hand of the JAC's. But as usual they listen to everyones' thoughts :)

I love this idea :D I'm gonna try to create something this week ! :D:D:D

If this whole idea goes to something real and if my logo was selected, I have a special request for the 'reward': I'd like a t-shirt with a pic of DJ in a thong table-dancing :P (cos DJ's damn sexeh !!!)

Brillinat entries so far. the MLB one would not seem so MLB if the colours were different.

I like the idea of showing how it would look on a t-shirt.

Keep them coming!:)

Maybe instead of uncutting you can try a one pixel black border around it. That way you can cut the letters without people wondering if this t-shirt was a misprint :)

Nothing wrong with that, at all, I just think the 'The Jedi Academy' is misplaced, compared to the old one..

Uncut version. Somehow I'm not quite satisfied with it, though. :/

man, great entries Aratan and Ataris. love the MLB/NBA logo technique Ataris, very cool/funny/clever. i'd play with removing the text from within the color fields though.

Aratan, i love the "om" quality that the JA logomark has. that's so cool. i would agree that it'd be nice to see the whole thing, not cut off. i don't know that i dig the supporting text's placement, but all that stuff is secondary to the logo idea anyway.

great work guys!
