Post by: SSH on Wed 31/03/2010 02:32:57
hey everyone i was just working on myblog& i said i have good art skills but no music skills when i try to make logos in stuff i have a lot of truble i was thinking if i drew a pic of something then posted it could some take it and make a good picture asyou would normally do for your backgrounds then i will decide who could be my logo drawer

Or, in other words... announcing the great AGS Blog logo competition. (http://ags-ssh.blogspot.com/2010/03/competition-time.html)

Please PM me entries or add a comment with the entry to the blog.

Ideally, a 600x64 banner and a 64x64 icon, please!

I've PMed you a 64x64 entry (Private Messaged, not Princess Marianed). If it's suitable I'd be happy to make a banner, or add gratuitous swearing.

Lousy bastards couldn't even make the cup rotate in place.  Even ILM's gone down the tubes the last few years!

What an appropriate topic for my terribly off topic post. Here's some blatant self-promotion:

My band are entering our first heat in the most awesome competition in the UK, with the finals being held at the 02 arena! The comp is based on crowd votes, judge votes and text votes, seeing as we're playing away from home and transport is a major problem we're already in at the deep end.

Basically if you like what you hear (http://www.myspace.com/quarterblind) then text: Midlands 3203 to the number 64343 and help us gain those extra votes. I honestly don't expect anyone to vote, it will cost you £1... but if there is the slightest little bit of Chicky love in your heart and you are rich and wealthy in the pocket then give it a go  :=

terms and conditions
16+. Texts cost £1.00 plus standard network charges. Please get permission from the bill payer. Customer services: festival@surfaceunsigned.co.uk or contact us on 0800 434 6076

Hows that for blatant self-promotion!

I'm not sure whether the cup is vomiting or if an evil tentacle creature is growing out of it, but either way it attracted my attention which means it should be used.

For me it represents the word 'blog'

'hey guys I just blogged all over the floor'

Here is my AGS Blog logo signature. I think it will get everyone's attention Just another offensive joke by me.

Even though the competition is over. No point wasting perfectly good pixels.

Just let me know if you'd like anything changed. I'll PM you with my suggestions for the next interview, but now onto the important point:

What's the cash value of this kudos and prestige?

Maybe it's because Ali made it, but that scroll reminds me of a pirate map. I think it looks awesome! Nice work.

I believe we were promised gratuitous swearing, Ali...

You sir are a failure.

P.S. Nice banner, you cunt!
Title: Re: Blatant self-promotion and getting something for nothing
Post by: Ali on Tue 06/04/2010 21:34:24
Glad they meet with general approval. Sorry about the lack of swearing, I should have said "gratuitous use of the word 'ramble'".

I hope it's not too piratey. Maybe the piratey-ness is partly because the font is a variant on Caslon Antique which is the font from CMI. That's my typeface anecdote quota filled for the day.

EDIT: CMI = The Curse of Monkey Island

Is CMI, Curse of Monkey Island? Or, something else... I want to make sure I understand what the adults are talking about.

So, I've fully updated the site with the awesome banner, favicons and all. And ALi has sent me his suggestion(s), so I'll leave you in suspense until I'm ready to publish the interview.

Looks excellent.  I wasn't expecting someone to make a banner which looks this good, and all I can say is I'm glad someone did!  :P
