NGEmu logo contest !!

**Bobbi** · April 20th, 2002, 09:39

In our recent efforts towards the new version of NGEmu (codename: NGEmu 2.0 (creative, ehh ?

)) which we'll launch together with our 10.000.000th visitor, the team also decided it's about time to start a contest for a new logo !

However, pay attention with the limitations: While you got plenty of space on the image I attach below, we need to take care of the limitations 800x600 users set on us, therefor the logo shouldn't exceed a size of 193x128 pixels ! On the other hand, if you got a really kickass logo, we could also make it members only and put it online for members (which don't see the banners unregistered users get) !

What should be included in the logo ? Well, of course "NGEmu" itself would be a really good idea ... if you want to put in any text stuff, something like "Next Generation Emulation" etc. looks nice

This contest will be open for several weeks (until we reach 10 million visitors), so take your time to submit your logo - we might think of something nice for the best one as well, but we'll have to see !

******* EDIT BY THORGAL *******

Alright guys, having read your posts so far I thought I'd clear some things up.

Color scheme: obviously it should match NGEmu's design, cause we don't intend to change it with v2.0 just yet. Some hex codes you could use: #102C52 (dark-blue), #10456B (lighter blue), #FFCC00 (orange). You could also use any of the blue colors of the top part of the page ofcourse (photoshop users, use the eyedropper tool).
Transparent or not, it's up to you, as long as you make sure you use the right background (see below).

Size: as Bobbi already said, the logo has to be in 193x128 pixels. It may be wider, but the logo would only show for ngemu members (since non-members will see a banner, and at 800x600 the page would screw up). In other words, it's not recommended for the newbies out there. There are no exceptions to the height, it has to be 128 pixels.

Background: now, here's the main reason why I updated this post. It is absolutely critical that you use the right background for your logo; if not, there's a good chance we'll have trouble adapting your logo for use at ngemu.
For the photoshoppers out there, I got a handy .psd file (link below, thanks for hosting Keith

) which includes the correct background + the old logo. You can use the file as a template for your own logo. Remove the current logo layer, or hide it, whatever you want. Then add a new layer and start creating your own!

For those of you who use a different gfx program, you can use the .jpg links below as well.

******* END EDIT *******

hmmm... I might be entering this contest. A very good move Bobbi. With my great artistic ability, I am guaranteed failure, but I think I will submit something anyway.

Are the colors of the website going to stay the same?

Auri87 · April 20th, 2002, 14:30

As I said in my post, we *don't* use a new design, we just wanted a new logo

That's why I posted the empty corner of NGEmu in here, so you can test if it fits right away
