Well, I've finally fugutred out how I'm gonna make it, it's just a matter of doing it.

[James Gryphon]

Thought it would be a good time to let y'all know that so far we have only one eligible entry. If the deadline passes without any more submissions, I'll have to forego the voting period, and it will have won by default.

[The Skarzs]

Darn. Well, I'm having no inspiration, but I'll see what I can get done.

[The Skarzs]

DANG IT, I'VE DONE NOTHING. I have been very busy. . .

The passive-aggressive jabs in the most recent post in the Logo topic are not appreciated. Some people are too busy to make a logo, some people have no skill, and some people have no inclination, and that should be fine. We're under no obligation to create a logo. And there's no specific reason that the site should have a logo anyway. Sure it'd be nice to have one, but it's hardly a necessity. Berating people for not joining an optional contest is, quite frankly, very rude.

@Søren: CONGRATULATIONS! You deserve the win and the recognition, and your logo is truly great

@James Gryphon: Thanks for hosting it

Ahahah...I have a little story to tell about my adventures in the Logo Contest.

Spoiler

I have limited experience in graphic design and am frankly not good at it. However, when I heard about the contest, I thought participating would be a great opportunity to try new things and help the forum.

After half an hour of working in Photoshop and Paint, I retrieved feedback from a classmate who's good at technology. She suggested some improvements, which I made. Then, looking at the newer design, she suggested more improvements.

By that point, I was a bit discouraged in my abilities, and some reasoning led me to conclude that "perhaps it's better to leave the contest with people who actually know what they're doing". Hey, at least the hour I had spent had achieved the "try new things" part of my goal.

Looking back, I'm pretty disappointed in myself for not submitting an entry anyway. But I've made enough mistakes by now to (try to) not dwell on them when they come. If there were to be another contest, it's likely I would give it another try.

Oh on! I missread the deadline date and thought it was April 23! I have my entry sitting next to me, I was planning on posting it either today or tomorrow. I've had a flood of things to due these past weeks and had just found the time to do it yesterday. Would you still like me to send it to you?

But cheers to Søren!

^^ Yes, yes, and yes. Very well said.
Also, James, about the whole fanfic thing I promised a while back, one, can we just forget that? And two, I wanted it to be nice, so that would include having inspiration, and inspiration was no where to be seen. Also, there's a thing called being busy. Now that that's out of my system I think I can now congratulate Sor.

@Søren: Congratulations on your win, your logo is really cool! I especially like the font, but the Abbey itself is neat. The contrast with the sword is a stroke of genius.

[Søren]

Thanks guys!

[Jukka the Sling]

Congrats, Soren!  It's a great logo!

[The Skarzs]

Congratulations, Soren. Wish I could have competed.

[Lady Amber]

Congratulations, Soren! I love the logo!

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Great logo, Soren! 

[Captain Tammo]

Well done, Soren! It is a very nice logo

So... the avatar-upload option seems to be broken again.  I don't see the option at all when looking at my profile settings.
