FPSLabs - FPSLabs Home News Story - FPSLabs Logo Contest

Not too long ago, GotFrag Hardware announced that it would be rebranding itself as FPSLabs.com, and with this announcement came several changes that were necessary. Our goal is to create an extremely community-oriented site, and what better way to do that than letting the community play a role in our appearance.

FPSLabs.com is in need of a logo to represent us on the GotFrag Network, on products, and worldwide. We have but a few guidelines of what we are looking for.

Artistic Guidelines:

While not an absolute must, we would like the logo to convey an edgy, tech, or gaming look. Hell, why not all three!? We need something that is going to make us stand out, but also be attractive and convey what FPSLabs.com is all about.
Feel free to use your artistic license to branch out and do something different. That’s exactly what we are looking for.
We have not decided on a color scheme, thus you have one less limitation on your paint brush. If you would like to exhibit how your logo would look in different color schemes, feel free to create multiple version. Your color scheme could end up influencing what the entire FPSLabs.com site will look like!
Coloring, spacing and capitalization is all up to you. What looks best? FPSLABS, FPS Labs, FPS LABS, fpslabs, fps labs, FPSLabs, or? You might decide not to use a space but make FPS and Labs different colors. You decide and incorporate it in your design.

GRAND PRIZE: WACOM Intuos3 PTZ930 9" x 12" Active Area USB Tablet (over $400 Value)

How to Submit:

Once your artwork is completed you will send the submission to fpslogo@gotfrag.com. "FPS Labs Logo: YOUR FULL NAME" should be the subject. In the body of the email please provide your full name, age, email address, phone number, city, state, and COUNTRY. Finally, please attach a Hi-res version in JPG format and the original photoshop/paintshop/GIMP/other file with layers unmerged.

Submissions will be accepted until 08/09/07

Multiple submissions are allowed!

By submitting a design to the FPSLabs Logo Contest Sweepstakes, you agree to the Rules and Regulations

UPDATE: Due to popular demand, we have opened up the competition to all international artists. This means you can now submit and win no matter where you are from!

Why don't you guys just use "FL" as your logo with the text above in the "FPS Labs" thing?

iv made an awsome logo and sended it to that email a few days ago, and i still have no answer, wellyeah gg xD

#Styled.Q @ Quakenet idle and get free designs :) (pm admin!)

#17 You can submit only if you live in the US.

Too bad I dont know to work with PS (only basic :$)

GL to participants

So yet again it's US/Canada only. Can't be THAT hard to ship to Europe, ship as a gift and you won't have to pay VAT on anything over �500, which is about $980, which the prize is never worth.

Good Luck to everyone!

#15 obviously not. read the rules lol
#21 na...it's open to US only.

thx for candians people.

damn why not europe oh men

I'm really annoyed its only US and Canada :(, I had a awesome design made ready =/

Moved to Gamesurge....

if you have an awesome design submit it anyway, im sure they will work something out.

www.fpslabs.com

I'm going to win.

Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

good luck to contestants

#iLLest

aj, nice

dam #30

Gotfrag's CS1.6 Forum Helper

If only that was a logo #30.

#30 submitted

nt #30
While the actual logotype came out nice
The 3d portion is horribly mis-matched and thrown together
And the B isn't even rendered correctly

i'm liking the floating logo, not the fpslabs text or water, though #30

Lucky7 | Mal'Ganis.US.PVP

yeah doesnt go for a logo

#30 take out the water and fix that B

#rt #remnant

#30 ... Why do you say you're going to win when you haven't seen any other submissions. First off, that isn't even a logo, it's a simple 3-D Scene in Cinema 4D. Ugly materials, too much gamma / terrible lighting, unappealing extrudes, bad positioning ... the list goes on.

IMO ... horrible.

EDIT: After going to the directory, I found http://www.theesbn.com/media/FPSLabs/FPSL..

If you really want that unoriginal concept to become a logo, take off the effects(reflections, drop shadow, shine).

And after going through some of the other things in there, I see that all of your 3-D Art/ "logos" are basically the same. Whether its the curvy lines, or the ugly materials. Are you trying to rip Pandemic and Razer or something?

To me you put no effort into these submissions. You just edited the same .c4d you do with all of your work.

Sigh....

haha aaron really got offended

#30 Treated.

On a side note, I will create something later this afternoon... :)

I AM LEGEND

The contest should be open to the whole world... dammit :(

I just dont understand how the price can be a 400$ tablet, but they cannot afford the cost of shipping it to other country... I believe that if the winner is not from the US, he/she would pay the cost of sending the prize.

bad

Its not as simple as shipping. There are legal implications to be worked out. Trust us, we would have preferred to open it to the international community.

Contest has been updated! We are now allowing international submissions due to popular demand!

#30 i think u'll lose, or fix the 3d position and make it 2d

You make your choice

I don't want to be mean or anything but #30's doesnt look good.. no where near so that comment isnt right lol.
