New Contest – Design a Logo!

***NOTE: The contest submissions deadline is over. See this post for more information***

Here is your chance to win another 60 day WoW game card! This time I’m looking for a logo for the site. This contest will be a bit different. There may not be any voting at all. If 100 people enter and they all suck, then I’ll just cancel the contest. If 100 people enter and I’m torn between 20 entries, then I may put it up for vote. If I’m torn between 5 or less then I may pick all 5 and give those five people a game card. Basically the rules to this contest will be at my discretion. I don’t want to lose the right to pick what the site looks like.

Here is what I’m looking for.

200×90px logo, I’ll post a white box below to show the example:

Use one of the 3 sets of rune icons that we have. I don’t care which, I’ll let you chose which ever fits your own artistic style. You can even use all 3 sets if you can make room.
The logo MUST say DeathKnight.info and nothing else. Make sure that the D and the K are both in capitol letters.
A flash logo will get a huge “you’re gonna fucking win” bonus. Preferably have the runes start out grey and then fill up in their respected colors over 10 sec, then once full have the runes and or the DK.info text sorta of flash or flicker. Then set it to pause for a bit before looping over. Make sense? OMG game card for you if you can do it.
If you do a regular image and not flash, make sure the back ground is either transparent or using the color #1b1b1b saved in .png format.
Fill up as much of the 200X90 as possible, the less space the better. Keep the full area active.
Reserved for when I think of something else.
You can use any of the following runes:

Concept Runes (Pre-Alpha):

F&F Alpha Runes:

Design-a-Rune Contest Runes:

Beta Runes:

As of now there is no deadline. Send them in to deathknightinfo@gmail.com. Once I’m ready to end it there will be plenty of notice to finish up whatever you’re working on.

Winners will receive a 60 day WoW game card. If a winner is from EU they will get $30 cash via Paypal. If you win and are in any country than the US and can’t use Paypal and or $30 us dollars in your Paypal account then you may be SoLand entering will be a bad idea. (or if someone knows where I can buy EU game cards please email me). If a US winner would rather have $30 via Paypal they may chose that as well.

All rules are subject to change at my discretion.

Spread the DK:

Bah, I just sent in my entries before reading the updated post, and didn’t include the 4th rune of the Beta runes. Feel free to ignore my entry until I put in the 4th rune.
