50k credit logo design contest!
 
Hello everyone,

I am announcing the start of a contest to design a logo that I would like to use for a sports team I'm heading that I'd like to use for a t-shirt. The contest will run from today until Tuesday August 5th 12:00PM EST. Entries must be submitted in the thread. Any questions are to be sent via PM. The credits will be awarded to the winning entry. Prizes may be given to 2nd and 3rd place (as I decide) as well.

Contest Details

-The logo must be of a depiction of the mythical creature Chimera. (If you do not know what a Chimera is, google it)

-All art mediums are accepted, but for the purposes of the t-shirt design, digital may be best.

- I would prefer that the image you submit is just the creature, or against a solid black background.

- I'd prefer for the Chimera to have two heads; a lion and another creature (eagle, dragon etc.; be creative :)), the body of a lion, and the tail with a serpent. (I say this because I know there are different interpretations of the creature depending on culture)

- I'd prefer for image size to be around 500x 500 pixels (bigger is better in case I have to shrink down, I still keep quality)

- The work you submit MUST BE YOUR OWN. Artistic plagerism will not be tolerated.

And above all else:

-Try your best. Even if you do not think that you are a Picasso, at the very least you'll get to try and improve your artistic talents.

Good luck everyone, and enjoy the challenge.

P.S: Please spread the word of this to people you know. Place this thread link in your siggy, or a random thought on your page. Anything you do would be amazing. I'd like to get as many participants as possible. Thank you.

Sample/Reference Imagery



Note: Image is what I would kind of like for just the serpent tail (not the body and head).



Note: This is a good example of the body structure I would like, but the Chimera's a bit too calm in this picture. I'm going for a proud standing look.



Note: Fantastic digital imagery. This is one example of a stance that I would like to use, if only not for the lack of lighting on the other two creatures.

I hope these images help the thought and creative processes.

The logo has to be a fair size...maybe a 500x 500 pixel image. You can work around that size. If worse comes to worse I say make it too big. At least that way I'll be able to shrink it down without the quality getting bad as if I had to do it in reverse.

It can say "Chimera" at the bottom or just be blank. Either or is fine. Preferably white text.

I would attempt this, but I can't draw. I also can't find a reference of a chimera with - specifically - an eagle's head, a lion's body, and a serpent's tail to work off of.

Oh well, it's usually both heads on the lion's body and the serpent as a tail, but I understand arrek, thanks anyway for accepting the banner request. Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done.

Not sure if I'm going to submit a entry yet, but would said Chimera have to be ferocious looking, or have more of a calm cool look?

A calm look would be better I think. I really appreciate how everyone is mentioning these things that I forgot to put in the original post, and I'll be posting a sample picture shortly since people are having trouble finding this out.

Unfortuneately if I have less than 5 people willing to enter by next Wednesday I don't know if I'll be able to run the contest since I would like to see a variety of artwork, and I wouldn't want to give the credit prize to the only person who submitted (though that would be notable in itself), when I may not decide to use their work.

Edit: Woops, Double Post ^^;
