Type of Contest:Avatar & Userbar Designs - 2 Arcade & 2 Werewolf Prize: $30.00/ea. or $110 for all 4 Contest End Date & Time:November 30th, Midnight Eastern (or earlier if a perfect entry is submitted) Size Requirements:Avatars - 80px x 80px, Userbars - 350px x 19px Color Requirements:Black or really dark grey (plus any gradients and transitions) as the background, #EFC41A (gold), #DC0000 (red), White, any colors from the logo on top of the forum, plus any gradients you feel necessary.
General Requirements: These images will be used for people to place as avatars or signatures in other forums. They're going to display statistics from our Forum Arcade and Werewolf Games.
Both types of graphics need to say "USG", "USGamers" or "USGamers.net" on them.
Arcade graphics (avatar & userbar) must say "Arcade Titles:" and "Leaderboard Rank:" on them. They should also have some kind of Arcade or Video Game image/theme in the background.
Werewolf graphics (avatar & userbar) must say "Games Played:" and "Win Percentage:" on them. They should also have some kind of Werewolf image/theme in the background.
Please make sure all fonts are crisp looking and in either white or the gold listed above. The winner will need to tell us the font used so that we may use the same font when adding in statistics.
First, I want to clarify some of the requirements (in case you want to make any changes before I comment) because I may have been vague in the original post...
We need one userbar/avatar set for the arcade stats and one userbar/avatar set for the werewolf stats.
Both types should say "USGamers" or "USGamers.net" on them.
The arcade avatar and userbar need to list "Titles:" and "Leaderboard Rank:" ("Rank:" would be fine for lack of space).
The werewolf avatar and userbar need to list "Games:" and "Win %:" (or any variants that fit...like "Games Played:" or "Total Games:" or "Win Percentage:").
Try to use the colors outlined in the OP. Also, if you can incorporate the logo on the forum (again, space constraints make it tough), that would be great.
Sorry I didn't get back right away. Writing up comments now...
Crime,
I really really like the 2nd werewolf avatar and first werewolf userbar. It's dark and has the wolf's eyes staring nicely at you. Let's focus on that one for werewolf and forget the other style. The fonts need to stand out a little more though. Maybe give them some accent, or change the background color to be slightly faded (whatever it takes).
The arcade PacMan ones are much better than the Donkey Kong ones. Let's just stick with PacMan. Same deal with the fonts. Somehow get them to stand out a little more.
Also, could you please separate the images? That would make it easier to see.
Thanks,
OH
Outphasen,
I like your font and color choices for the arcade. 2nd is better than the first IMO. The image could use a little work. Try some different graphics.
With werewolf, I like the 2nd one better than the first also. Maybe add darker colors in there somehow and a few other effects (your choice).
There are still a few changes needed (fonts are still hard to read, avatars need to have statistics too, etc.), but for the most part I like almost all of them. If nobody else enters the contest in the next day or two, I'd like to close it off and work with you privately (AIM or MSN) to complete the contest. Would you be OK with that?
outphasen,
Thank you for the tries, but we're looking for something more along the lines of what crime designed.
Jim, thanks for the heads up. They can make any necessary changes on the final product.
outphasen, MUCH much better. I may even like these better than crime's. The fonts stand out exactly the way I wanted and the darker look for werewolf is perfect. One thing though that you had wrong since the beginning: both stats should be on one avatar/userbar (the way crime has it). In other words, there are only two of each kind, not four.
i am working on someone i will have it ready by tomorrow
Feedback always nice!..
i will be making the rest of the avatars and banners tomorow morning
i can also add on the text you required.

I like the clarity of them. Both the image background and fonts are crystal clear and legible. The actual images, font style, and font color are too plain compared to the other entries. I'd like to see the werewolf ones though. In all honesty, it's going to hard to beat outphasen's last entries.
outphasen,
The first werewolf userbar is 100% perfect. The avatar is very close to perfect. We should be able to play around with it and fix it up pretty easily. Please work on the arcade ones a little more. Keep the same font style/color that you have for werewolf.
Just so I don't lead you guys on or make you do any more work than necessary, it's only fair to let you know that I will be closing the contest and working with outphasen. I thought he was going to surrender earlier, but he made a STRONG comeback at post #12 and kept improving since.
Darshan, I know you said you had a werewolf entry ready by the morning. If you've already completed something for werewolf, please post it by 12 noon eastern (7 hours from now). I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and look at it...although I have to admit, it has to be ridiculously spectacular to beat outphasen's green one.
OUTPHASEN WINS THE ARCADE GRAPHICS!
I'm also 99% sold on his werewolf graphics.
outphasen, please PM me with your AIM or MSN screen name so we can make a few final changes and arrange payment.
i will be finished in the next hour so please wait for my entry
heres mine, i do have borders on them but they are not visible in white backgrounds
