Ready, Set, ART! #3 GimmeALogo

[nikasaur]

Allo artists in our midst! I have a task for you.

(Spoiler: I am not very artistic... when I try, it is a determined kind of art that takes forever and goes pixel by pixel. Please, help me with this.)

Okaaaay okay so Telltale Tuesday is wicked awesome and such, but the logo was a 5 minute job and we could do with a rotation. My challenge to you:

Make a Telltale Tuesday (http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/tag/Telltale-Tuesdays) logo!

It'll be used in subsequent Tuesday posting according to the mood: you can integrate themes, or just make it real perdy for us over here in the office. I'd love to do a fan-contest while also spotlighting fan-created art stuff!

You have 2 weeks from today to put something together (that's April 12th!) though I'll probably accept submissions past that if they're cool. Make sure it has the text Telltale Tuesday prominently, and you might be our weekly star.

Winners get something cool when I decide what it is.

Ready?

Set?

ART!

[Irishmile]

Here is something I whipped up... dunno if I like it though.

EDIT I'm putting all mine here

This image does not evenly show the spread of Telltale's games. Over 50% of the letters have images from ToMI, out of the 4 games you've featured. Still good, but too much Monkey, not enough others!

I went with a bit of a Big Brother feel, with kind of a mix of the blockiness of Soviet Propaganda posters... I wanted this to feel like you HAD to take part in Telltale Tuesdays...

[The Highway]

How amazingly simple and effictive is that calendar idea?

[light_rises]

Eh. I won't be impressed 'til it integrates a perpetual calendar.




I kid of course, since it might actually be my favorite so far. <3

[Irishmile]

New one... did I mention I love this sort of stuff?

We're glad you do, 'cause you're awesome at it!

[Irishmile]

Thanks.... If only I could do it for a living... TTG, will move, have tablet.

[puzzlebox]

Apply to Lucasarts, you've already proved you can do better hair than them. :p

[Irishmile]

Can I just say how epically awesome it would be to actually have a little Max that size pop out of my PC screen.....

Also you all need to submit more... I love seeing everyone's ideas the presidential calendar was a great idea... a little disappointed I hadn't thought of it :P

[SHODANFreeman]

I decided to make an insanely overcrowded "logo" for no apparent reason.

http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n377/GodzillaX8/ttt.jpg?t=1270168366

NOTE: This is not a submission.

Of course, everyone knows that Strong Bad never plays fair...
http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/7215/strongbadpwns.png

[Irishmile]

oooh obviously the issue of who would win in a fight between Max and Strong Bad needs to be addressed possibly in the form of a webcomic or TTG short.... I nominate Majus to do it..... he is working for TTG now.

Is there a wallpaper sized version? :D

Alas, there is not, as I was working with a couple images that I could only easily acquire low res versions of.

http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n377/GodzillaX8/tttlogo.jpg?t=1270212455

But here's a "logo only" version. :D

http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n377/GodzillaX8/tttt.png?t=1270212941

And a transparent version for less obtrusive-ness. :p

[SHODANFreeman]

I just had this idea and it was too good to pass up.

Yay! What about the 5 People you meet on Telltale Tuesday?

[Irishmile]

I hope you can all tell what this is supposed to be... not sure if I made it obvious enough

[puzzlebox]

It's Max's little desk!


... and I would like it as a wallpaper please thanks :)

[Irishmile]

....:o sorry that is the biggest I made it....

I was tempted to scratch in treasure crab on the surface as well... Also its actually kind of hard making something cartoonish look a little more real.

[puzzlebox]

....:o sorry that is the biggest I made it....

Ok... I guess I can forgive you because it's so awesome...

*sniffle* :'(


I was tempted to scratch in treasure crab on the surface as well... Also its actually kind of hard making something cartoonish look a little more real.

It's got great texture. This is my favourite, in addition to the Presidential calendar and PaleMan's mishmash (the "& Max" part cracks me up).

EDIT: Oh, and I like Max crashing through the brick wall too!

[Irishmile]

Yeah the "& Max" part cracked me up too.

Hey, great entries everybody! And thanks for the kind words! I think the Presidential calendar worked better than my other idea, the Vacaylian calendar:

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4056/4487695661_52e9c2fa4e_o.gif

:)

For those of you looking for ideas, keep in mind that it looks like they're also looking for themed logos, like for Christmas, Halloween, etc. or for specific games. (I missed that the first time I read the original post.) So, keep up the great work!

[Irishmile]

Awesome... keep it coming you guys more more more.

[nikasaur]

Aaaaah these are great! One more week (I had to double-check 'cause I... am crazy) and I wanna use a BUNCH of them.
So the more you submit, the more likely they are to be all blog page'd.

[Fealiks]

Irishmile, do an argyle logo! I want to see if Nikasaur cries when she's forced to put it on the blog page because of how awesome it will inevitably be.

[StrongBrush1]

Here's my entry.
It's not too good.

Hello,

I know there are real professionals working on the images. I have no experience but thought i'd give it a shot with no advanced software, just everyday applications on a normal pc and the following is the result. Hope you like it.

Just look at the mess on that toilet and wall. I say it's sadistic just to put Max in the same room.

[jeeno0142]

Here's my attempt! It's not even comparable to the ones I've seen so far though... you guys are good! Still, I hope you like it!

That's a clever design, jeeno. Welcome to the forums.

Ahhh these are adoragle*! I want an 8-bit TTG sign like StrongBrush's submission. Great ideas you guys have!

adoragle

Is that a portmanteau of "adorable" and "quadrangle"? I choose to believe that it is.

[nikasaur]

In retrospect.
Yes.

It totally is.

It pretty much went without saying but I thought I'd ask anyway.

[Avistew]

I say it's a portmanteau of adorable and argyle. Nikki slipped! She still loves him!

[Fealiks]

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!!

I can see a Telltale representative posting a thread any day now stating that Telltale have officially resigned from making games for us because we're just too strange.

Until then, though:

What's the Web Pit and, more importantly, when do they (your dudes) come back?

[jmm]

What's the Web Pit

It's either
1) a mystical place where web designers perform dances, chants and sacrifices
or
2) a huge hole where web developers reside in fear of deadlines

[Fealiks]

or
3) a mix between a sarlacc pit and a pit of GIANT SPIDERS! With THROWING STARS.

[Avistew]

GIANT SPIDERS

:eek: KYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I love contributing... Especially when it might be used on the site.

[nikasaur]

So awesome! We'll get to gifting in the next few days but it's all launch-a-riffic stuff right now so there's a queue.

[Irishmile]

So I got a question... those of us that didnt win or get mentioned .. is our stuff not getting used at all?

[nikasaur]

If it becomes appropriate, maybe. We picked the ones we're most likely to use.

[Irishmile]

cries...... I actually didn't care about winning a prize I just wanted to be used for the site... Oh well.

If it becomes appropriate, maybe. We picked the ones we're most likely to use.

That includes runner ups, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

[jeeno0142]

Yay! I'm so happy about being runner up! Congrats to all other winners and runner ups! I'm amazed that Irishmile didn't win though... perhaps he's just too good!

[Irishmile]

you flatter me.... I guess they wanted things they could tie in with individual contest themes... I really doubt its because I am too good... I am just an amateur... I actually just work at a restaurant for a living, so my stuff probably lacks some things that people who know what they are doing can spot right away.

I think that the winners deserved to win, they had some pretty awesome submissions....

I hope that TTG do more stuff like this in the future so I can try harder and maybe get something on the site just yet.

besides I do not mind I did get a cool ribbon and some signatures from TTG for the unofficial photoshop thing.

[jeeno0142]

I checked out your art. There is no way that you are an amateur.

What unofficial photoshop thing... I wanna see!

[Fealiks]

Hair on fire, brb.

Oh, deary me... this made me laugh like a human male audibly expressing happiness or amusement through constriction of the larynx by the epiglottis :rolleyes:

Also, hooray on running up. I've never ran up to anything before.

Yay!! me too ^^, Im just loosing my hand at work right now, so this cheered my day :D

Thank you Nikasaur and Telltale.

[The Highway]

do these coupons expire? what if I want to use them for the next series?

[nikasaur]

Coupons are good until I say they're not good. At some point I'll probably have a reminder to all who haven't used them to snatch 'em up quickly, and start a new set of coupons then.

TBD.

[The Highway]

alright. note to self: bake nikki cookies, stay on her good side :)

[jeeno0142]

I know this competition is long, long over, but I wanted to have a bit of fun. It's not the greatest thing in the world, but it kept me entertained for an evening. I took the hidden people direct off the site, but did the wording and drew Nelson Tethers free hand (you can probably tell!) using what help I could from the screenshots released. I have no idea if that is what Nelsons shoes look like. There is currently no picture of them, so sorry if I got it wrong.

[Avistew]

I like it, but saving it as a jpg really brought down the image quality.

[jeeno0142]

It's actually a bmp and a png (I saved two formats), but I'll be danged if I know how to upload it as one. Every time I say upload it turns into a jpg automatically. Am I doing it wrong?

[Pinchpenny]

It's actually a bmp and a png (I saved two formats), but I'll be danged if I know how to upload it as one. Every time I say upload it turns into a jpg automatically. Am I doing it wrong?

You can try uploading the png to either TinyPic (http://tinypic.com/) or ImageShack (http://imageshack.us/). I think your entry, regardless of image quality, is superb! You captured a great expression on Tethers (shoes look good, too) and the Hidden People popping up from the text is a neat touch.

[jeeno0142]

OK. Here it is again. (crossing fingers and hoping it works), I have also included my previous entry in the quality I made it in as that became jpg when I uploaded it last time as well.

EDIT: Well, I used TinyPic (thanks for the suggestion)! And I have still made it come out as jpg, it's better image quality now though so thanks for the help!

[Avistew]

OK. Here it is again. (crossing fingers and hoping it works), I have also included my previous entry in the quality I made it in as that became jpg when I uploaded it last time as well.

Well, you're still attaching them. You can write and the link of where you've hosted the picture in between, and it will appear directly in your post.

[jeeno0142]

So that's how you lot do that! I thought that happened automatically, but it never worked. I wanna try it now. Sorry for using this forum as a lesson on how to do things.

http://i44.tinypic.com/vdfrxh.jpg

Oooooh! It worked! I shall use that from now on!

Thanks Avistew!:D
