Challenge #1 - Waiting [Logo/Banner Competition]
Welcome, boys and girls, young and old, tree and human; to our very first TreeCrafters Challenge!
OK, so technically this isn't our first mini-challenge, but it is the first that we'll be starting after the relaunch. Just humor me.
Anyway, there is still a little bit of time left before we relaunch the server to the public and give everyone access, so we thought it would be fun to have a little challenge called "Waiting". Because we all need something fun to keep us occupied while we are doing exactly that.
What is the Challenge?
It's a TreeCrafters Banner challenge! Currently, our banner looks something like this:
It looks fine, and has served us well up until this point, but it's time for a bit of change to prepare for the coming release. We are looking for a cool banner that we can put in our signatures on the Minecraft Forums (and other places), as well as easily double as the TreeCrafters server logo. It should have something to do with trees, obviously, and should look awesome enough that all of our players will want to put it in their signatures. Bonus points if you make more than one.
What is the prize?
There will be three prizes given out. A First Place Grand Prize followed by two others for Second and Third Places.
First Place Grand Prize:
- Freelander Access for one month (to get your bigger projects done quickly)
- Large Chest full of tools and items to help get you started with the game
- Cool "Achievement Get!" image to sport on your signature as the winner
- Custom In-Game Chat Tag to show your superior banner-making skills
- Free Market shop (no cost for the first month) that you can use to buy/sell/trade in-game.
- Forever recognized as a TreeCrafters-banner designer
Second Place Prize:
- Large Chest full of tools and items to help get you started with the game
- Free Market shop (no cost for the first month) that you can use to buy/sell/trade in-game.
- Cool "Achievement Get!" image to sport in your signature
Third Place Prize:
- Small Chest full of tools and items to help get you started with the game
- Cool "Achievement Get!" image to sport in your signature
How will they be judged?
At the end of the Challenge period, the admin team (all 8 of us) will take a look at the entries and vote for the winner. We will announce the winner the day after the last entry is submitted, 10 days from today, on the 10th of December.
If you're ready to get started, leave a comment below so we can keep track of who is competing. Players are only allowed one final entry, but can post multiple banners/logos to get comments from the community, or just to refine their work. Now get to work and Good Luck!

Re: Challenge #1 - Waiting [Logo/Banner Competition]
So, are there any requirements? Do you have a specific title/heading/subtitle that you want?
In all honesty (being someone that does art as a hobby) I think the current logo would be very hard to out do because of it's simplicity and good use of graphic design.

As long as it says "TreeCrafters" and has a tree in it, I'll be happy.
And yes, I do agree. Unfortunately, the current banner doesn't say TreeCrafters in it, so we kind of need something new.

I see what you mean now. So something JUST for the server and not for the challenge in general. Gotcha.
Re: Challenge #1 - Waiting [Logo/Banner Competition]
Ooh art challenge~!!
I agree, the Challenge logo is great and would be hard to match/outdo.. But having something that good for the server specifically will be awesome

Re: Challenge #1 - Waiting [Logo/Banner Competition]
Considering you seemed to like the challenge logo so much, I simply did this, though I'm not sure its entirely appropriate.
Eh, if it doesn't work I can just make another one that is more original than just putting new words on the old one.
EDIT: For some reason my background isn't transparent, possibly something to do with imageshack, I'm not sure.

Yea, also use PNG format rather than JPG.
I like it, but yea, maybe something a little more original.

I like the concept here - showing what it's like to go from start to finish. Yea, you're free to use our screenshots here, but let the creators know that you did. We're looking for something a bit more refined, though. Maybe give it another go?

Sounds great, Matthieu.
Everyone, you have one day left until this mini-challenge is over! As we only have two entries so far, choosing a winner might be a little difficult.

Thought I'd add an entry in here. Took me about 45 mins (maybe an hour). No idea what you wanted for banner text beyond the typical "TreeCrafters.com", so it's definitely alterable.
It's also vector, so easy to resize for larger banners.

Nice work, Agnate. That actually fits the mood of how I'd eventually like to design the website as well. A bit colorful and cartoony while also holding depth and seriousness.
Matthieu - which tree are you using for the "End up so" side? It seems familiar, but I can't place it.

This one is seemingly a little busy, so its probably not nearly as stylized and clean as Agnate's. Of course, I can change the text/font to whatever you like if you simply enjoy the background.

The admins have voted and a majority rules. Congratulations, Agnate! You're the winner for this round! Please log into the server and claim your prize. Also, please email me so that we can make some small adjustments before presenting this to our members.

Thanks to everyone for participating. If you would like to still submit a banner to be added to our official banners list (to add to websites, forum/email signatures, etc...) just let me know. Send an email to stifflerdean@gmail.com so that we can discuss refining your banner a bit to make it fit with the designs we have in mind for the future. Anyone who offers their skills with designing these banners and has their projects approved by the admin team will get $150 in-game to spend in the Market.
Thanks again, guys. Glad to see we have some designers here that have more skill than I do.

I attempted to email you, anotherstiffler, but the email you linked seems to be wrong. I wasn't sure if the L was supposed to be a period, though. ^_^
