    Default TWC Milestone Icons Competition! - Submission deadline March 6th!

    Are you the kind of talented person who is gifted with the ability to make a couple of tiny pixels look like art?

    Can you do it better than me?

    Spoiler for Aik's horrible concept art













    Then you and your work is exactly what we need!


    The Competition TWC is looking for an icon for our latest Award, the TWC Milestone:

    Small Awards
    TWC Milestone To qualify for the Milestone award, the nominee must have been a member of TWC for at least ten years, with a minimum of ten thousand posts and must have posted within the last 30 days prior to nomination.

    Nominations shall be sent to the Curator, who verifies them and forwards valid ones to an Administrator.


    The general theme of the look of the award should be fitting to the style of TWC's other awards, the format must be .png with transparent background and the award needs to come in two sizes: 50*50 pixels and 25*25 pixels.

    Other than that you're completely free to let your imagination play.

    Please post your submissions here. The deadline for submission is the 6th of March. After that we'll set up a vote to determine the winner.

    Prices

    - 1st place is honored with having his icon displayed as the TWC Milestone Award - and receives 50 reputation points.

    - Runner-up will receive 25 reputation points.

    - All other users whose submissions make it into the vote will receive 5 reputation points (once).



    We're eager to see your submissions, good luck and have fun everybody!

    Hi!

    I have done some icons for the milestone award based in the milestone idea itself and the new sword or gladius award for 10 years in TWC that GrnEyedvl has created and you can see here

    This is the main idea. Mixing the milestone with the sword we get the Excalibur concept. So when passing the 10 years and 10000 post represented by the milestone with the X and the line up, which means ten thousand in Roman numbers, they receive the sword that they have achieved when reaching the ten years milestone.

    The main image I have worked is this, then I have reduced it to the 50-50 size, the 25-25 size and made it a bit clearer, if not it goes too dark in TWC.




    Version A, milestone with sword.

    This is 50-50 pixels size:




    This is the 25-25 pixels size:



    Version B, milstone with sword and grass.


    This is 50-50 pixels size:




    This is the 25-25 pixels size:










    A test to see how it shows within the other awards:

    Version A:







    Version B:






    With the adequate background:






    Version A has more strength. Version B adds more color to the idea.

    Well, if it is not possible to submit the two versions, just let me know and if you prefer any of them to the other too.

    This is my good action of the day, tomorrow maybe I am not so good.

    Good luck to the other participants and have a nice contest.

    Ah! I forgot credits:

    Aikanár and Halie Satanus for the award idea.

    GrnEyedvl for he sword award idea.

    If any other has anything to do with the original ideas just let me know to credit here too.

    Thanks Aik! I had it done two days ago, but different size 49-42 pixels, so I made them to 50 and that was it. I hope more contestants join in!

    I hope so too!

    With regards to the postbit display examples you've posted, you need to put the 25*25 pixel version in there in order to get an impression of how it will look among the other awards. The 50*50 pixel version is displayed in the award section on the profile page.

    Yes I see the 25 25 I posted is too small and the profile I have seen has the bigger version much bigger. I do not know what is wrong now I will test what is it.

    No problem, you can always edit your submissions further, what will count is their version on March 6th when the submission phase ends.

    I'm planning on creating several closely related concepts for this medal. Each of these concepts will be regarded as a separate entry, isn't it?

    Yep Max, they are - although now that you mention it, we probably will restrict the 5 rep per entry voted in as much as that a user can only receive the 5 reps once, regardless of number of entries - just to avoid possible, eh, issues

    As in the original thread:

    Strikes me though quite a lot of the award images are 37x37, so I included one of those.

    Yes, there are, but small awards are 25*25 max. 37*37 is for medium sized awards.

    Well, I'm a bit inexperienced with finding the correct location, so I got a little help from a friend
