zircon Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 As some of you may know, I am part of a sample library developer called Impact Soundworks. We produce virtual instruments for composers and producers. One of our most popular libraries to date has been Shreddage, an electric guitar designed for rock and metal rhythm playing. It has been so successful that we created an expansion pack (Shreddage X) and now, we're working on a matching electric bass library. I'm looking for someone to create the product logo/art for this new bass library which will be called "Shreddage Bass". This is an instrument that will also be oriented toward rock and metal, but the art doesn't need to be so close to the original Shreddage library (with the flames and stuff). Here are the details: * Your entry should be square, and at least 1200x1200 in resolution (higher is fine.) For example: zirconstudios.com/filedump/ShreddageX%20Final.png * The logo should include the product title "Shreddage Bass" prominently. It should also include a smaller subtitle, "Picked Edition". * The product title should be apparent if the logo is resized to 900x340. This is size of the logo as it will appear on our website, eg: http://www.impactsoundworks.com/wp-content/themes/isw/images/shreddageX.jpg * You may use stock art/photos, original art, stock fonts and any other resources as long as you have LEGAL access to them. * The winning entry should be submitted with the PSD file. We'll ultimately want a JPG for the website. If you browse our website you'll see our other product logos. What you create shouldn't be TOO different stylistically, but of course use your best judgment. The winner will have their art used for the product and will be credited in the product manual. We'll give you any three ISW libraries of your choice plus $100. Submit entries either here or email them to admin@impactsoundworks.com. Deadline is December 1st. Have at it!

PROTO·DOME Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Do you have a link to the font used? I'm thinking it would give the product a cohesive 'identity' if the same fonts were used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 I thought about that actually, but since we released our original Shreddage libraries, another company has used that same font. So we kind of feel like it is getting overused a bit. We might be releasing one or two more bass libraries in this same family too, so giving them their own font is probably best.

Meteo Xavier Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 You shouldn't worry too much about the same fonts getting used. It's become and continues to become more and more the standard for highly recognizable fonts to be used in all kinds of commercial products. It's about to drive me batshit crazy, personally, but thats counter-intuitive to my point. Don't mess with a working system. And ***dammit, I can't find a metal bass guitar image I can legally use to save my life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansAndrew Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've been looking at the contest, but the ROI of entering VS. my free time is such right now that i'll have to pass. I do encourage all of the designers to do some awesome work though, and help out MY BRO, Zircon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
