[CONTEST] Design your own Pizza Avatar

Discussion in 'Past Announcements' started by pimd, May 9, 2014.

  1. Hey guys,

    We hear you on the Pizza Avatars.



    We've got some cool stuff coming down the line for you, but I'd like to apologize that this event and avatars haven't been up to your expected level of awesome.

    This hunt is a lot more chill, almost a micro hunt if you will, and not intended to be as big of a production as the Easter Hunt.

    Our general rule of thumb is the more work it takes you guys, the better the stuff.

    This hunt was originally the same amount of hunt items required with double the time to get them, and then we chopped the required items in half.
    That's 75% easier than the Easter Hunt.

    That said, we seemed to miss the rule of cool on these avatar designs.
    So, what we'd like to do to address that is to let you take a stab at designing your own.

    Here's the deal:

    You'll still get the two pizza avatars as is, but once this contest is done and the new avatar is complete, anyone who received the pizza avatars will get this new one too.


    Contest Details:
    • You have 1 week, May 9th to next Friday May 16th, to submit designs to the submission thread
    • Friday May 16th, we'll repost the Top 10 most awesome ones onto Facebook for voting.
    • It'll be 'Vote via Likes' to determine the final avatar design.
    • Voting cut off will be Monday May 19th , 10 AM PDT.
    Submission Rules:
    • Needs to be Pizza Themed
    • Can be either gender, or Neutral gender, like a mascot
    • Must be your own artwork, no designs based on existing characters
    • Needs to be a drawing (digital is ok, but no comping photos together etc)
    • Must be posted in the submission thread by May 16th
    • You CAN submit multiple entries per person. :)

    Rewards
    The winning submission will be publicly recognized, earn 10 Doctor's Notes, and win their avatar design if they didn't earn the Pizza Avatars during the hunt.


    Note:
    The winning design will be inspiration for a brand new avatar, built from scratch.
    We may need to tweak some of it to ensure it fits with the art direction of the app, but we'll be true to the core design idea and do out best to make it sufficiently awesome.
     
  2. Lol, guys, submission thread is for art submissions, this thread is for the discussion.
     
  3. ?Sounds interesting. I can't draw, so I'll just stalk this thread to see the other awesome drawings.
     
  4. Pimd could you sticky my thread?

    K and Q of May 2014?

    I know i'm off topic
     
  5. No problem. Stickied.
     
  6. In my opinion, is not they they aren't cool or awesome?as a matter of fact, I think the male avatar is cool just would've been better if the female avatar was cool alsobut I guess what people don't like is just that this will be the second time you guys change the clothing of avatars already existing.
    About the hunt being easy, you could've informed us about your ideas for the avatars like you did right nowMAYBE, that's a big maybe, people wouldn't have been as disappointed.

  15. Sorry I posted my question on the wrong thread  how many times can I enter? 
     
  16. You can enter as many times as you want actually. If you've got cool ideas, go for it.
     
  17. Yes, this is correct.
    You get the original Pizza Avatars PLUS the Community Designed one.

    Pimd I have a question, whoever wins this contest, will everyone with 3,000 or more pizza cats be receiving these avatars? 
