Contest: Stats Signatures

[Senthryl]

That's right, when we release the SFE statistics pages, we will also be including the option to generate custom signatures for use in forums, which automatically update themselves with the newest stats.

As part of the generation, you can select which style with which you want the signature to be displayed.  We currently have two styles complete, but we need more.  So, we're turning to YOU!

The contest:
Make a new style for the automatic Savage stats signatures.  Create a variety of different styles (sizes and text positions), and different backgrounds for each.

The prize:
The winning submissions will be featured as selectable styles for all users on the stats page!   Your name will appear when the style is selected.  You can also embed your name in the style background if you wish.  You will also get permanent credit as a custom stamp on your SFE stats page.

The rules:

• You must submit your images before the deadline of Thursday, August 09, 11:59 PM GMT
  
• You must submit a sample image (with stats and username), as well as a base image (background without stats or username).  Submit one sample and one base for each style / background you submit.
• The sample image must include: a username, a clan tag, a clan icon, and at least 2 stats.
• The images must be no larger than 441x110.
• You must include all custom fonts in your submission.  These fonts must be in TrueType Format (*.ttf).
• You may only use the stats posted below in your sample.
• Your clan icon used in the sample must be 18x18 pixels.
• You must use a realistic username, clan tag, and stats in your sample.
• You must accommodate for large usernames or stats in your design.
• You can't steal it from somebody else (duh).
• You must understand that your work, if accepted, may be modified.
• You must release your work into the public domain upon submission.  If not possible by law, you must grant license for anyone to use your work in any way, including the creation of derivative works.  By submitting your work to this contest, you must agree to these terms.
  

Submission:
Simply reply to this topic and post your images.  Attach any custom fonts to your post.  You can submit as many times as you want!

Stat pool:
You may use any of the following stats in your samples (in order of preference):

Kills, Deaths, Playtime, Level & Title (all one stat, see samples), Longest Killing Spree, Sadists, Homewreckers, NPC Kills.

Sample Styles:
Here's the styles which we already have, for your reference:

Good luck!

really nice exzeth

[Senthryl]

Excellent work so far guys! 

ZealoTT: Yes, that's exactly the format that we need.

Also, there's been some concern that you won't be attributed for your work.  THIS IS NOT THE CASE!  You will (A) be recognized as the winner of the contest, (B) have your name displayed whenever your style is selected and, (C) get a permanent credit on your Savage stats page under your title.

Also, if you feel so concerned about the attribution, feel free to embed your username inside the signature so that it will appear on every signature using it.

Additionally, if the "public domain" scenario frightens you, feel free to release the image under a Creative Commons license, providing that it allows for derivative works.  If you do release under a CC license instead of public domain, you'll need to explicitly state that in your submission, as well as which license you're using.  The only reason that we need you to do this is because when we generate the signatures we will technically be modifying your work, so we have to keep it legal

Keep up the good work guys!

Certain Issues:
if I have a very long name, all tags will be fucked up
how long is the longest title?

[SGT.snake]

if your name is longer than UnnamedNewbie(23) then your silly 

[-EskiMo-]

yeah we should try to make somethimg longer :p

[Senthryl]

how long is the longest title?

The longest possible title is 32 characters.  As for whether or not anybody has ever gone remotely close to that, I don't know.
