Look at them, ugly as a very ugly thing. You could almost believe they'd been knocked up in 5 minutes in psp.

Anyway, design me a new logo, perhaps keeping the screwdriver theme (perhaps not, do what you want with the logo) and you shall be richly rewarded with my undying gratitude erm...points.
Yes, you can have them all because I sure as hell dont want em. 178 at the time of writing.

I was thinking on the train home 'what can I offer people that I dont really want, is fairly crappy but that some people love?' The answer was obvious.

And just to sweeten the deal, I’ll be adding my points too. So that’s about a total of 500 big ones you could walk away with!

Yes, I too shall contribute my credits toward this noble cause. Providing of course, that the logo is good, and is snapped up by Benny.

How can anyone resist now? Thats 828 points.

Thats enough for a change of username, a glowing username and this Beautiful Old Staffordshire Minature Mug (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2616061634&category=)

I'll match however many points are offered up by people in this thread, because I haven't abused my powers in well over an hour.

And just to make this even more irresistible, I’m going to give the full version of Grom (worth over thirty quid or so) to the best one! Providing it’s better than the already existing captions of course. What’s Grom I hear you cry? Well:

"Grom is a truly epic game by developers Rebelmind that will provide players with loads of pure adventure, a slice of humour, and a touch of mystery to arouse the imagination. It's an aadventure game combining an in depth storyline and tactical real-time combat. It’s easy to get into and combines a powerful interface with a blockbuster movie feeling."

But is it any good?

WWHS gave it 4/5 (http://wwhs.fangames.co.uk/grom-review.shtml)!)
PC Gamester gave it 81% (http://www.pcgamester.co.uk/showreview.php?gamename=grom&page=1)!)

The answer is yes! So you could win that too. Get logo designing, pronto.

I'm wondering if the use of the Golden Guy should be avoided in the Q+E logo, since that is probably some sort of infringement.
 bgbennyboy
02-24-2003, 3:44 PM

Hmm maybe, then again ScummRev ripped off golden guy and got away with it. On balance its probably better not to use it.

Gabez's offer of that Grom thing almost made me put in an entry myself.

Then I thought, nah.

I'll offer my points to the winner as well, however many of the damn things I have.

(EDIT: 61! How can you resist?!)

Incidentally, this thread has caused me to click on so many "new window" image links that scrollbars have appeared on my Windows taskbar for the first time ever - well, without me deliberately opening billions of things, that is.

I'll toss in my hundred whatever points, too, however I require that the logo be an animated gif.

Hell, I'll give a hundred points to the first person to post an animated logo that isn't total crap.

Here's my ridiculous first attempt. Its main faults are that it has nothing to do with LEC or being a tool/utility program, both of which should negate it from the race. Its main strong point is that it is shiny, and looks sorta like an old movie or cereal title.

My approach is very simplistic. Anyway, I need the points so badly... not. The contest is fun and therefore I will donate my points to the winner and try to come up with something better.

Meh... I uploaded the bmp file, because the JPG compression in Paint is sucky (yes, I made it in Paint). It's probably illegal to steal borrow things from the LEC site, but what the heck: http://www.geocities.com/haggisnl/quick_easy.bmp) (If the link doesn't work, type a space after it and try again.)

Heh, thats a good one Scabb! Mine were attempts at serious ones that, well, failed. I'll upload them, as soon as this DAMN ftp loads up.

edit:
Still having problems with the FTP, so I uploaded them to geocities.

attempt 1 (http://www.geocities.com/lucastones/lecqae.jpg) )
attempt 2 (http://www.geocities.com/lucastones/lecqae2.jpg) )
(as its geocities, you need to put a space at the end of the URL after the link is opened.)

I don't really think either of them have been done too well, but what can ya do? Meh.
