An emblem for Newland

Dear Citizens of Newland,
Our city is prospering and the future looks very bright for us. Thus my office has to decided to create a competition to celebrate our beautiful city.
What we want is every able artist to create an emblem for Newland City. It does not have to be very elaborate, but it should be distinctive. A symbol of our independence and our way of life.
Once we have some artworks sent to the office we will choose the one we feel best fits our city.

If you feel you are up to this task please send your work to my office via gridnet.

Zephrem King,
Newland City Mayor

(( OOC: The artist we choose will need to sign a release waiver stating that they agree to have their work displayed in-game. Docaholic recently signed the same form for his icon work, and any other contributors will have to do the same. As a reward, though, your new symbol will be seen in-game and made available on new items incoming to Anarchy Online. =)

We also ask that you please submit all entries as a static jpg/png/gif image, retaining your work files for later - If we choose your entry, we will ask for the work files as to ensure we have the highest quality copy of the image for use in-game.

If you have any further questions, feel free to send me a PM here on the forums. Cheers! =) ))

- Ok Brb. Sit still. I'm just going to draw...Grr..I'm not good at this. Trying again.

Lucetta Phoenix looks over her photographs taken earlier that day. Pleased with her work, she submits the work digitally to Mayor Zephrem King's office, along with a brief description of her idea.

"The image portrays the bold satellite dish with the two iconic Rubi-Kan suns in the background. The dish represents Newland's independence in contrast to Borealis and the unfortunate situation with the dish at that location. The dish also represents a beacon of hope and freedom, and is possibly the most stand-out landmark in the city. I hope you like it.

Love Miss Phoenix xx"

(( url removed for now.. more work and probably a more simplistic design needed ))

Julia stares at her drawingpad, with a pen in her hand.

"This just.. looks.. awful..."

She hits her head to the pad and let's out a long sad sigh.

"Not gonna work... Not at all..."

"Hmm, this'll have to do I reckon. By 'Ka I'm not sure I shoulder enter this...Oh well nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Lasliana attaches the image to a message and sends it to Mayor Toog's office.

"Subject: Newland emblem entry.

Hello
The attached image is my entry.
The arrows pointing in the four directions represent how the city trades in every direction. The shield represents the fact that the city is a bastion of freedom, and the cross how people of all factions cross paths in Newland, as its a place where all are free to visit.

Regards,

Tamara Lasliana McCovery"

Before collapsing back into her seat to start rubbing the ink off her fingers. I bet they dont even like it.

After a long day of many tryouts, Julia snaps out of it.

"Yush! I got it!"

She pulls the pad closer and starts to make out a scetch. Hours passed by, but then...

"Im done! At last, im done! Now just.. a little description..."

Hello!
The picture I made, presents the beauty of Newland. Newland is a independent city, with bad times as good times aswell. But after time, like flowers, Newland will bloom again. No matter how hardly the wind shakes the flower, it will survive way or another, and show it's beauty, giving home for many smaller ones, that need it's shelter.
I hope that you find the right one, that truly presents Newland.

Best hopes, Julia Gilliano

She smiles and sends the file.

There. I cant get it any better no matter how hard i try. I really wish i could draw ...and that Brb could sit still...

Hi.
Been trying to draw what i think would be a good symbol for Newland. My motive was Brb as he seems to always be happy and relaxed.
this is the image i have of newland. A place where you can go when life is hard

Dear Mayor,

Please find attached my submission for your emblem.
Attachment.

Whether or not you feel it is appropriate, will be left at your discretion. I had considered pink.. however Director Ciafardoni scowled at me and said that grey was a much better idea.

With kind regards,

General McChristion

"Oh come on, now..."

Caith taps on the interface, hoping to encourage it to work properly. The delicate chime finally confirms that the file was successfully attached to the message. She nods with satisfaction and runs the encryption to transfer the file through the grid.

"I hope his secretary checks the messages regularly."

She considers the question for a moment, then shrugs it off and sends the file to the Mayor's office. She stands up, then stops.

"...I hope he has a secretary."

I wanted to ask, is this contest real or just roleplaying ?

I'd be willing to enter it if it was real and not a roleplay "gathering"

((Its a real contest re-read Kintaii's post at top. Dont know exactly whether there is a prize besides seeing your emblem ingame splatter across Newland.))

Since we know who really is the power in Newland, I humbly submit this version of Ms. Phoenix' emblem.

((haha))
*Nods* Without a doubt the best one so far.

The real power? *cough*.. yeah, sure if that makes you sleep better at night. Luckily your commanders understand the power structure in the City of Newland, and proper protocol's set forth by your own Board of Directors a bit better than it appears you do Officer.

I do like the graffiti-less version of that though Miss Phoenix.

I hereby represent my work for Newland Emblem.

newland_city_emblem_J16_29484_v1.2

The Emblem was inspired by the unique nature of Newland area and Rubi-Ka's primary sun Animus which both represent Newland's essence in the terraformed north, having a warm-to-hot micro-climate through the year and serving as the capital city and flowering oasis of civilization between wastelands of Mort and dense, inhospitable jungles of Varmint.

Regards, M.
