Post your art for the LOGD contest here!
We need 2 pieces of art, one to replace the dragon & circle that appears on the Yarbrough login page (this is apparently copyrighted and we need to replace it), and another to put on LoGD merchandise that we'll start offering in the near future. Post your art here, or if you don't know how to do that, you can email it to me at logd@mightye.org, and I'll post it here for you.
A few rules:
• You can post a low res or watermarked version of the image to the forum, so long as you have a version available if you win the contest that meets the rest of the requirements.
• For the merchandise art, please make sure you have a high resolution version of the image available to us. Ultimately it should be able to be cleanly blown up to at least somewhere around the size of a sheet of US Letter paper. Vector based art gets extra credit!
• For the login art, it should not be larger than 250x250 pixels (if you're a little bigger but close, that'll be ok).
• For the login art, it should be able to have a transparent background so that it ties in with the existing theme well.
• For merchandise art, you may choose to provide merely art, or art and text as a whole. If you elect to add text, please provide the LotGD.net web address (http://LotGD.net) within the text.
• You may submit as many entries in either category as you wish. You may not possess two "ranks" in any one category though (eg, you cannot be both Grand Prize and Second Prize winner for the login art, though you might rank in both login art and merchandise art).
A few legalities:

Credit for the art will be given to you, and you may sign the art visibly (your signature will be preserved in any merchandise)
