yoshi Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Welcome, one & all, to what I think is the first ever Gamesbids Commonwealth Games logo design competition! We have a lot of talent here on our boards, & I thought it would be fun to give you a slightly different challenge to take on. I must give credit to Sir Rols, the current king of comp organising, who's given me his blessing to tread on his patch . Now, I know that a lot of people on here, including our current SOG logo champ, Danny, aren't in the Commonwealth, so may be unfamiliar with the so-called 'Friendly Games'. This is for you: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_Games So, I said the format would be a change, & here, you have a choice of 7 Commonwealth cities to make a logo for, & you can make a logo for as few or as many of them as you want, here they are, the cities: Wellington, New Zealand After Auckland twice & Christchurch once, NZ's capital wants its CWG chance at last. Canberra, Australia The Aussie capital wants to shed its image of a stuffy political city, what better than CWG to do it? Abuja, Nigeria It's Africa, but not South Africa. Abuja wants our help to design a less awful logo than its 2014 bid. Singapore, umm...Singapore It's going to happen eventually, but how would you brand a Singapore CWGs? Bristol, England The under-known southwest of England is looking to show itself, but how would you represent it? Cardiff, Wales Another near-inevitable future host of the CWG, but how would you show Wales to the world? Winnipeg, Canada AFAIK, the prairie provinces have never bid, but how would you show that they're more than wheat? So, they're the magnificent 7, feel free to do whatever you like, as I say, we have some amazing talent here, I'm sure we'll see some incredible submissions. THE RULES You can enter only one logo for each city. You may enter a logo for as many of the cities as you like, just 1 or all 7, it's up to you. You have until the end of the Sochi WOG to submit, the deadline is the 23rd February, with voting starting on the 24th. So plenty of time for you to get involved. When the voting begins, all logos will be up against each other, in a Eurovision-style vote, which will be open for 1 week. More details on that when it starts. So, I think that's everything, all that's left is to say good luck, & may the best logo win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony E Loves Architecture Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Done. Inspired by Severn Bridge. As a Londoner, I have never stayed in Bristol but, I have been over the Severn Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tickle Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I wish they would re-design the CGF logo, it's rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palette86 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 @palette, you can choose as many or as few as you like, from just 1 up to the whole 7. Choose and then do I create logos? I don't think I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshi Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 That's fine Palette, as I say, you (anyone who wants to take part) can pick 1, 2, 3, whatever, right up to all 7 cities, to design a logo for. There's plenty of time, & every logo I get will go straight into voting on Feb 24th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yoshi, thank you for the link, but I will not join this comp. I'm a bit busy now, but I wish good luck for you and the entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'll enter this one. Only problem is I can't draw a lion for my life.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 My entry so far. Drawing that lion was a serious bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I suppose we're talking about a bid logo, am I correct? Or an actual games one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Spent all day on this haha. (yeah pretty embarrassing this is the best I could do) Anyway the basic part is the marina bay sands hotel with the 3 hotels being combined by the large ship on top. If you haven't heard of it before you have to google it, it is stunning and the infinity pool on top is amazing! In the first hotel there is the Singaporean flag. In the second hotel is the lion head which is an alternative national symbol of Singapore (thank you wikipedia). And the third hotel contains Sinapores national flower the "Vanda "Miss Joaquim"". I also drew th CGF logo. Everyone was drawn by me and not pasted from the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tickle Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 When I think Bristol I think of the Balloon Festival and the Clifton Suspension Bridge, as there is a bridge in the running already I went with the balloons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Morning all, some new entries here, keep'em coming . 2022 was going to be the year, I see that's been decided democratically though @LD, this is a games logo comp, just like our Olympic ones, but Darwin 2026 doesn't really fit Why not have a go at some of the cities though, you'll come up with a good logo I'm sure BTW, I'm not taking part, as Rols doesn't in his logo comps.

Palette86 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Wellington,Cardiff and Bristol. I've been mistaken. I thought we all had to select city or cities first. I don't think I can create these 3 logos or even 1 logo. I'll be a spectator this time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Sorry! I just assumed it was 2022 cause it is the next games to have a bid announced haha. I've been mistaken. I thought we all had to select city or cities first. I don't think I can create these 3 logos or even 1 logo. I'll be a spectator this time . The first post says a choice between 7 cities Wellington Canberra Abuja Singapore Bristol Cardiff Winnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshi Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yup, you can choose only 1, go crazy & do all 7, or anything in between. If you want to keep it real, like Rols's comps, pick any 2. It's all up to you, & everything goes into the vote. And thanks Darcy for bumping the list of cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Davey. I must admit, I'm not good a drawing, so I took the easy option. Good luck everyone. Spent all day on this haha.
