Dear Hhampuz, I has pointed out that there may be a mistake in your subject line for the Whirlwind Avatar Contest thread. Specifically, you have mentioned the end date of the contest as March 7th. Can you confirm if this is correct?

Dear Hhampuz,

It's a great offer for me. I find out here a mistake that shows on the subject line of 1st one "Whirlwind.money | Avatar Contest | Create avatars and win BTC | Ends May 7th!" and the 2nd one you wrote, "Whirlwind.money | Avatar Contest | Create avatars and win BTC | Ends March 7th!"

Here the 2nd one shows "Ends March 7th!". It's a mistake. I hope you will check it, and edited.

[Apocollapse]

I think there's should be mentioned if multiple accounts aren't allowed. Someone might think if they have 3 alts, they can submit 9 avatars.

What about a rule of an account registered after this thread was created can't join this contest? this could prevent abusers.

What do you think?

If anyone abuses any of my campaigns or contests with the intent to deceit for financial gain they will be given negative trust and barred from entering anything that I will launch.

@Hhampuz, There should be AI restrictions. Or, Do you want to allow it?
Is it allowed to use non-copyright Free resources from the internet? Such as Icon?
Can I try My Own Made Avatar On My Profile while on The Signature Campaign With Avatar?

Okay,

Then you should have indicated this in the conditions of participation in this avatar contest.

By the way, how are you going to differentiate it?

What a time: now in each contest have to clarify that the results of creativity should be generated by leather sacks humans, and not AI.

Logo Idea Mockup
I liked the Whirlwind logo from the beginning, and I wanted to see if it could be reimagined while still keeping the original feel and style. Branding is so important, and a lot of mixers have pretty basic logos. A logo that looks futuristic and truly professional is a great way to inspire trust. It also says "we're not run by amateur hobbyists with access to photoshop. Whirlwind is backed by serious resources and technological skill."


And downsized to 120 x 80

[nioctib_100]

It would be neat to see if anyone can make a good design and fit the full "Whirlwind Mixer" phrase in the avatar. Since Whirlwind is so new, people don't yet know exactly what it is. An avatar that just promotes "Whirlwind," well, when someone sees that, they think "Is this an exchange? An NFT? An investment service?" In later days, Whirlwind will be known and recognized by name alone, but the reality of today is just that we're not quite there yet.

Even in my submission, I only wrote "Whirlwind" rather than "Whirlwind Mixer." When you're working with only 80 pixels of height, it's hard to fit in two lines of text and a good logo design. If anyone here can do it however, they've got a few merit points from me (although I'm just a random guy) and hopefully the appreciation of those behind the contest as well (who have the actual cash).

Well you have a valid point if Whirlwind only has an Avatar campaign but since the current campaign is Signature and Avatar campaign. The whole info about the mixer will be shown on the signature space which the details is clearly visible.

It is indeed pretty difficult to fit both "Whirlwind" and "Mixer" into such a tight space. I was not able to fit it in my avatar.
In my opinion the Signature display enough information itself though and the avatar should be recocnisable and an eye-catcher.

The point of seeing the signature and avatar over and over again is to build recognition, right?

Nice one. But also try to read the rules of the contest.



The avatar must be 120x80 in size. It's okay that you have shown some demos with large files. But you should also try to make the actual avatar size and present it here so that they can see how it looks in the actual avatar size. otherwise, the manager/team has to ask you for that version. Best of luck to you btw.

Yeah, I was also looking for his submission. The grandmaster of graphic design hasn't submitted his entry. He's the guru and I'm eager to see his creation. Come on Jayce we are eagerly waiting for the entry. It will be our pleasure to see that one!

[jayce]

Lol thank you Little Mouse and SamReomo, I'm pretty confident to create signature design, but avatar is on another level, which it's so challenging to implement your idea on small canvas. I hope you guys join this contest as well Besides the prize, imagine your masterpiece will be used in the campaign and everyone can see it. Good luck guys!

Interested, but I don't have a good level of avatar creation skills. If for participation it would be enough to provide a drawing, a sketch or something like that. That is, the initial idea, which the artists of the whirlwind could already draw in a high-quality way so that the participants in the campaign could immediately add to their signature, I would have joined long ago. And so, there is a certain entry threshold for participation: you must be able to create avatars of at least a good level. If I start trying to do it, it will take forever to create.

This is not a drawing competition, of course, but if the conditions were a little softer, it would attract more people to participate.

You are most welcome buddy! I have submitted my design in the contest. I will be among the lucky ones if my version of avatar succeeds as part of this amazing campaign. I find such activities challenging and it makes me happy to try my best to participate in such challenging tasks. I believe we learn from our mistakes and over time we get better and better. Hope you'll give the avatar thing a try once soon. Thanks!

First Entry:



My idea of this logo is a whirl that absorbs bitcoin and passing it through the stream changes it, make it another. This is the principle of the mixer.

Second Entry:



In this soft-color image, I depicted a translucent whirl of a vortex that looks like the letter "W". It is perceived easily and positively, creating an image of the perception of the mixer.

Third Entry:



This logo is more dark and serious, at the same time it carries the ideas of the Second logo - whirl and "W". I made such a variation so that it would be easier to choose for the judge of the contest by listening to himself perception of the Whirlwind project.

Hi! My entries:

Very good work! I'd love to see more ideas on what a new logo could look like. Again, I'm not affiliated with Whirlwind and I'm not judging the winners, I'm just here giving out merit to my favorite entries. This contest has multiple winners, so no one should be discouraged to apply if they see a couple great entries. Back to your work though, I really like your ribbon W logo a lot. It's a neat new idea.

Thanks for the information.

Welcome to the forums, Hhampuz! It's great to meet a new face here. I'm sure you'll find lots of interesting topics and conversations to jump into. I'm glad you caught that mistake in the post - it's always good to have an extra set of eyes on things like that!

If you don't mind, please who are you exactly? @ WeltZumerr. Are you a representative of whirlwind mixer? Because I consider this statement of yours as a complete off-topic on this matter, as this is an avatar contest, and all that is expected of you is either you summit an avatar, compliment one or better still just visit the thread without saying a word. Thank you

Note: This is not a welcome board

[lucifur]

Would like to try my chances here. I combined the logo and the whirl and put the btc icons to make it look like it is spinning along with the whirlwind.

Is this something like the cap that I designed that has been used before or did you just come up with this?
I am asking because I really like the clean/realistic design and think that it could be used in future avatars aswell

[ChuckBuck]

It's mine   just a small part of the idea to see if it is appreciated by you   this is my first time trying to make a simple design based on available data, please let me know what you think if you find it wrong anywhere  
Wish you have a successful campaign!

Thank you for liking my design! Really appreciate it. As for your question, I haven't seen anyone using incognito hat for avatar yet. And I came up with this idea because of whirlwind's idea of anonymity. And for the cleanliness, it's just tweaks with blendmode. But no magician tells their secret right?
