Possible Design Contest for JF Artists?
 

Hello Japan Forum artists and everyone else!

We were thinking about possibly having a contest to create a logo/header for a future Japan Forum related site. Once we get the Virtual Japan wiki all fixed up and some more articles in place (someday soon I hope), we are planning to work on another new site, VisualKei.com. It won't be a huge site, at least not at first, but will probably just use article data taken from the Virtual Japan Wiki to show info on Visual Kei bands, artists, history, etc.

But, right now the site is just sitting there with no design and no logo or anything. Nothing exciting! So, I know there are some amazing artists here, many of you have dA profiles and all of that, so maybe it would be cool to have a contest to create a logo or some sort of graphics for the future VisualKei.com website? It seems a waste to have a cool domain like VisualKei.com sitting there looking so ugly!

What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? No one cares?

Remember, this is not a contest thread, just a thread to discuss the idea of possibly having a contest.

I think its a good idea, so about the logo, do you include banners?

i like the idea, any ideas wot the site will be based on after all the wikki information has been used up?

i think (of course i agree with everyone on making a contest) but instead of making it Visual kei, it should be more like Japanese related bands, Like theres more then just Visual kei, There is Oshare kei, and Eugoru (sp) so theres more then just Visual Kei bands out there. I dont know if anyone gets waht im saying


anywho... i think i would so join in that contest. I would be fun!

Great idea for the site, I am not good at making computer arty stuff though lol

me neither, but i think it would attack alot more people right?

Great idea.. i will work on a banner sometime soon :)
