Ubisoft SH5 Banner Contest

[cdrsubron7]

Greetings Everyone

Some of you know me and some may not. I am the Moderator of the SH Forums over at Ubisoft and I have come here to invite those of you who have an interest in working with graphics to participate in a SH5 Banner Competition. We are looking for a new banner to be posted atop the SH5 Forum as at the moment all it has is the SH5 banner from the SH5 website.

If you would care to enter the contest you find the rules for entering here (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1121062387/m/1911082138). You may post your entries here (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1121062387/m/5711082138).


Edit to add important info:

Well, somebody listened at Ubisoft. I'm happy to announce that the winner of the SH5 Banner Contest shall receive a free copy of SH5.

Nice to see that someone's good work will be appreciated after all. :yeah:

[Letum]

please guys lets not shoot the messenger here, cdrsubron7 is just passing on info about an activity that some of our members may want to participate in so lets remember its a link to join in a sh5 banner contest and not an invitation to complain about sh5.

[karamazovnew]

Wohoo! :rock: I'm not gonna miss this one :rock:

[HundertzehnGustav]

sounds like Ubisoft is running out of ideas/has no clue how to do a banner for their own forums, and they are staging this "contest" for us to fill the gap...

The winning entry will be hosted and displayed within this Silent Hunter 5 forum*

painting/photoshopping something for a big company... no free SHV tshirt? nothing? I mean... that banner is a piece of publicity, for ubisoft. Doing something like that costs time, and brings nothing to the artist, yet feeds the evil corporation.
Its all about the fame?

And frankly, considering my own opinion about their politics...

*shuts up to avoid brig time*

[Webster]

i think its as simple as just trying to offer distractions to get the customer base talking about other things besides the DRM and its also a nice idea to boot.

nobody felt the conning tower emblem was done because they couldnt think up emblems of their own so how is this any different?

[HundertzehnGustav]

well this one is different, defnitely.
The coning tower contest was a cool idea because it gave the fans of the series a piece of work they could contribute the construction of the game.
The emblems will be in the game, and its creator credited with his work. Cited in the readme files and such.



the banner, that is a piece of publicity for ubisoft products...
the creator gets nothing but a banner on a forum he possibly never visits.:timeout:
a Shirt would be nice in return, or a Coffee cup with the SHV logo or something.

A shirt with the dev teams autographs, that for example would be SUUUCH a motivator!!!!:rock::rock::o:o:rock::rock:

The way i read this:
The messenger basically asks us to do publicity for ubisoft, and that makes me "wonder"... :hmmm:

Back in the day i helped a flight sim producer translate some menues, and what did i get? a CD with the product... for 10 minutes wof work.
(Firepower expansion for CFS3):yeah:

[Webster]

well this one is different, defnitely.


ok, i conceed your point :up:

and IMO and especially in this PR environment a gold copy of sh5 should be the reward for the winner and that would definately get possitive interest

[mookiemookie]

I agree. While the publicity of having your work grace the header of the SH5 Ubi forum is nice, I think a small token prize...copy of the game, tshirt, autographed copy, etc, would be a nice way of saying "thank you and good work."

[Onkel Neal]

Banners are good! :yeah:

[Adriatico]

I can make a dozen of banners... but I will put them on my server so they have to log in - every time they want to use them... and guess what - they can access that from every PC!

Isn't it great...? It's called... well you know:03:

Just an FYI for everyone, I have been pushing for some kind of prize for the winner of the banner contest, nothing so far has been mentioned.

You got that right.
and you retain the right to change the banner files to whatever you like.

-with a sub
-with a nekked lady
-with a Stone grave for their (3letters)

...and you make them pay royalties too!

Top notch idea!

[kaptkirkU4467]

If i make a great banner...UBI must have a 24/7 hookup to MY PC to use it.

Don't know, all I was told was a free copy.

[Onkel Neal]

If only I had some art skills. :wah:

Ok, let's keep this thread on topic, please.

[SeaStorm]

No matter what, i'm into this UBI contest, for the fun of it.

Back here, this time i would like to participate and give some of my help
to mod SH5, with models, GUI, textures, or virtual coffees... cause i feel
i was like kind of spoon-fed with all that great modding work done with GWX and stuff.
I am a 2D/3D freelance Artist, (no web site yet!) and i can tell i learn alot from all that i am withnessing :up:

Hey webster, that link is broken. UBI's moderator said he is aware of the problem, and he will try to fix it soon.
However, seems his boss is out for the day, and since we're Friday, we're in trouble.
He said not to worry and that an extension is more likely. Check out UBI's contest thread to make sure:

:shucks:

[Nisgeis]

Hmmm, that's a different filename and it's 6 meg too small :hmmm:.

[The Enigma]

I cancelled my preorder :)
So who will now compare the (p)review release with the production release??

[Webster]

Thanks Webster, but when I click on 'Download' I get a new page saying the file has expired. Have you downloaded it?


sorry :oops:, no i didnt download it i just went to the download page


i wasnt interested in the contest so i didnt actually try to download it

OMGWTF is the periscope up? WHY IS THE PERISCOPE UP when the sub is SURFACED?!?!11?

Someone must have painted an external screenshot of mine as I've forgotten to lower my periscope on more than one occasion in my haste to surface and gun some poor SOB to Davy Jones' Locker. :)

[frau kaleun]

So who will now compare the (p)review release with the production release??

I think he was just replying in jest to a previous post of mine about not buying a completely different and in fact non-existent game. Not talking about SH5. :DL

[Onkel Neal]

Just joking :woot:

Not really. I've seen the rest of the forum. :O:

[Nisgeis]

Hmmm, deadline is still tomorrow and the original art work is still AWOL. Oh well.

[Heretic]

Link at the UBI forum works for me:

http://www.filefront.com/15634681/sources_sh5.zip/

[Nisgeis]

That's a different file. It's 6 meg smaller, hosted on a different file host server (filefront, not YouSendIt) has a different file name and matches the 'press kit' released earlier. It contains a series of 'SH5: Available March' type banners.

[cdrsubron7]

Was the original size of the download around 35.1 MB? The file that is loaded now was taken from the link Neal Stevens provided from this thread. ms-kleaneasy was the one who originally uploaded the origional file, no myself.

[Nisgeis]

Erm, no, it was 15 meg. The file the link now points to is 9 meg... what's this 35 meg file? :D

[SeaStorm]

Yes, the original file is 15 MB.

There are not much useful things inside this file, except for the
SilentHunter5 logo that i extract from one of the *.PSD files.
That's the only thing i use out of it.

[cdrsubron7]

I'm sorry, but I don't have the correct file then. I will contact ms-kleaneasy and ask her to upload the file again.. Sorry about this.

[SeaStorm]

For those who would like to know, the entry deadline has been extended: :sunny:
