longam · 10-03-09, 03:15 PM

Ubisoft: we will launch a special contest for the Silent Hunter fans, letting them create “conning tower” emblems that will be featured in the final game. Here are the contest rules that will be posted on our official forums and website, and we would also like to have then posted on the Subsim website/forums if you agree.

1. Create a submarine conning tower emblem respecting the following:
- The emblem must identify itself in the World War 2 era
- No offensive subjects allowed
- The image must be without any background(so it can be applied to the submarine)
2. Save the image to a PNG file, with the resolution 128x128 pixels, 32 bit
3. Send the file to gkane@ubisoft.com
4. The devteam will review each image and make a first selection
5. With the selected images, a poll will be created at a later date and you guys will be able to vote for your favorite one
6. The top 10 voted conning tower emblems will be incorporated into the final game, for everybody to see and use
You have one month to create and send in your images (steps 1-3) starting today, Friday October 2nd , up to Monday November 2nd

Official Announcement on Youtube

Edit by webster to add this new information from ubisoft:

FINAL UPDATE: The submission time is over. Over 150 emblems have been submitted! Good Job! Now it's the dev's turn to make the first selection, and you will be able to start voting for your favorite one starting on the 14th of December!

My money's on Torplexed if he chooses to enter something.

No talent here.

I'll probably catch hell for copyright infringement.

I am working in Photoshop, and I can't save it in 32 bit, only 8 or 16. And if I save for web and devices, I choose PNG-24, would that be OK, or will my entry be discarded?

Thanks for any help

How do you save the .png in 32 bit in Photoshop. Since several of you have sent in images, somebody must know something about it
