That's why you should keep your submission private until the end. :) So far I don't see a public submission that uses my idea... yet.

Was that the tissue you used to "clean up"? :shifty:

lol

i'll let you know after the winners have been announced :ninja:

(Y) @ mcdave

Some interesting new additions. But I have to ask, - anonymous -, when did Microsoft Paint become real world? dipperski's own is interesting, where did you do that? But what I would like to know, does that qualify as an entry since its just an exact replica of the NeoWin logo? I thought entries must be made from something real world.

Another look at dipperski's, the shadows around the humans look suspicious.

lol i like how last page in the gallery is like 2/3 photoshop

:rofl:

The last three entries (as of this post) are questionable. Not too sure about drawings, that multi-Neowin logo wall is an obvious Photoshop, and WTF at that Paint drawing :laugh:

@McDave: Good one (Y)

I'll probably won't manage to submit my entry any more. If anyone has some time left on their hands you can use my idea:

I was thinking of putting a "dead" woman under a bridge with above her the Neowin logo. It would have been as if the assassin used her blood to leave his mark -> The Neowin logo.

*sigh*

It's pretty easy for us to detect photoshop whether it's visually or looking at file tags etc

Next competition we may have to do something similar but allow photoshops

it wont' matter if i used paint.net to resize the pic right? original was almost 3MB

You were going to kill someone?

Now thats dedication to the competition.

omg :|

that would be a winner tho tbh :p

intoxicated, you do know that those type of snails carry a bacteria that can kill you. I hope you washed your hands properly with disinfectant. I was expecting more creativity at this cusp of the competition ending. Lot of random, typical, predictable stuff. Neowin judges better separate out the compact disc, saucers, fruits and Christmas lights into separate categories and judge the best in those entries.

Coach potato - if that's a joke, let it stay that way.

Contest is now over. :)

The gallery's bugged; it ends at page 8. Temporary workaround is to change the number at the URL to any multiple of 10. There are a total of 128 submissions.

As for my picture, it seems like two other private entires used either one of my ideas. :p Violeta also projected a cardboard cutout of the logo as a shadow. factoid did almost the exact same thing as I did, just with a light painted logo, and I did mines indoors.

My cutout looks extremely rugged, but that's partly intentional. The cardboard was a PITA to cut. At the same time, its rugged appearance makes the logo look freakier. :D

yeah making a lighpainted version of the logo was a PITA as well. I think that I took about 50-60 shots before I got that one, and I took another 20 or so afterwards just in case I could get a better one. Thank god for Remote Assistant software so that I could see the images without having to walk around and look at the camera.

PS: any similarities between our submissions is completely coincidental. I have no recollection of seeing your submission before just now.

That's alright, no hard feelings. :)

At least we weren't part of the crowd who used fruits for the logo :laugh:

    • Yeah I have a Sound Blaster X3 too (bought myself) and that is set up with the 6-channel cable for true surround. BUT Spotify and TIDAL do not support 5.1 SACD formats so I have to use Acoustic Engine for the fake surround. Apparently Apple Music is the only music streaming service with true Atmos/5.1 support.
    • I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.
    • They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)
    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
