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:

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

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:

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
