Abduzeedo Icon Group Contest
Hey everybody, I’m really happy to announce the Abduzeedo’s first contest, it's going to be for the icon of our flickr group. Firstly I’d like to thank Pikkus for the idea, Némida for the texts, and the other members that supported the idea: Arnaud Alves, bluebomberc , >FERN, Dy™, fergville..
The most important thing in this contest is to try and play with the tools and the theme, like a motivation.
Theme: Abduction, outer space, aliens abduction, stuff related to abduction. As a signature 'Made in Abduzeedo'.
Tools: Any vectors, bitmaps program, photos... even a paint made with watercolour and photographed then...
Format: Icons statics or animated.
Size: 512x512 px or even less, but the icon has to work really well when we use the 48x48px size.
Time: 3 weeks to submit your work from May 9th to May 30th. After that we will vote ;)
Way of sending: Submit your work to the Abduzeedos’ group on flickr with the tag “abduzeedo icon”. After that leave a comment attaching the icon using the html code that's generated when you view it in "all sizes". You can even tell us the process, which program did you use, etc...
Example:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/azeected/2476804398/" title="James White rules by abduzeedo, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2185/2476804398_56651f49cb_o.jpg" width="550" height="733" alt="James White rules" /></a>
Ways to vote: We’re still thinking about the best way to choose the winner, the idea is that everybody will be able to vote. We have some options but if you have a better idea please let us know. Our ideas are:
- By a second post
- You have to write nick's artist and title's icon
- You can vote up to two icons, never the same artist
- You have to tell us why did you pick that icon
- You can't vote to yourself
Prizes:
- Winner: 1 Flashloaded 3D Wall Component, $175 Credit to use on Markup4U, 1 Favicon Slot on Abduzeedo, for 3 months.
- 2nd: 1 Flashloaded 3D Wall Component, 1 Favicon Slot on Abduzeedo for 2 month
- 3rd: 1 Flashloaded 3D Wall Component, 1 Favicon Slot on Abduzeedo for 1 month

I like the work from "Matthias | Season Zero". Great Artwork!
Done in paint.NET
I had a great idea, i hope i have the knowledge to do it.
visit my blog and my site.
I thought I'd join in. :) The larger image isn't really compelling but I was gunning for a good 48X48 version. Love jarodge's work, pikkus first entry and designnerd's second.
Here's mine.
Heres my second entry

Hello, My first idea for the contest !
My first version
Abduction brings blood, sometimes..
Here are my submissions. But for some reason they do not appear in the group gallery :(
I think many of your pictures are great, but almost all of you forgot to think about, how the picture will look when it will be compressed down to 48x48 px :)
Here is mine, it comes to the point.
Im sorry sorry, Fabio delete y preview comment! Thx
Here's good link one xD
Im such a disaster cry
:D
hope it's not a problem if I made a little modification to my submission. If it's a problem just erase it.
Ciao
Very good idea for a contest :) Voting will be tricky however, they also are in graphic design contests as it's all apart taste and opinion! Here's my entry, click through to see the icon, in 48x48 and the original 480px size
just a bit of slapdash illustrator and ps.
Heres mine!
Hi guys, here is my submission. Hope you all like it. by the way Fabio, your tutorials rock! Thanks man for your great posts and work. I also would like to give credit to http://www.brushes.obsidiandawn.com/ Stephanie always provides great brushsets for photoshop.

Here is my contribution
Good luck to everyone!
And Pikkus, I'm sure the contest will rock too!
GO GO GO !
Cool!
You have to describe such a great big blog in a smally tiny icon, diffcult, huh?
Suerte a todos! ;)
Looks like a great contest. I'll try to submit one. Thx.
Looking forward to craete something, but i'm finding it hard to include all the great things of Abduzeedo into one tiny picture.
But I'm very curious to see the outcome.
Good luck to everyone!
Jeroen (a.k.a. Geronimo or Roendel)
Yup, I had the idea, but the oranization is all yours and Némida's...
I'm sure the icon will ROCK! :-)
The simple fact to make an icon for the group was really great, but here the prizes are :"La cerise sur le gateau" the cherry on the cake.
thanks a lot Fabio!
Great! You have far surpassed my expectations Fabio. I was merely wanting to participate for experience and also a chance to give back to you since you've given so much of your time on tutorials and such. I surely wasn't expecting prizes!!
YOU DA MAN!
Thanks,
Sean
