"I'm too cheap to hire a graphic designer" paintball.

I thought the same thing, then i thought 'why not make it fun...'

But honestly, if you told us a name you liked, and some colors and such, we could pump out some good logos, publications, etc.

it has a nice ring to it.

[STR8 RIPPIN]

Its not that I'm to cheap its simply just trying to get people involved.Make fun if you wish or don't post.I already have 3 web designers and graphic designers on my paintball team already.Getting them to do it would be no big deal.I just thought this would be fun to see what crazy things people can come up with.So post what you will.

Here's mine, and as a professional graphic designer, $200 is not enough money (but yet I made one anyway, go figure).

Edit; click on it to make it bigger, it looks better bigger, I'm not sure why it comes in so small.

[mcdkid]

can be cleaned up, and more work time done. here is the basic idea-

SORRY SHIROW,

ALL THE COOL ONES LIKE DIGITALGUNFIRE.COM WERE TAKEN.

Does that even make an ounce of sense.Digitalgunfire??????

But hey thanxs for posting .

HEY THAT WAS A GREAT RETORT I WILL GIVE YOU $200 IF YOU LET ME USE IT!!!

I'll tell you the story, if you like, since you seem so interested.

So, back in the year 2001, I was creating an Internet radio station (all by myself, I didn't even pay somebody $200 to help me!) and I needed a name.

I was planning to play industrial/ebm music (yes, it's all electronic bleeps and it all sounds the same and they don't play any real instruments and I'm probably one of those guys who bats for the other team because I don't listen to Black Sabbath or whatever is cool amongst rednecks nowadays) and I needed a fitting name for the station. So, my friend and I were listening to Atari Teenage Riot at the time, both somewhat drunk, and we listened to the song 'The Future Of War'.

And my friend was ALL LIKE - DUDE. YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE OF WAR IS?

And I said, nuclear bombs or some such thing?

And he was ALL LIKE. No. DUDE. DIGITAL GUNFIRE!!!

And I was like.. O WORD.

So then it was born. So I was just curious, how will this $200 prize be paid out? PayPal? Money order? Paintballs? I would just like to share with you why I am so unbelieving of your wonderful idea:

As I'm sure you are aware, being a high powered businessman and all, having random people on the Internet create logos for your new business is probably not going to turn out for the best. You say you have graphic designers working for you - I'm slightly bemused as to why you wouldn't have a professional create a professional name and image for you if you actually want to make any money. If the only reason is that you would have to pay them, then gg for you.

Typically I would think this is some troll thread but I don't really see the punchline (unless it will end with HAHA I MADE YOU GUYS SPEND 12 MINUTES MAKING SOME TEXT BASED LOGO FOR ME IN WINDOWS PAINT OWNED) in which case I'm not sure anybody is really going to be terribly upset.

What do I know though?

[STR8 RIPPIN]

contest will end October 18th that is a wednesday.The winner will be posted Friday the 20th I then will contact him/her via email and setup payment via paypal,check or moneyorder whish ever they prefer.If it is check or money order I will overnight it to them.

[STR8 RIPPIN]

Shirow there is no punch line the contest is simple.And yes once I find a name that I like I intend to make any necessary changes to the logo.Hey say what you want I don't care dude.I think the contest is a great idea if you don't who cares look at another thread;better yet go listen to some digitalgunfire.Listen some people have taken alot of time to come up with there ideas,alot of work to get the logo.Don't start posting stupid crap making people feel bad.We get it your not into the contest so stay out keep your stupid little comments to yourself dude.Listen I'm not into this thing to make an @$$ load of money like the majority of people are that is the whole problem with paintball.I want to make a field effordable for people to come play at, not to sell paint to them marked up triple the price as they initually bought it for.Paintball is an awesome sport and a loads of fun.I just want people to remember that.
As I stated before the winners name logo will be posted here for all to see and I will contact them for payment.However they prefer.This is no scam no joke, there is no hidden punch line.This contest is real and I hope people take it that way.This contest not only helps me but it helps the people entering,maybe they will find something out about themselfs a hidden talent.But either way its for real

Good luck in your endeavour.

Once again thanks for entering in the contest.

[don miguel]

how about THE BATTLEFIELD paintball park, "where heroes are made". and for the proshop, how about THE ELITE BARRACKS, or just ELITE BARRACKS. I think that if it is going to be a cool paintball place it should have a military theme. Like ghillie on the walls. :cheers: good luck dale!

[don miguel]

I have another suggestion, You should support, sell, and service automags. Very few people do it, thats why it would be good. Mabe have a few emags in the store if they sell grow the veriety of AGD markers and parts. If they sell keep growing. If automags don't work for you then dont hurt your buisness, but I think you should service and repair them.

-don

[warbeak2099]

Battlefield Park is a cool name but "Elite Barracks" is really awkward. If you're going to use a military theme, use a real military term. Like maybe the Armory. Or perhaps the Wardroom for like a lounge area. Hey if you had a restaurant connected you could call it the chow hall!

good point

[STR8 RIPPIN]

I have has some very cool military related names come in but no logos thats a problem.I can't see giving the prize just for a name.They must have a logo.

Very good point about the guillie suits though thats a great idea.The location I have is a good one but instead of putting up a BUILDING.I will have huge army tents.More military feel! And at the command posts they will have military tents as well instead of those stupid pop up ones.


BUT THANKS FOR POSTING AND THE COUNT DOWN IS ON!!!!!


ONLY 11 days to go

and P.S. there is a guy on my team who is totally into mags its crazy.I'mhoping if any mags come my way he will be more than happy to repair them!!!
( he's accutually working on one I bought right now)

[AZ_09]

If you do pick a title, like Predator Paintball, id check and see if its not copyrighted by Tag(isnt that the company that makes the board?). Tag might have a copyright on the Predator name in paintball. Or is that not how copyrights work?

heres some that arent that great
- Need For Speed Paintball "NFS paintball" for short
- Quiet Rush Paintball
- Shock and Awe(sp?)
- Live-Wire



I dont have photoshop or anything good to work with for logos. But hey, maybe the ones i thought of will give you ideas for something good. Maybe ill think of something good during a test or something soon. Good Luck

Web addresses are still available for all these company names. Simply add a .com at the end of any of those titles. I have a few more ideas, but this is at least a start. If you give me an idea of which you like so I can focus more on that one over the others. Or if you like the look of one, but want the name of another to be with it I can do that. Let me know what you think and again sorry for the delay.
