I think we should have one Grav Awards category this year and it's "Best Grav Awards Logo" - winner MAV. |

im wondering if "player of the year awards" are gonna be made cause there are still some people out there that still actively and competitively play ssx (i.e. me, trey, alpmaster, radical player) (tell me if i missed anyone) |

Holy crap Mav, that would actually make a great site logo...not that my opinion has any bearing! I could definitely count votes this year, if folks trust me with that! Oh, and for new folks like Jack and for the sake of deciding what to use this year, here are the voting categories for the last three years: So yeah, there are definitely some that seem...obsolete? I think the biggest question is what we'll do with the player awards. Seems fair to add back in an "SSX Original Recipe" award since there's been a resurgence in the Original and Tircky scenes thanks to Jack, alpmaster, Krishna, etc. |

It would be a great logo. gondee would be nuts not to use it. (although I have no idea if that's a quick easy change or what?) |

damn Mav that's dope! to be honest I don't think I'd really qualify for any categores this year seeing as though I haven't really been playing SSX as of late. I've been messing aroud on SSX 3 more anyways |

That's a badass logo mav! Although I think if the MC.com logo should be changed it would be better to have a competition where everyone can submit their design suggestions! |

Really like the logo Mav but call me a traditionalist, Id rather not see it changed. That old ass logo suits my old ass classic original style board settings. |

A competition would be cool but do we have anyone on here that can hold to a candle to Mav's stuff. Mav you do this kinda stuff for a living right? graphic design stuff? |

Tunes and Royank are MIA and have been for months and Flexxx is back and there's Mav. |

I'm cool with that if you guys want to arrange that. I've tried many times in the past to design something that would work on many levels, it's tougher than it looks. A site logo needs to accomplish the following: 1) it needs to be able to shrunk down to tiny size and still work. Needs to be able to be reduced to black/white to work with print media (say, if EA put out something with our logo on it or similar.) The Merq City logo is old and busted but it does shrink down nicely and is simple enough to be reduced to one color and still work. It's the original one and I've never found something I cared enough for to do AAAALLLL the work it would take to replace it across all the pages of the site and all the custom art that contains it. (Yes, we use it primarily because it's what we have always used it - that's a large hurdle to overcome.) If you're going to rebrand a site, it needs to be done across more than ten years of art and pages on this site. 2) Needs to say "video games + snowboarding" in one logo. You can make a snowboarding type logo pretty easy by copying existing tropes (ala Burton), but creating a logo that says "we're a VIDEO GAME snowboarding site" it tougher than it looks. 3) Needs to have a big idea behind it that makes people say "oh wow, that's cool." This is what I find toughest about designing a logo for Merq City. I can design something with trees and snowboards. I can design snowboard type logos. I can design video game-esque logos - but tying it all together is far more difficult than it sounds. Yeti wrote: Mav - always love your work so how about a new theme? Dude, you know I haven't found the time or motivation to do the two themes I still need to finish for you, OR the ones Tunes did for us in 2012. I'm the main barrier to this, so I would have to dissuade him from doing all that work. But if you guys wanna work on a new logo, and go back and forth and maybe help inspire each other to find something I couldn't? Go for it! |
