Design an Icon for the Premium Membership!

Want to go down in DVDTalk history? Be remembered forever as "the guy who designed that little thing next to my name"? Or, do you just want a free membership and a great DVD box set?

Well, here's your chance!

Winner will receive a FREE Premium membership (or one-year extension of their existing Premium membership) and…

The "I Am Legend Ultimate Collector's Edition" DVD box: A three-disc set that includes two versions of the film as well as a digital copy. There's also -an exclusive 44-Page Concept Sketch Book, 6 art cards showing international cities devastated by the plague virus, a collectible lenticular, and more in an illustrated collector's box.


All DVDTalk members are invited to submit a 15 pixel by 15 pixel image to this thread until Thursday 1/22 at 12 midnight, PST.

Site staff will consider the submissions and announce 3-5 finalists.

The finalists' icons will be displayed for voting.
Premium members only can vote on their favorite in a poll in the Premium Members forum.

Good luck, and may the best icon win!

Re: Design an Icon for the Premium Membership!

Here's my idea.



If you can't tell, it's based on the Blu-Ray logo.

Edit: And obviously, the P is for Premium.

Yes, that's the DVD Talk logo circa 1999.

That's clever and works beautifully, but DVD Talk had to change its logo sometime back because it contained the official DVD logo and the site was not licensed to use it. I think the same might apply for an inverted and squished Blu-ray logo, but who knows. You might need to change it a bit more in order to make it kosher, you might not.

Re: Design an Icon for the Premium Membership!

I was worried about that, but I did a lot more to it that simply inverting it. With the angles of the line there was no real way to simply invert it or reverse it, so I had to create my own P. We'll see how it works out, because I'd love to win! I love "I Am Legend" and would really like to be a premium member.

Re: Design an Icon for the Premium Membership!

Here are mine, one a more professional one and one a parrothead one based on an icon I did a long time ago. Neither are currently on transparent backgrounds, but I can readily update.

Re: Design an Icon for the Premium Membership!

Looks like your circle needs work, the blue inner one and the black outer one. Specifically at 3 & 6 o'clock.

Looks good though DV.

Re: Design an Icon for the Premium Membership!

Looks like the icon with the letter P has been well covered. Here's my ideas:

A shield


A Medal or Badge of honor

Yeah, I need to tweak it a bit. Thanks!
