KGB Shirt Logo Contest - The KGB Oracle

The KGB Oracle

I am planning to create a set of KGB apparel that will be offered at cost to all members. This will give everyone a chance to represent KGB!

I am thinking of T-Shirts and Men's and Ladies Polo shirts either silk screened or embroidered with KGB logos.

Please submit your entries in this thread or email to gm@the-kgb.com . Please include a small logo on the right front chest, and something on the back.

If there are entries, I will post a public vote and the guild as a whole will pick a winner.

The winner not only gets to have their image represent us, but I will pre-order the deluxe version of AOC as well as pay for your monthly fee for 1 year!

Please submit your entry by April 15th 2007. No late entries will be accepted as I am leaving for Alaska on the 15th to return May 11th.

I will post the entries for voting on Midnight of the 15th. Voting will be open for 5 days.

Feel free to use any KGB images in your entry. You can find the different logos in the KGB Constitution, Armed Forces Pages, as well as http://w3.the-kgb.com/rank .

Good luck and I hope to see some impressive entries.

Oh by the way, I putting up and entry, so you are going to be competing with me if you enter.

That should not be a challenge.

On the polo shirts i dont think a logo on the back would look good maybe the sleeve. tshirts are fine

I think you should scrap the whole polo shirt. Who wears those things ? LOL
I think tshirts those baby style T's most woman wear and maybe a hoodie

alot of us wear polo shirts! nothing wrong with a nice collar shirt these days.

Guys, you can design KGB underwear if you like. Just get me some standard logos to judge.

thongs we are going to need models

What are you talking about? I wear polos all the time at work. T shirts are too trashy to display seriously.

ya but you aren't gonna be able to wear a KGB polo at work.

That depends, we made them really tasteful back in the UO days. Our Oregon meeting we were able to go to different events, and claim that KGB was different organizations.

We played a brewing guild at an Octoberfest in Portland, and got free beer and sausage.

Its all in the design.

ya but a lot of places can't get past the KGB or the mention of beer. I know that my webspace is blocked from my moms work because it's tied to alcohol so she can't even access my kgb site when she's at work of all the kids pictures lol.
Small events like that I think it would be fine but some sort of professional job where you are under scrutiny or something like that you won't be able to wear it. We had a contest like this not too many years ago I can't remember if it was during WoW or Vanguard but didn't a logo get submitted and approved for KGB gear but then nothing had came out of it.

The apparel site was owned by a former KGBer who left on bad terms.

I am starting from scratch.

Here is an original Left Chest proposal from the last attempt. Problem is the old KGB coat of arms is low res. Anyone want to try and clean it up?

Its lost its roundness.
I would even be partial to a new coat of arms.

I wear polo shirts to work nearly every day. It's almost engineering standard for the software guys I work with. And if I can wear my Real Men Wear Kilts shirt to work with no one batting an eye, I'll bet I will have no problem wearing a KGB shirt as well.

Yeah I don't see a problem with a polo, although a hoodie might also be pretty sweet,

Once completed, we can make anything we want. KGB hoodies sound awesome.

ya a new coat of arms would be cool
I have no talent whatsoever making images

I think I redid that shield a few years ago. . . .
color-wise it's easy enough to change. I just have
to make sure I still have the geometry somewhere. . .

Lemme look through my scene files.

Apparently I do still have the original scene files.
Basically means we can create whatever resolution we
need from it.

Texture can be modified / tweaked to taste.

Shield looks like the following in it's current format:

looks good but i don't think the yellow is that good but i couldn't say another color since red would run with the KGB but it looks nice. maybe have in small text knights of glory and beer

Polo shirts FTW!

Retro SB tag

This is awesome

Avi wuz here

I like the simplicy of it. Perhaps this is good on the front and a Knights of Glory and Beer assed on the larger logo on the back.

Keep in mind that was done a few years ago

I'll play with it some and see what variations
come out of it.

Sent in my submission. It's more for a hoodie or T-shirt.
I couldn't find a coat of arms that represented us as a guild so I just did the back design which is this:

http://www.justuploadit.com/files/view/524/scan0002_thumb.jpg

Toying around with this some more. I have another idea in my head for a logo,
but finding the time to make it happen is almost impossible. Between work,
Aikido, and a parrot who can't stand to be away from me for more than two minutes,
finding any time to play with this is tough.

Personally, I think the shield with a beer mug incorporated
into it is the way to go

Anyhoo-

Same shield, slightly different metal texture and color.

I really think we need something to Represent the Beer since that is the biggest thing about KGB was the beer or virtual beer!
That is a nice sketch Simon

Scroll to the top of your browser and look at the animated .gif on the left. See it when the KGB is displayed?

Or just look here right here:

That should be the t-shirt design. That's the best font I've seen with anything KGB-related and the colors are IMO perfect. Put that in the centered on the front of the shirt--high so it sits above the breast.

Quote:

Knights of Glory and Beer
Est. 1997

That text goes below the graphic on the front--or on the back.

"Est." could be changed to "Founded" or "pwning" or whatever since 1997.

Simple, elegant, powerful. That's KGB to me.

First off, Happy Birthday Jet, I'm sure there will be a thread elsewhere on it but I plan on posting this once today.

Secondly, Heraldry, Coats of Arms, or Knightly Orders can be very complex things if you want them to be. I personally think a updated look for KGB would be very interesting.

Here is a link to help that along and hopefully inspire people.

http://www.heraldryclipart.com/m24learnpop.html

Realize this, I'm not entirely sure whether that is a lion or not if so however what you have in use is considered "Lion Rampant, Coward or Cone". A change there might be advisable at the very least, as well as including a beer or two somewhere.

It alwasys looked like a lion headed eagle to me.

Different Lions

I'd say it's ether a dragon or a gryphon.

Its got to be a gryphon. It has Talons, claws, and Wings.

Gryphon Segreant

whatever text we put let's have it be real english and not dude speak lol

I wouldn't waste my money on a shirt that said pwning.
I like Valentein's idea though that is a nice logo.

wahtZ wR0n wit dat? d00dz R ppl 2.

Don't let female sensibilities neuter your gaming logic, next thing you know the only color for a KGB T-Shirt will be pink.

JK Elph

rofl I am totally not a pink girl

I am leaving this topic open till I return in May.

I will check in as possible.

text in back can be whatever i just put up some jibberish.

those are cute heidi

I really like that Heidi. My only complaint is the text on the back is a bit too big.

yeah those are really nice, Heidi

Why does that woman have boobs on her back??

Nice work Heidi. I will post thisw stuf for vote on my return.

She has them on the front and the back. I dont see a problem.

rofl. I am gonna say that is back chub cuz her bra is too tight! I actualy don't think the text on the back is too big at all. The only thing that I would put is KGB above then Knights of Glory and Beer below it
Then of course some other slogan then fighting together but heidi said that was just temp shit

I've got some tweeking to do to it obviously

of course front back boobies would definitly be a good conversation starter at parties

There are some other ideas I'm playing around with. I will try to post them tomorrow evening.

hey heidi just make me a copy and ill go make the shirt happen so i can sport kgb pride for aoc opening day

The schemes on those shirts look great.

Can you add two alternate color choices besides those two? Like a Black shirt with a silver logo & green lettering, and a Light Grey shirt with green logo & black lettering? Polo shirts would really look great as well, and have a more professional appearance.

I can honestly say that I don't own a single bright red shirt (on purpose) and not many blue ones. Besides, if any of you are ever running around LA or other such places with a blue or red T-shirt, I think you're asking for trouble...

Black and silver are gang colors too

I will make them purple just for you crim

Ok, Green shirts with Black logo and silver writing!

What gang wears black and silver?

And I know you're kidding, Heidi, you cheeky monkey!

ROFL

LA is a big fucking city, and I guarantee that you can we're any color you want in 99% percent of it.

make Crimthans shirt ghey pink, he loves that color.

That's Va-J-J pink, Drak. Get it right.

in that case make mine pink too =)

I thought your Va-J-J was already pink?

ill take 2:)

Sorry I was a bit late.. I was in Russia for the last month visiting relatives so I was a BIT off the "net" so to speak. ;-) If I don't qualify - that is okay... just some ideas to consider then:

I liked Heidi's logo, griffon with beer and sword in hand but not the "wraparound" look.

As for the shirt idea - what do you think about the "bowling shirt" (aka camp shirt - button down with collar), not the tuck-in sort of dress shirt but it will certainly be more "dressy" looking than a T-Shirt.

Black Shirt (everything will stand out sharply) - with red, gold, or silver secondary colors.

Right sleeve (worn like a patch)
The KGB crest: Place the griffon in a "kite" shield instead of a roundel - with KGB below (or above) the logo (still within the shield).

Back:
A nice large griffon logo (Heidi's logo with beer) - with "The Knights of Glory and Beer" above (in shoulder area)

Front:
Could have embroidery (for those who choose) - KGB name and title over the breast pocket.

Looks like these are good places to get an idea of the styles available (and what other designs look like)

I don't have the raw art to prototype this - but if Heidi can help - or someone send me the artwork to do it with I would be happy to put a "sample" together.

Just my thoughts.. but I like the RED or GOLD offset from black:
