^what you'll pay for CypressXT / "HD 5870".
Instead of hiring a graphic designer/artist they ask the community to develop the logo and give away a HD4670? That is wrong on so many levels.
The HD4670 is for the draw among the voters -> public that will vote for the best designs of each category.
Resuming:
- if you participate, you can win a brand new DX11 card
- if you only vote, you can win a HD4670
Sounds good to me...
Will enter definately, but to tell you the truth... user voting is bad :(
@ miloshs: only the "background" graphic is optional, all else is a must.
Also, the "Powercolor" and "ATi" logos can only be resized, but proportion must remain the same and they must not be distorted in any way.
I think it was the only one that was actually based on the Leo Platform aspect of the HD5xxx graphics cards, or that used the Fusion for that matter.;)
The Lion is an entirely original design based on the Traditional Asian style of lion sculpture. I wanted to make a 3D render too, but time didn't allow.:(
Please vote for me! You can check my sig for details.
Thanks in advance for your support.:toast:
It seems like some are cheating though, because they have half a 1000 votes after only a day and their designs a not even ones you could understand for having so many votes.
It sucks, especially working on this so long on this just to be pawned by cheaters... :shadedshu
Thanks guys, I'm sitting at about 160 votes now and climbing.:rockout:
From what I see I'm now in 3rd place I think!:roll:
Please keep the votes coming!
EDIT: Well thanx everyone. It's over now and I reached 750 votes, but others were cheating and PowerColor, despite being reported to many times, did nothing about the cheaters. It was very clear that quite a few people were cheating, some gaining over 1000 votes overnight.
Oh well, that ends business for me w/ PowerColor. Won't be dealing with them anymore coz of how they've sucked w/ controlling and making this a fair competition and my unhappiness with the PowerColor 4890 PCS+ performance (among other things).
I think it's Sapphire &/or XFX that are making the best ATi cards now, so I'm gonna stick w/ them.
