im not very good with photoshop, so ill just post my idea and let somebody submit it if they like it

basically, i just see the Tabasco hot sauce label, but instead the label will read backfire in green.

i tried to do it myself, but i dont know how to make text curve :(

Try downloading the trial version of PhotoImpact 8 from www.ulead.com. It's got lots of powerful, easy to use tools for text and graphic manipulation, and it's much easier to learn than Photoshop. It's what I've used to make all of my labels so far.

Hi there!

Cool stuff shown here. My current favs are those ultra-stylish works from Steve Engelhardt. I'd probably take all 6 of them :)

Greetings,
Manuel

A bit OT, but related to this contest...

Could someone send me the font (PC format) file for the Atari font?
I have the one called SF Atarian System, but it only has capital letters...
If anyone can help me, send mail to man@sci.fi

Thanks!

I was starting to wonder if there was any cut-off point at all, given how many entries came in so far. ;) The judges are gonna have a HELL of a time narrowing it down to just one!

Thank you to everyone who submitted artwork for the label contest. I was very impressed with the quality of the work. I wish I didn't have to just pick one because there are several great entries.

The winner is...

Phosphor Dot Fossils, entry #1 posted on 9/5/2003

Congratulations.

Holy cow! :o Thanks, Chad!

Hope nobody strips of my prize for revealing this, but the "space pilot cowering in the cockpit" is actually me, in my bathrobe, standing against a white wall. :D Paint Shop Pro is a beautiful, beautiful thing - good at covering up the fact that I am not a beautiful, beautiful thing!
