I've posted the first batch of entries to the contest page. They can be viewed at the following link:

Redemption 5200 Contest Entries

Keep up the great work everyone! There are a full two weeks remaining in the contest.

Second set. JPG unfortunately has problems with some of the graduation, so I can't drop the quality much more...

My first try at creating labels of any kind. Kinda tough but I think I did good. Not really sure.

whos do you thinks is best so far?

[joesmooth]

Cool labels so far, guys!

One suggestion I might make... I noticed a lot of the labels have the 5200 controller predominant on the label. The whole point of the Redemption is to AVOID using the 5200 controller and allow you to use other controllers. So, if I was making a label (if I could figure out Photoshop - haha) I'd feature the stick (or some sort of likeness) that is used (e.g., 2600, 7800, etc.).

Keep sending them in!

Joe

PS - We can't say which we like the best right now - the contest isn't over

[vanman]

What do you think of the labels so far? (The ones NOT judging the contest.)

Yeah, I thought of that after I had already created my label entries. The problem is, which stick should you feature on the PC Version? I used a tiny image of a Microsoft Sidewinder on my existing submission. Any better suggestions?

They don't need to be actual pictures or representations of real joysticks. They can be drawn, and/or a bit more abstract.

Good Point. I guess I was just thinking that if I use images of a real 2600 stick, and a real 7800 stick, I'd want to be consistent and use an image of a real PC stick.

I agree, consistency within a set of labels is reasonably important.

I've got a classic old (Quickshot?) PC joystick somewhere, but I can't find it (or a picture on the web), so I used my MS Sidewinder.

You could try an IBM Jnr joystick:

[sack-c0s]

well I took the idea of the replacement working as a 5200 joystick, so if you look at my designs each stick is a hybrid made from a 5200 keypad and whatever the adapter in question allows you to use.

did I succeed? god knows...

[Kepone]

I'm gonna come up with another set of labels jsut to challenge myself. I'll take into consideration the idea of having different controllers to represent different versions.

I'm using PhotoImpact XL for my designs. It didn't take too long for me to learn how to use it.

[Kepone]

Here's my next batch of labels.

I just sent in these,my 2nd entry. It's probably my last entry too.Stupid job -always getting in the way of the important things!

[Omar]

Hi everyone!

I'm having problems using the Pixel Past logo vector file. I have downloaded the file many times but it still can't be recognized by either Corel Draw or Adobe Photoshop. Is the file damaged or is it available in another vector format?

Thanks!

Try this one, you'llhave to unzip it first.

Someone also asked me privately if the "Pixels Past" text in the logo can be moved underneath the graphic (to be more consistent with the AtariAge logo). And yes, you can do that

In addition, the circular Pixels Past and AtariAge logos are not required, as long as the TEXT portion of the logos ("Pixels Past" and "AtariAge") is present. However, we do not want just the circular logos without the text. And there needs to be consistency with use of the logos. In other words, if you use the logo and text with one, you need to use the logo and text with the other..

Thank you Joeybastard! It worked That was all I needed to send my entries.

[joeybastard]

I'm really surprised there aren't more entries in this contest. The prize is so kick ass I figured everybody would enter.

So far I think Alex has made the best set in the entry gallery

[unhuman]

Man, I got the best idea.... Just wish I was a graphic artist.

[joesmooth]

Maybe you could team up with someone on the forum that is and split the booty!
