    Still a work in progress but this is what I've got so far. I will probably update these a bit but I actually have exams next week that I should be studying for so I probably shouldn't spend too much time on this stuff.

    Just been playing around with adding luchadeer and static/video effects. Not 100% sure I actually like either. I'll come back to this in the next few days when I get bored of studying.

    @face15: I dig the style of your banners.

    I prefer the Luchadeer logo over the regular logo. But the animations (particularly the last Ubisoft one) are driving me nuts.

    I decided to mess around with some animation in photoshop.

    If the file size is a problem, I have a smaller (non-looping) version.

    EDIT: Also, I think I got the date wrong on my Bethesda entry. I doubt it could hang in this crowd, anyway, but I can change it if need be.

    Lol, this made me laugh when I saw it on the bus. Thanks for making me look like a crazy person.

    An idea for somebody to take (as I can not do this or get anywhere near the excellent level of work on show already). Pipboy head in place on the Doom bar (i.e. the head next to the ammo/health bar on the bottom of the screen) for Bethesda.

    Loving the Blatter EA conference bar and a lot of the others on show.

    Here's my Bethesda entry. I never made any animated gifs before so it's not really optimized quality wise... The crappy quality kinda gives it that old original Fallout FMV look though ;)

    I love this contest. Looking through all the entries every year is always so much fun. E3 is such an exciting time even though everyone in the industry seems to dread whenever its head looms.

    So many good ones this year already but this one really spoke to me for whatever reason.

    Here's an entry for each conference.

    I'm not much for image stuff, but here's my Bethesda thoughts.

    Thought about doing them in Amber colors, in honor of the vastly superior game, but the green is still more iconic.

    PC Stuff:

    I'm not confident about either of these, but they were fun to make. The second one definitely has potential if someone better than me were making it.

    Here's another microsoft one. It's a bit fanboy comment-war I suppose, but I have always thought Spencer has a bit of an unhinged look about him.

    @zmilla: Yeah I really just knocked these out in a very quick fashion on my lazy Saturday afternoon, and after seeing the excellent work others have done I'm a bit embarrassed by my half-assed approach. I have a particularly busy week coming but I should really try to find time to refine and put more effort into all of them.

    The last time I read the initials AMD was like 2005 or something. The hell is that conference?

    Basically, AMD and PC Gamer fronted the cash for an event with their names on it. Expect lots of stuff that either isnt on consoles or didnt get into one of the big three. Not sure if Valve will be there, but i'll be surprised if they aren't somewhere, and that seems like the place for "Hey guys, Steam Machines!"

    Pretty much the only conference I'm interested in

    Really badass design on the logo. I think the purple version might be a bit low contrast - you can't make up the detail on luchadeer's mouth and it doesn't read well. Maybe make that a bit thicker so it reads in the slightly smaller slightly lower contrast Ubisoft version.
