    EA as the Borg probably isn't the most original thing out there, but I'm watching Trek right now so it felt right. Making the CEO into Locutus was a blast. Also, maybe a CBS property will get me some brownie points.

    Heres a set of real terrible ones I made in an hour on my iPad.

    I did my best to capture the essence of each company. Sorta.

    @aurahack: thanks. The Ubisoft one is from Far Cry 4, admittedly not the most iconic picture from that game but I thought it looked good.

    Here is my idea for the ubisoft press conference banner.
    It's not very clear, because I got my inspiration from the diversity of ubisoft's games (White on white)

    Variations on a Bethesda banner. Pretty sure the difference between the two is obvious.

    The pain in the butt with this one was that I actually had to redraw all the test pattern stuff myself in Illustrator. Ugh.

    I'd like to draw attention to the fact that the AMD PC show is powered by PC Gamer. Who used to be editor-in-chief of PC gamer? Oh that's right, it's Gary Whitta, friend of the site and big time movie writer man.

    Bonus points for whitta-themed PC banners!

    Thanks. Was quite happy with how the 3D stuff turned out. Couldn't get the text the way I liked it though. Still playing around with compositing in Blender so I'll try get it fixed.

    That guy, endlessly doing a one inch headbutt next to Jon Snow. Things like this are why the humble .GIF format was created.

    @benlaserlove: webm has compatibility issues (for example I believe it is not viewable on ios without the use of extension). pretty much everything supports animated gif.

    Oh yeah, right.
    I guess what would solve that would be having multiple sources for the same video tag, and make the video tag itself resolve what video format it can play.

    Too much for something like this, I'd assume. :P

    So here are my... "minimalist" entries? I guess? Look I'm not very good at this. I still can't believe one of my designs was chosen last year. But hey, here goes nothing.

    Also, I did not make a PC banner because who cares (also, @hashy nailed it).

    Based on feedback, I've changed the font, added in some post processing and an extra tie-fighter. Mods can take this as my entry.
