Contest Brief

*Note*
If you win this contest, you will be awarded a follow on project.

Hi guys,
I have created a game that is to be released on GearVR. All that is left is to have a few logos and icons designed.

Overview
The game is a horror game that is played on multiple Virtual Reality headsets including Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and GearVR. I will include a link to a playthrough of the game so you can get a feel for what it is like. Please watch it so you see how the game looks. It is about a creepy woman that enters your house while you are in bed. The entire game takes place in the bedroom. The player is constantly scared and uncomfortable.

Why do I need icons and logos?
Before I can officially submit this game to the GearVR store, I must have logos and icons that fit the submission criteria. Otherwise the submission will not be accepted.

What exactly is needed for this contest?
So for this contest, I will ask that you design the Icon Art, which needs to be a 512 x 512 px image. I have attached 3 images to this contest.I would prefer if you did something based off of 1 of those, however if you feel that you have a good idea that is different, feel free to enter it :)

Requirements
- The logo must be 512 x 512px
- It must contain the title "The Visitor" in clear white writing
- If you are to include a creepy woman in the logo, please make it be one like in "ExampleLogo3".
- The game is a horror, so try not have the logo all bright and cheerful.

What happens if you win the contest?
If I choose your entry, I will then also create a project and ask you to do a few other images that are also needed for submission. If you see page 6 of the attached document, you will see the other variations that I will ask you to do.

Extra notes
The images are only rough examples of some things I would like. They are not exact. For example. in "ExampleLogo2", a creepy woman standing in a doorway may look cool. I really like the evil girl in "ExampleLogo3". So something with her might look cool.

Best of luck to all who enter. Feel free to ask any questions. I will constantly be checking entries and giving feedback.

Here is a screenshot, Just put "The Visitor" in clear white text over this. Remove the arrows at each side, and make sure the image is PNG 512 x 512 px https://www.dropbox.com/s/07rf6x3eg9iiqb3/The%20Visitor%20Screenshot.PNG?dl=0

A lot of these images are taken from other games. All of those will be rejected

If someone can take a look at ExampleLogo1 and just replace that face with a creepier face, that would be a great entry

Its better if we can see a high quality image of main "character" on that game to use on icon art. Not to create new or invent something new for the icon art.

  So the character used is a low poly character. The approach I take in the game is to never show her clearly. Something along these lines, but without the candlestick

Hi guys, sorry I have been away from my computer the past hour or so. So first off, I will get to rating the remaining images in due course. So I am aware that for 50 euro, I can't expect someone to design a complicated, entirely original piece of work. However I also appreciate what gorantadic has said, in that I certainly don't want to be caught up in any copyright issues. I'll review all entries before picking a winner, and if I feel that there may be a copyright issue, that will directly affect my decision. Also to clarify, I never actually said "Its okay to have girls from internet pictures." I was just giving some examples of styles I like. However I understand that for 50 euro you will certainly need to use an image as a starting point.

  All CH on every contest put some pictures for examples but logo is not a picture that is a point.And I have never seen so far that picture from movie or game is accepted as logo for company,it is ok to use image to represent yoor logo better but only as a background not logo.

OK , I just think you are a little mad because the high rated submits are using internet pictures and you logo is not. I totally understand you but you have to understand what the user is looking for. Why don't you try to do something better ? You just waste your time spamming this project ...

gorantadic , you have understand that you can't do a image from 0 with 50$ , you should start a photoshooting , with a makeup girl , you realise that what you are saying is not ok ? The author asked and placed some images where he 100% agreed to have girls from internet pictures. The ideea is to make the look good. But thank you detective for reaching the picture !

I did some changes to the font , I would have to spend some time looking for the exact font that you have in the video and there is the probability that I would not find it. Check #3

  The text can be made white with no problem but I think that another submission would be to much, if I have luck and you pick me I will do it white before sending it. Thank you !
