Pimp my Logo

Creating your art for the creative competitions for The Gathering alone, is intriguing. But what would you say if you can actually get it published?

In this year’s Pimp my Logo competition we have a real challenge. “Lier Idrettslag” is starting a dedicated e-sports team for young children to recognize them and their interests on a voluntary basis. They are looking for their own logo to be proud of, because their old one is not much of an eyecatcher.

So unwrap your designer-skills and pimp the current Lier Il E-Sport Logo into something e-sport worthy.

In case you don’t want your logo to be used outside of TG, please provide us with a short statement in the comments. If not stated otherwise we will consider you agreeing with Lier Idrettslag’s usage of the logo

You are allowed to render your scene in layers and compose these in another tool.
