Gaijin Gunpla’s facebook page has reached 1,000 likes. Can you believe it? I can’t. I still remember being excited when I hit 500.
As I neared 1,000 and I knew I wanted to do something special for the big one-o-o-o. What best to award to Gunplars but Gunpla itself. But what to give? I pondered giving away one of the kits I haven’t started yet, but that’s small time and this is 1,000 likes. So instead I decided I’d go for something cool!
Yup, that’s the 1/100 MG MSN-06S Sinanju Stein Ver. Ka! You know you want it!
However, there is a catch. This is a contest and not just a giveaway. I had first thought to just award the Sinanju Stein to a randomly chosen person from amongst the 1,000 + facebook likes but while that is fair for everyone, let’s face it, it’s just not as much fun. Instead, I’m going to take advantage of you facebookers’ skills.
So here’s what we’re going to do:
gaijin-gunpla.com was started in September of 2010 (before that my home was on blogspot and for the most part I’ve done most of the look myself as evidenced by this rather boring block of text. Even the banner of the site hasn’t been changed since the beginning (but to be honest that is one cool banner and I never thought it needed changing). My presence on the internet is usually just the words Gaijin Gunpla in the PortagolTT TC font. Should I change that?
So everyone, all you have to do for a shot at the Sinanju Stein is create a logo for Gaijin Gunpla. It can be anything you want, in any color, anything! Post your logo on the Gaijin Gunpla facebook wall for others to admire and like. Whomever’s logo rises above (by a combination of likes and my evaluation) by March 15, 2013 will receive a message from me wondering where to send their MG Sinanju Stein.
Disclaimer: I can’t guarantee the logos entered into the contest will be used ‘officially’ on Gaijin Gunpla.com or to represent me on the various Gunpla forums,etc. but entrants may be contacted by me in the near future asking for their advice and help/services related to other projects I’ve got in the works.
Good luck, I can’t wait to see what you’ve got for me!
Aaaaaand there goes my chance to actually win this… I was astonished when I saw the Stein, but yeah, not gonna win this, haha.
Good luck to everyone taking part on this and congratulations Syd!
AWESOME! really generous of your boss to give a brand spanking new kit as a prize haha. CONGRATS ON THE 1000 LIKES!!!! time to get some more after the Nu ver ka group build haha
Challenge accepted
ok..lemme try..
wow! >_< Congratulations Gaijin Gunpla on your 1000 FB likes!!!
Hrmm…. might give this a shot. Somewhat decent design skills… HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Because while I don’t really have any history or experience with anything from Gundam UC, I’ve always thought Sinanju’s looked pretty sweet. And this one is the Sinanju’s dad if I’m not mistaken. I’m in. Here’s hoping 999 other people have mediocre design skills and my merely somewhat below adequate skills can win something for me for once.
Stein’s the Sinanju before it got stolen from Anaheim by Neo Zeon. They then “Zeonified” it and painted it red. Anyway, good luck with the designing (not even going to try it myself )
i definitely going to enter this contest… ive been studying syd as if hes a model kit~ haha.. kidding
Sinanju Stein?!? Definitely going to try this out XD
Hey Syd! Can we enter more than one logo for this contest? My minds a blur with ideas and wanted to see if I can throw them all in.
Yes, you can!
well… this spares me from unnecessary decision making 🙂
congrats 1000 likes
& i like the ‘ boring block of text.’ though…
Wow! This is so exciting! I might give this a shot. This is a good chance for me to work on my logo-making skill.
Y’know what? I actually have some good ideas for this. Hopefully I can give it all form and acquire 1337 photoshopping skillz before the deadline.
all right ! time to dust off my Graphic Design title and work on a logo 😀
dammit… was hoping nobody had design in their actual background lol
dont be intimidated Tony, u knew creativity comes from anywhere especially from you 🙂
Exactly, creativity is not something that can be taught, comes from the heart.
oh my what a typo. creativity CAN´T be taught.
sorry xD
Hahaha, I’ve got so much creativity its falling out of my butt (major kudos to anyone who gets that reference… it is a reference, I don’t really fart/poop creativity… yet). My issue will be getting a design put together. Got what I think is a decent idea in my head, not sure how I’ll actually get it made though.
well.. im a desinger myself… i will give it a try.
Stein i want you!
I gotta create a FaceBook profile just to submit? Man,
I hope I can delete it after this is over hahaha.
😛
is there a more spercific specification in terms of the size of the logo? im having trouble deciding on a good size
Make it big so it scales down well. It’s easier to scale down than to try to make it bigger.
