The forums are awash in activity and I am really glad we went ahead and put them up. In one of the posts I asked you for the communities take on this new logo we have been working on. Feedback was mixed with some people suggesting different improvements and possibly even turning it over to the readers.

So in the spirit of letting everyone have their say I am going to open the Logo up to collective design and then we can vote on the final results in the brand new forums. First, download the current design in Illustrator format, logo.zip and you can do one of 2 things:

A: Modify the colors and tweak the existing concept ( I was thinking silver, black and blue, retro/Atari/futuristic)

B: Come up with your own idea- but it must be submitted in illustrator format! You can send you submissions to contest@djtechtools.com

The winner will receive an upgrade package to the vci-100 which contains 3 things:

{Ean Golden SE plates

{TKS files and a firmware conversion program that emulates the 1.3 firmware

{a very special accessory that we cant announce just yet!

The Video Intro

This logo was created as a new intro to our educational videos.

Contest Rules:

I will do the preliminary judging to select 5 finalists. Then the community will get to pick the final winner!

The prize will be awarded when the equipment is finished getting manufactured (about 1 – 2 months)

    Any other recommendations? Thats all we have to give at this point. Except perhaps some free software.

  • midian

    I'd just be giving the gear to one of my mates with a vci. personally I'm just doing this for the love of the community, i feel anything else is just a bonus! Having work liked and used is enough.

    An actual VCI-100 SE would be awesome prize but somewhat unrealistic for the actual input.

    What software? Any sweet VST's?

    When is the due date to submit the new logo? Where do I send my illustrator file when I'm done?

    see thats why you guys are here. I will never think of everything. Ummm, lets say the contest closes for submissions in 1 week? thats a bit short but we need to send the final graphics for the plates to vestax. Send your submissions to contest@djtechtools.com

  • obsidiance

    Hmm this is great but what if you dont own a VCI-100? (buying one is on the cards)

    I will enter regardless!

    But im sure im not the only one here that doesnt have a vci100!!!

    There are many people without vci-100's here. This site is for everyone and is about digital djign for all type of djs and equipment. it does seem that a lot of people have vci-100's though :-)

    Hmmm a vci-100 would be a pretty sweet prize :D haha

    How about some goodies for Torq or the Xponent? Like some cool VST's or midi progamming files to use other controllers? I would looooooove that ha.

    Even if not, who cares. I'll still be submitting my own work! :D

    *hugs his VCI-100* cant wait to get my hands on the ean golden software and plates :) Though i am no good with these artsy programs, so i will wait to buy mine.

    "a very special accessory that we cant announce just yet!" if i was a betting man id say usb foot peddles, but we will just have to wait and find out.
