Last month I challenged the community to create a "fandom stamp" -- a tiny piece of art that can be placed on any profile, to show off your pride at being a member of the RP Repository.This was no easy task! Fitting the full name "RP Repository" into such a tiny space, making it look appealing, and finding a way to make the itty bitty graphics reflect the spirit of the site all at once? That takes a whole lot of skill and planning!
Our first place winner is Heimdall, who rose to the challenge with panache. Heimdall managed to combine our brand colors, one genre mascot image, a snippet of our logo, our full name AND a short description of why they are proud to be a member, all in the space of 93 x 43 pixels, and still make it look clean, polished and well-organized? Dayum.
In second place, Toreth, with an ultra-minimalist interpretation of the challenge. The end result is a clean and elegantly designed stamp that does the job of advertising your membership at the RPR with not a single excess pixel.
Sanne took third place with a another animated stamp; she managed to combine a great number of the RP Repository genre mascots and site artwork with her favorite reasons to be a member, using the site's own parchment texture as a backdrop.
Our final winner is Kitom, who took a similar concept and went in the direction of a direct appeal advertisement rather than just a fandom pride stamp -- which is super cool if you are trying to get your friends to join up too.
Want to put one of these stamps on your profile, here or elsewhere? Please do!
