VecType Signature Contest

During VecType Week from May 3^rd to May 9^th LineBirgitte and pica-ae are joining vector and text art forces to host a Contest!

The Theme

What does this mean?
Use your username or real name to create a Vector Text Art Piece!

There are basically 2 ways of achieving this:

• You write your signature with the text tool and base your artwork on this.
• You make a sketch of your signature and vector it or create the font out of shapes in a vector programm.

Which way you choose does not matter, but the result has to be 100% vector.

The Rules

• The deviation must be a new piece submitted after May 3^rd and before May 8^th Midnight (GMT+2)
• It must be 100% Vector. (no raster elements!)
• It must be submitted to Contests> 2010 > VecType Week (If its not up yet, be sure that we are taking care of it as soon as possible.)
• No mature/pornographic content! This Contest is open to all ages.
• Credit all ressources you used and do not use material without permission. (This relates to fonts as well!)
  FAQ #81: How can I create links to other deviants, deviations, or websites?
• 1 submission per deviant.
• If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask pica-ae or LineBirgitte for help ^^
