Mod. Notice Competitions: READ BEFORE POSTING A COMPETITION

[Barrybran]

I'm still keen on bringing back the Olympics idea Spanna_ had a couple of years ago. I was looking forward to that!

It required you to create your own made up country, flag, colours, IOC logo, as well as a cricket uniform, AFL, soccer, basketball, ice hockey and baseball (and some other ones I may not have completed at the time). As well as opening ceremony attire. It was a cool concept at the time Any interest?

Here's the old hub thread:

How were the medals awarded?

 

[Grandsun]

I would be keen.. maybe a commonwealth games one as 2018 is a commonwealth games year.. this could be my first competition back.

I'll let Spanna answer that, haha. I have no clue. Maybe we get drawn into groups and have a knockout comp once countries qualify?
I'd be keen to co-run it with you if you still want a part of it, Spanna_ ?

It doesn't really matter what Games it is, the countries are made up. But could be a good idea

How were the medals awarded?

I think I was just going to have one big poll for each sport, much like what we have for weekly competitions. Then of course, top three were given medals for each event which went towards the overall leader board, and then we would eventually the country with the most medals as the winner after all of the eventday. Not sure if that really answers your question.

Would be down for bringing it back Andonis1997, was a shame it fell through way back.

It does. Thank you. The idea sounds good but it seems more fitting for one of the weekly comps like Clash of the Jumpers or What If. Not sure how you'd make it a more serious comp because one big poll with medals for the top three fits an Olympic theme.

Agreed, I was confident with my entry back then Awesome, if we get 10 likes, I'll message ya.

Well, we can sort that out when we get it running!

Id be keen for this to Big Footylympics happen!! I would love the challenge of designing and using some new templates given the only things Ive ever designed on here are footy guernseys and warm up shirts!!

We could also have bidding for a host from one of our countries that we make up?

The host nation is Qatar, they made a big deposit into @Spanna_’s bank account.

No wonder the comp never got off the ground last time. Poor Spanna is probably still busy trying to build fake stadiums for this to happen.

Sorry Lynton, the Olympics bidding was won by a group of wealthy business men on the behalf of a far away planet called Zond. It's in a binary star system so bring your sunscreen. Transport will be expensive too.

If I was to have a country that is civilized by.Australian astronauts.can I include colours of green and yellow?

I'm going to say Australia doesn't exist in this comp.

 

[Grandsun]

I know I mean Australian explorers founded my country New Edmund and want to use green and yellow as the countries colours

 

[Barrybran]

Might be worth waiting until the comp gets off the ground

It will I can feel it

Well here's the Chillen Swaghorne logo I never wound up using for the old comp

Im more than happy to run it if people want to go in it, but Id love to see Non-Sports Logo of the Week come back.
Basically, each week a logo of a company or cause, charity etc (basically anything that isnt a sports team) is chosen. For example, one week may be a bank, or a hospital.

I reckon this would be a great way for everyone to try to improve their skills in a different way entirely, and maybe lead to some better designs elsewhere. I’m thinking of a 10 day round, with 7 days of designing and 3 days voting, with the winner of each round choosing the type of company/ organisation to be used next and (to be a bit different) a colour that has to be used somewhere in the logo

Take these examples from Pinterest...

Would there be separate winter and summer games or combined into 1? Looking forward to it so hopefully it does occur.

There's like 3 sports at the Winter Games (split into several distinctions each) that would all probably use the one design, not really practical.

Yeah but one of those three sports will be the cross country shooting along the DMZ. That'll be exciting, as will be the glow in the dark body suits in the speed skating.

We run for the hills and create alias accounts.

So when are we getting this going?
