ACB Release Week Fan Sig Project | Forums

[sm312]

Hey so maybe you saw on the Sig Request thread I, we, came up with the idea of all us fans using the same sig on the release week of ACB! So far we have nothing, but our goal is to make something extraordinary and BEASTY! So let's see first we assign leaders and sig makers etc.


SIG DESIGNERS It doesn't matter which area you choose to specialize in just keep the same theme!

Theme:
Join the Brotherhood. etc.


Project Leader
SM312

Head Sig Designer
ZeeJay21

Lead Sig Designer Group
ZeeJay21
SlymeDynamite
Sbredflag
D1sturbed
Robson
mikini

Now all of you others make your groups, and notify me.

I'll update to my best ability, but Officials please help me cause I can't be online or checking this all day!

This is so BEAST!

[zeejay21]

BEASTY means awesomely epic here, guys. lol

[sm312]

Thanks for the definition! lol

Hey ZJ since you were so ready to help make this a reality I'm making you Head Sig Designer so you'll help all the other designers, follow up on stuff. and send me the drafts so I can finalize them.

And if it's not any problem can you PM me to help me figure out who does what etc.

Can i sign up in the way that i support you guys by using the sig on the week of release? Or do I need to make a sig?

[zeejay21]

I had this crazy idea for this sig project. While I know we're making the same sig for people to wear, I fear people also want variety so please consider my idea:

Make them into genres. Each genre has to have at least 5 to 10 sigs; this is to make sure everyone has enough to choose from. Every sig has to have mainly the AC:B and Ubisoft's logo. Any additional element is up to the designers. The genres are:

1) Characters
Every character, both single player and multiplayer, will have their own sig made just for themselves ie. Ezio only sig & Cesare only sig.

The sig background accompanying them can be anything but has to be conceptual to the whole AC:B theme.

PS. Don't forget Shaun Hastings as well. He's just dying to be in the spotlight.


2) Scenery
Rome is large in AC:B, in fact, if any of you watched the second Developer Diary video, they mentioned key areas such as the Pantheon. These landmarks need to be highlighted as sigs as well. This is to promote not only the game but also the places themselves.


3) Equipment
Armors, sword types, halberd type, hidden blades, guns and even the tank has to have their own sig. Those also key elements within the game.


4) Title
Probably the easiest as it only requires the game's title but be creative with it. We don't want anything that looks that it could be done by anyone. Make it into a renaissance type look, aged or beautiful writings. Be artistic, creative and original.


5) Concept Art
This one is something I need special help from our community manager, Mr_Shade.

Concept art are concept drawings and paintings to flesh out ideas. It's used as a beginning stage before any finalization takes place. It has become as beautiful and as effective as real art themselves. However, I have seen many concept artworks that aren't used. Because of that, I thought that sigs could be helpful to bring the concept art to be more recognized by people (not just as portfolios or in digital art books).

The concept artworks could be done by fans who participated in this project or by Ubisoft art team, if they willing to make them & has extra time and allow designers to create them into sigs. Let people enjoy seeing the art. It maybe a small artwork but if Syd Mead can make anyone drawn in into his artwork on a piece of $2 chintzy cardboard (Marc Gabbana mentioned this on his CGChannel.com video interview), why not sigs?



If any of you accepts this idea and wants to submit your created sigs, make sure to make it like this:

Genre
Your sig image


and PM either me, sm312 or Mr_Shade. The first post or my post (this one) will be updated to include the sigs.



Since this is quite an early stage, please discuss what is best for people to wear and promote the game on launch day (or months if including PC version).

Otherwise, just ignore this post and concentrate on making just ONE helluva sig!

Wait?

so on the release week everyone including me is gonna have this sig?

[sbredflag]

I'd really like to be part of this as well!

I think that making a single signature would be harder, since we designers all have different styles tastes, so our collaborative effort may clash. On the other hand, it could also turn out to be a nice blend of all of our skills.
Considering this, though, I think we should go with zeejay's ideas of genres, with one or two people being assigned for each genre, depending on the number of sigs each one would have.

I personally volunteer to handle the character sigs I'll update with some completed ones in a bit.

P.S. I think it would be best for all the sigs in a specific genre fit a single "theme", which is why I thought that only 1 or 2 people shoudl work on each one.

Yeah, you could.

You can make sigs or just suggest themes or ideas. No need to be a designer to participate.

If you want to sign-up for the project, you have to be active in the forum. This is to have your name as credit to the, I think, first Ubisoft community sig project.

If you're both active and participating, your name will be added to the first post (with the help of Ubisoft officials of course, just in case sm312 isn't around for the time being )

So get active in the forums and participate!


PS. I don't remember ANY community forum has it's members participating for a project to promote something; nonetheless an already popular game. Isn't this exciting?

[sm312]

Dude BEASTY(lol) idea about the genres!

And I totally support any Official editing my posts!

Also I'm starting a new type of list on the first post?

And ZJ still idk what you do as Head lol

If my idea is accepted, you have several choices of sigs to wear, different themes to choose from, all promoting Ubisoft's game: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

If my idea is rejected then yes, all of us are gonna have to wear the same sig.

Anyhow, it has to be worn at launch day for consoles, I think, as sm312 wants, for a week or longer and also after it's launch on PCs.

Consider it as an initiation to join the Brotherhood and dedication to heavily promoting the game.


Also, just another idea:

Clickable interactive sigs
There are people here who joined countless of forums such as Gametrailers.com who might want to promote the game so why not make clickable interactive sigs?

I suggest for designers to include the word 'JOIN THE BROTHERHOOD - FIGHT FOR FREEDOM' for single player type sigs or 'JOIN THE TEMPLARS - SEEK DOMINATION & CONTROL' for multiplayer type sigs.

To make a clickable sig make it like this, without the asterisk ( * ):
