Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot!
Ahh healthy competition. The healthiest kind. We at the avant guardian support both health and competition. Which is why we like all fighting styles. We like Tiger Fist and Flying Crane. We like the guy with the moobs from Fight Club. We like beast wars (where you pick two animals and decide which would win based on nothing more than what you saw on Discovery Channel once). We like intellectual sparring, broad sword sparring, and sexual sparring. We like the chase, the hunt, the pursuit, AND the run down. So it begins.
The Proposition: A logo contest. We need a logo. Helvetica just isn’t cutting it anymore. Please all of you designers, illustrators, artists, sketchers, and creative types make us a logo. Due date 2 weeks from Monday. March 1st, 2010. No rules, besides it being a logo for this site. All entries will be published. That’s right, people, you gettin’ press. Send your entries to tracey@theavantguardian.org.
The Prize: 1) Eternal admiration of your peers. 2) Your logo everyday at the top of the site and future merchandise. 3) A bottle of Dan Akroyd’s Crystal Head Vodka. Good god you know you want to try it. (Cash equivalent also available)
Truly a prize if there ever was one. May the best logo win. Much love.

Did I mention that’s Dan Ackroyd’s vodka? Anything Roman Craig sponsors you should get behind.
It’s rock paper scissors SAYS shoot.
You’re completely right. Shit.
There was some discrepancy about if we were a scam/ponzi scheme/triangle scheme due to the fact that this seems like we’re soliciting free design work. Fuck that. Crystal Head Vodka is not free. I’ve put up cash equivalent just so the haters don’t hate.
The crystal head looks eerily similar to Alexander McQueen’s iconic skull. Timely.
er, also, the man with the moobs is bob, who is also meatloaf.
MOOBS
