Blank Yellow help/contest

Post by Havok »

This is nothing major, but I'm not sure if I can come up with something I like myself.

What I need is a logo for Blank Yellow.

I have no initial ideas or anything, so I'm open to every thing.
If I chose your idea, you will get a character named after you and he/she will be even more badass than Mike. Also if I ever make any money off the story, you will get some and the credit for the logo and the character.

You can post the idea in written or picture form.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hmm. I guess this is like a contest... I'll change the title.

I'll get some flack for this, but....

I would suggest a top secret folder look with BLANK YELLOW stencilled on it, with some official-looking seal of the government on it and perhaps case numbers and codenames of events/characters in a label attached to it.

I like the above ideas.

Definitely have it as a simple case file cover.

With a big fuck off:

"Most Secret:
EYES ONLY

copy 3 of 8"

Or something like that stamped on it.

And even then have blacked out/censored sections on the goddamn coversheet. That's how secret this thing is.

Not knowing much about what happens in your Blank Yellow... I see no reason why Blank Yellow can't literally be a blank yellow folder. Nothing written on the folder, maybe a piece of paper or two sticking out, just a little?

Blank Yellow is about US Special Forces getting into a knife fight with God's own Angels.

And winning.

I liked the "typed" font.

weemadando
What else would be on a cover sheet that would be blacked out.

I guess everyone has the same basic idea. I like it.

If you guys want, send me some info (name, height, nationality, sex) on yourselves and a picture (face) and I will make something cool out of them and include it in the story. If you don't want to, that's fine, but at least send me a name so I can give credit for helping with the logo idea.
Thanks all. I really appreciate it. :D

On the cover sheet stuff like

Operation:
Blank Yellow

MOST SECRET - EYES ONLY
Copy 3 of 8

Date opened:
XXXXXXXX (this represents blacked out)

Date authorised:
XXXXXXXX

Agent in Charge:
XXXXXXXX

Authoristing Agent:
XXXXXXXX

Then to make it SUPA-AWESOME! you can add a little "registry" sheet at the bottom, for the people who have previously signed for access to this copy. Put in names and signatures like: V.P Dick Cheney, CIA Director Woolsey and even have some lines there blacked out.

Hell, even have the identifying sections of the seal on it scrubbed.
