RPC Xmas Theme Contest

[Master]

Welcome to the RPC Xmas Theme Contest!
As some members might remember, RPC usually is decked up in a special theme for the Christmas season. Sadly, that wasn't the case last year, and with the update this year, we've not had the chance to have one made for the season this time.

That being said, we are keen to have a theme in place this year, so we're doing something a bit different. This time, we're asking the community to help deck out the forums in wintry theming. We will select the best elements to be put into our 2016 Christmas theme. All participants will be rewarded for their efforts, and we're hoping that with the community's help, we'll have a grand theme for the Holiday season this year.

So, what's needed?

• Forum Banner
• Forum Icons
• Topic Icons

Please use the svg format for icons.

Banner: 1280×185
Forum icons: 40×40
Topic icons: 25×25

4 forum icons are needed:

• Unread
• Unread + Subforum
• Read
• Read + Subforum

12 topic icons are needed:

• Announcement, Unread
• Announcement, Read
• Announcement, Unread + Locked
• Announcement, Read + Locked
• Sticky, Unread
• Sticky, Read
• Sticky, Unread + Locked
• Sticky, Read + Locked
• Regular, Unread
• Regular, Read
• Regular, Unread + Locked
• Regular, Read + Locked

That's how it's structured for the forum as it is now; contest requirements may vary.

Templates:

For convenience, here are the original templates for the banner and icons - if this could be added to the first post, that would be great. Note that the FLA (icon) files were made in Adobe Animate, but they should still be completely compatible with Flash (I don't know if Flash can export SVGs though). When exporting as SVG, don't forget to hide any unused layers and uncheck "Export hidden layers".

Deadline: Mid-December

Cool. I will try to see if I do anything. Also cool, I just got a notification to this thread. I like that.

[Master]

I don't think anything has changed in the theming, mind if I nick your list for the OP, Ad?

[Adsolution]

Go right ahead!

[neo]

I'll just be working on a forum banner just so you guys know. I don't know how to make forum icons or topic icons.

[Hunchman801]

By the way, entries don't have to contain a both a banner and forum and topic icons. You may enter either of these.

[Fifo]

Yes, Christmas theme! Finally!

Let’s see what you all come up with!

[Droolie]

Cool idea! Working on a RayTunes redesign got me in the mood for more design work so I might participate. Got a few questions, though.
- Will the color scheme change for the christmas theme, and if so, how?
- What's the deadline?

[Master]

AFAIK, Humch will have to correct me if I'm wrong, we're not changing the colour scheme, just the images and icons.

Not so sure on the deadline, that's Humch 's call, since he'll be the one applying the chosen items.

[blueblur98]

i'll join. why not? i can edit a thing in PSP8.

[Hunchman801]

Well it'd be good to have everything sorted by mid-December I guess, we know Christmas holidays can be busy.

[Master]

Nice to see all the excitement, and we've already got one entry in! I'll be updating the OP now, Looking forward to seeing what else the community has to offer!

Much obliged Ad, I'll be sure to add those to the OP too.

[Harpic fraîcheur]

I might try to make something with Photoshop.
