Crafter's Cafe logo contest

Hi everybody, I'm Back-Fire, proprietor of The Crafter's Cafe arc #487283.
And in celebration of the GRAND OPENING of the Crafter's Cafe, I'm hosting an art contest!

The Crafter's Cafe is not your typical AE arc, it's an in-game, non-combat setting complete with colorful characters, hidden easter eggs, and working Invention Tables. And in an effort to "bring it to life" I'd like to give it a logo! That's where you come in...

From now thru March 31st I am taking submissions for a Crafter's Cafe logo!

Come up with a logo you feel is worthy to be emblazoned on the finest cuppa in the multiverse and you could win:

One (1) Grand Prize winner will receive:

1 Hero Merit spent to their choosing
20 Million Influence
and have the character of their choosing added as a cameo into the cafe!
Three (3) Runner Ups will receive:
1 random recipe from a Hero Merit roll
10 Million Influence
and have a text cameo in a clue in the cafe!
Post your entries in this thread and I will combine them with the entries from the Player Events thread to choose a winner! I will announce the winners the following week & send prizes via in-game gleemail. It's that easy.

(NOTE: if you do not have a way of hosting an image, you can PM me for an email address to send your entry to)

A little background if you need it:

The Crafter's Cafe is a 1 misison, non-combat story arc that features "City of"-themed beverages, iconic cameos, easter eggs, forum humor, and (most important) workable Invention Tables.

Simply enter the mission and use the crafting tables in the back room. Once you're finished crafting & exploring, find the glowing computer and click it to complete. No muss, no fuss.

Many players have found the cafe very useful as they use AE to stock up on specific salvage when crafting instead of paying inflated rates at the auction house. Now they can craft in the same building they buy their salvage as opposed to traveling back and forth from base/university/RWZ to AE and back.

Plus, it makes a crafting table available in almost every zone, red or blue side, since AE is almost everywhere!


I think that about sums it up! If you have any questions, post 'em here or PM me. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!


Craft your inventions in AE!!

Lol crafting tables in an MA arc. Genius!

...of course it makes the invention table I earned on my two main auctioneers a little less necessary heh (although it's still pretty
handy to be able to craft a drop instantly or make a new rocket pack, envenomed dagger etc mid-mission if they should happen to run out).



One --> Artz Giveaway <-- To Rule Them ALL!


I will settle this. ORANGE FTW! - Ex Libris

Okay contestants, there's just over 1 week remaining to get your submissions in!! Post 'em here or PM me for an email to send to and I'll host/post for you.

Caegmen's post got me to thinking...don't be discouraged if you're not a drawing expert. Cut & Paste is just fine. Photoshopped screenies are fine. Scribbles on lined paper are fine!

Get creative and have fun.

(scribbles can be fun: my silly sketch of CuppaJo from '06)

I actually started working on a logo weeks ago but then got distracted by school work. Last day of the quarter was today and I have a week off. I actually currently have two other things to work on, but if I get some spare time between those two things and catching up on playing, I'll try to finish up my entry.
