i was joking. this whole thing is ridiculous. under "contest entries" Fredd has succeeded in posting only a selection of the entries, including a great number from his girlfriend, and ignoring those that displeased his fine aesthetic sense, on his fan site. it was in fact a contest to even be mentioned as a participant.

but yours looks like an old sticker on a body-board. very cool! i would have liked that. might have even driven others to visit.

EXCUSE ME?

Are you deliberately being an obnoxious lying troll over here? Have you even looked @ http://bocpages.org/wiki/bocpages:Skins#Contest_entries

There are in total 29 entries by 8 distinct persons. I've uploaded ALL of the submissions I received by mail and by forum postings. Everyone was able to submit a max of 5 entries. I uploaded ALL I received.

From the 29 entries there are four by my girlfriend Neels.

What's your fucking problem I wonder?

nice way to avoid the whole discussion. you better reply something valid to my last statement in stead of being such a negative troll. your way of acting is a disgrace to our userbase.

this music isn't all about airplanes and moss and being groovy. its about ideas. i'm happy to disgrace this disneyland dream manufactured by the collective conscious of this userbase.

this continual and inflexible branding is absurd masterbation. the music itself is comical, wry, intense, uncanny and very important. this choosing is an awful trend. you are boxing it up nice and tight for everyone.

Thanks for the feedback, I would have loved to be involved in this from the start. I could have developed my idea a lot further (i only quickly put it together). 90% of my artwork is BOC inspired and the idea of working on a logo seemed like a dream job! I'm a little disappointed in the logotype final selection, but thems the breaks.

If anyone is interested some of my BOC inspired artwork is at www.behance.net/bananaoctopus

you are completely missing the point. the things you've said were a total lie and utterly inappropriate. you have no grounds to act like you've did. there's nothing we've done wrong to you, but yet you still picture me like some egocentric bastard who is only uploading a subset of artwork that has been submitted and being prejudiced about which specific entry gets allowed or not.

I still haven't heard any explanation or excuse of these false statements you made and that's what really disappoints me the most.

Always interested in boc inspired artwork by fans. There's a section on the bocpages where I upload pictures being sent to me by fans.

http://bocpages.org/wiki/Pictures#Artwork_by_Fans

You could have a section over there if you want. Just provide me some of your boc inspired work by e-mail and I'll be happy to add it to that page with a link to your professional website.

Everyone's banner entry has been added to the bocpages as you can see. I don't see anyone complaining not to be submitted?
The fact that I contributed too is because I'm into graphic design, illustration, photography and BoC.. What's wrong with that? It's not because Fredd-E 's my boyfriend, he automatically thinks my banners are the best. On the contrary, he's constantly talking about what great entries have been made. He's not that superficial, you know.
In the end, it's not Fredd-E who chooses the winning banners, that depends on the people who're going to vote eventually.

That sounds great! I'll have a good look-sy through my stuff and get back to you. I'm working on something at the moment that could be appropriate.
