Ronix 101 art contest

Did anyone else do any board/binding art for the art contest? And if you did, have you heard anything back? I submitted my entry back in december and haven't heard anything yet, so I was just wondering if the contest is still going on.

I have been curious about this as well. Kevin can you post what created?

I figure the deadline is already passed, so no one can rip my work off, so here's the stuff I submitted. I wasn't quite done with it, and I never got a chance to work on the bindings. I'm not very good at photoshop or anything, but I figured it was worth a shot. Does anybody else have anything they submitted?

Stephen-
I sent it in already, and am hoping to hear back sometime soon.

Matt-
I drew it all first on paper, scanned it in, then took a long time to clean it up with photoshop before I made any layers or colors. I learned as I went.

So did anybody else send in an entry? I would really like to see what else people created.

It is one entry; first is the bottom, second is the top.

I tried entering my design but I got a return e-mail saying that the e-mail address for the art contest was invalid.

(wakeslife) · (wakeslife) **Join Date: Jul 2005** 01-11-2007, 5:35 PM

That is such a sick graphic dude! I would buy that deck in a second. Major props and I hope you hear back from them really soon

Will-
The email address didn't work? I wonder if they got mine...maybe I'll email them and find out. In the meantime, I'm sure people would enjoy seeing your graphic.

(cocheese) · (cocheese) **Join Date: Jul 2004** 01-12-2007, 5:08 AM

I also got a return on my email, so I sent an email to wakeboard magazine stating that the email address for the contest was not working. I then recieved an email from Paul Obrien with his email address and that is where I sent mine.

(dekay) · (dekay) **Join Date: Sep 2006** 01-12-2007, 7:48 AM

What's the address? By the way, no offense, but I've seen other designs and I'm pretty sure yours and mine don't stand a chance.

I love the colors and the layout is great... But I would never buy it...I don't support the war theme or anything that glorifies/promotes killing people.

(cocheese) · (cocheese) **Join Date: Jul 2004** 01-12-2007, 8:45 AM

The address that I was given was:
aul@squareoneco.com">paul@squareoneco.com

Will-
You're problably right, but it was fun to give it a try anyways.

Justin-
It's cool man, I'm glad you like the colors/layout.

(criswb) · (criswb) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 01-12-2007, 9:06 AM

that wasnt the address for the contest.. i think it was 101@ronixwake.com or something like that. The deadline was Dec 31st. Anyone have a any info on when will they announce winners?

(freewake) · (freewake) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 01-12-2007, 9:08 AM

101@ronixwake.com didn't work, so Paul O'Brien's email address was used instead.

(denverd1)

Kevin, that would be an awesome graphic. to me it says a lot more than "I promote killing people." I have a friend who is an artist. He painted something similar on a sheet of plywood. Its killer. HAHa

(criswb) · (criswb) **Join Date: Oct 2005** 01-12-2007, 9:16 AM

oh.... and where did you send yours? I never got an unsent message or something like that

(freewake) · (freewake) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 01-12-2007, 9:41 AM

I sent to both.

(cocheese) · (cocheese) **Join Date: Jul 2004** 01-26-2007, 7:47 AM

They have posted the boards on their web site, but mine are not there. Anyone else have the same problem? The site is:

(freewake) · (freewake) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 01-26-2007, 9:07 AM

Mine wasn't on there, so I just sent it to the email address they provided on the site.

(freewake) · (freewake) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 01-26-2007, 9:09 AM

actually it was, so nevermind

(wakereviews) · (wakereviews) **Join Date: Sep 2006** 01-26-2007, 9:47 AM

wow, there are a ton of really cool ones on there!

(freewake) · (freewake) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 01-26-2007, 10:36 AM

yeah, some of the designs are amazing. i gotta say, i really don't think mine has a chance against a lot of the other ones. great work to everyone who submitted.

(closedtoe) · (closedtoe) **Join Date: Jan 2007** 01-27-2007, 8:34 PM

i don't know if i am slow or maybe i just got a tid bit of inspiration that maybe others maybe never thought of.
After looking at the ronix backwards "R" symbol for so long so many times i started thinking.
maybe the '1" in the "R" has something to do with "square 1"
Then i realized that the curved part of the "R" is similar to an "S" when the R is backwards

SOOOO... maybe the "R" is actually "S1" for Square One AND an "R" for Ronix... AND the 1 can stand alone for a little company pride too i suppose.
