I have been elected team leader for this task, as shown in the other thread.

As team leader I am making it my responsibility to make sure that everyones ideas will be noted for the task.

First up - names... any ideas?

Matt
03-09-2007, 08:35 PM
How about "Team Providings"? PMSL

Stu

Names first. Lets try and all pitch ideas and consider combining them. Pitch anything , no matter how good or bad.

Matt
03-09-2007, 08:37 PM
We provide the provides of a faster providings!

Stu
03-09-2007, 08:37 PM

Stu

Nicola , Matthew and OfficialSuperstar agreed via MSN too. Are we going to run with Taskjacker?! We need fonts lol.

Matt
03-09-2007, 08:45 PM
Yeah! That's a great name!

Courier is the obvious taskjacker font...

Stu

I can a zany definition. Give us a second.

Ruth*Star
03-09-2007, 08:46 PM
I like Base02 as a font, its just so Interesting but Unique!

Stu
03-09-2007, 08:48 PM
Taskjack : / v.1 to seize control
of an Apprentice task by farce
esp. to divert it from reason and logic
To kick the other teams ass

^^^ That would ideally be in something like Courier on the graphics. Speaking of which. What fonts can we use for other stuff?

Matt
03-09-2007, 08:48 PM
Ooh... that's a fantastic font Ruth! Grungy... I love it!

I can't wait to see Stu's definition... we need to get the others online!

Stu

Ooh yeah.

Courier for the texty stuff, Base 02 for the "Taskjacker" name...

Stu
03-09-2007, 08:50 PM
Can you cook up so graphics we could have a look at? Email them on to be and I can have a gander.

Yeah it is, i think it fits in with this task.

Matt
03-09-2007, 08:52 PM
I'll just post them here for all to see :thumbs:

We'll have to pitch our ideas to the others... we've all agreed on the name on MSN, but they've missed the font talk...

Matt08
03-09-2007, 09:53 PM
Just read through the thread, some of your ideas for names are both amusing and imaginative. I like the idea of the fonts that you have chosen, they will stand out and give out a striking look. Brilliant work guys, and well done Matt for the hard work so far.

Billy
04-09-2007, 11:45 AM
Oui, I agreeeee too

Nicola
04-09-2007, 03:53 PM
Wow, glad I didn't miss much last night then!

Sam
04-09-2007, 04:51 PM
Good efforts so far! Don't forget these need to be done for 5pm tomorow, to recap i need:

- A Team Leader
- A Team Name
- A Team Logo
- A Team Sig
- A Team Avatar

Thanks, post them in the Wednesday thread all together when done.

Matt
04-09-2007, 06:57 PM
- Team Leader: Me
- Team Name: Taskjackers

...should be pretty easy to do the graphics methinks...

Stu
04-09-2007, 06:58 PM
We got a witty name , a witty idea , some gritty designs in the pipe , and a delictable dish of pain for the other team to suck on :tongue:.

Matt

Fantastic. Do all team members need to display the created stuff on their profiles or what?

Whats next?

Matt
04-09-2007, 07:37 PM
Yeah I think we do.

Next on the list is a logo...

Captain.Remy
04-09-2007, 07:38 PM
Come on for the end of the show guys ! :thumbs:

Billy
04-09-2007, 07:40 PM

Well , base 2 stands out the most :thumbs:.

Matt
04-09-2007, 07:40 PM
What for a logo?

Should we just use the logo I did above?

Stu

Seems well enough to me. Gritty and Funny. Patronising yet satiracal.

I think its perfect, its simple, but it gets the correct message across.

You have 1 minute left for posting a comment on the show until it's over. Have fun ! :laugh:

Billy

Exactly. Its really effective. Perhaps most important of all , its dead impressive and professional looking.

Matt
04-09-2007, 08:00 PM
So these then?

One in black, one in white...

http://www.bbspy.co.uk/tibb/apprentice/taskjackerlogoblack.png
http://www.bbspy.co.uk/tibb/apprentice/taskjackerlogowhite.png

I think they're simple and to the point, yet look stylish enough too...

Billy
04-09-2007, 08:01 PM
I like the black ones

Ruth*Star
04-09-2007, 09:13 PM
I like the black one, problem is with the white one, its bland and the black one is easier on the eyes, and fits in with the font.

Matt
04-09-2007, 11:01 PM
But you can use black text on a black background, which is why I made two :thumbs:

Hello fellow Team 1 contestants. We still don't have a avatar or sig so I thought maybe we could have one final meeting tomorrow afternoon. Anyway when everyone is online we can get a discussion going. I thought maybe about going for a similar design to the logo for the sig and avatar with a Apprentice related image. I think we should take this task one step further by coming up with a slogan, this idea could also be discussed tomorrow. I would really like to make the sig, maybe someone else could have the job of making the avatar. Matt has made the logo, as everyone has probably seen.

Matt
04-09-2007, 11:47 PM
We are awfully pressed for time, the deadline is 5pm tomorrow...

....anyway, I threw this together and wanted to get your thoughts:

Absoutly brilliant Matt, is that the logo or the sig?

The sig, since I posted the logos above...

Matt08
04-09-2007, 11:53 PM
OK.

Matt08

Just made an avatar that can be added to the ideas. Hope you all like it!

Matt
05-09-2007, 12:46 AM
Here's my avatar:

Just superb Matt, your a brilliant team leader and have brought lots of ideas and workmanship to the team. That avatar is a must use!

Sam
05-09-2007, 06:20 AM
Some good graphics here, but as you know, 5pm tomorow is the deadline,

All you need is to post all your finalised graphics together which you want to be shown on the live show for the public to vote for and that's 5pm tomorow night.

Good luck, and don't forget the live show at 7pm, where the highlights of the task will be shown, the public will vote their favourite team identity, and TWO contestants will be fired.

In the case that the team does lose, Matt would have to select two team mates who he thinks has contributed the least in the task, and then James will decide who gets fired.

If you win, enjoy the moment, and be safe from eviction. The next task will start tonight and will end Friday - it's a quicker, smaller task and should be fun.

Matt
05-09-2007, 08:47 AM
Team brief:

Guys, if you fancy doing a sig or an avatar, make it and post it here. At 4.30pm I will take a vote as to which two to submit.

Billy
05-09-2007, 09:53 AM
Matt Id say use those ones, I dont think were gunna get any better

Nicola
05-09-2007, 01:45 PM
Yeah I'd have a go seeing as I feel bad for not participating in the chat last night, but they will be nowhere near as good as yours Matt so I'll leave it and hopefully get my chance to contribute a bit in the next task!

Ruth*Star
05-09-2007, 02:42 PM
Those are awesome Matt, i don't think we are going to get anything better, good job.
I specially like the way the font moves on the gif animation.

Matt
05-09-2007, 03:12 PM
You have 18 minutes before the final vote...

Sam
05-09-2007, 03:14 PM
You have 45 minutes to submit all the graphics and team details into the Wednesday thread.

Matt
05-09-2007, 03:30 PM
Well, you had your chance... we've only got the sig I made, but there are two avatars to choose from. Team, whose do you choose?

Stu
05-09-2007, 03:32 PM
Im definately happy with the graphcis we have got. Nobody is going to come up with anything better on this team so lets run with it I say...

Oh and I choose Matt's avatar...

Matt08
05-09-2007, 03:35 PM
I think we should go for Matt's graphics.

Nicola
05-09-2007, 03:36 PM
I vote Matt's graphics

Matt08
05-09-2007, 03:38 PM
I think we have a clear winner then.

Matt
05-09-2007, 03:39 PM
OK.

We have no time to waste so I'm submitting the graphics now.

Anything else you want to add before I do?

Stu
05-09-2007, 03:40 PM
Nothing else to add. Good job everyone.

Matt08
05-09-2007, 03:40 PM
Don't think so.

Matt
05-09-2007, 03:45 PM
In which case, that is us officially done...

Sam
05-09-2007, 03:47 PM
Well done! The first task is officialy over for you!

Tune in on the main forum, at 7pm to see the results,

Please try to be online, and good luck!
