Clan Emblem Contest #4

veganzombiez: Emblem Contest #4 - Carnival/Mardi Gras It's time for Carnival!  Dance in the streets to the marching band as you catch the goodies tossed from the parade's majestic floats.  Show your Clan's prowess with all things Carnival, and grab some gold from the Wargaming America float!  All you have to do is create the most Carnival-inspired version of your Clan's emblem that the NA community has ever known!   For those who are unsure what Carnival is, it is a major celebration around the world. Those of us in America will likely find it closely resembles how we celebrate Mardi Gras. Think bright colors, parties, masquerades, dancing, parades, and all-around celebration in the streets.     How to enter In this topic: -Post your current (non-themed) emblem and your new (themed) emblem -Post your Clan tag/name -Post which player in your clan did the artwork.   Contest Rules -Clan emblem can be any of the 4 sizes (24x24, 32x32, 64x64, 195x195). -Contest closes February 17, 2015 23:59 PST -Clans may submit multiple entries, however only one per Clan will be eligible for prizes. -Clan must submit their original (non-modified) and entry (themed) emblems. -All entries must follow the overall rules for Clan emblem usage (See section 3) -Entries must adhere to the contest's theme to be eligible to win any prizes.

While we may be a little more lenient on what can be included in emblems for this contest, it would be wise to make sure that your entries still fall within the rules. Do not insult any religions, do not use any religious symbols in a derogatory fashion, and do not create emblems to preach or promote any specific religion. When in doubt, just play it safe and use a mask instead. Names, Avatars, Images/Video, Signatures & Clan logos ....
