Hi all,
Thanks to everyone that has submitted entries for consideration, a huge amount of time and effort was given over for free, and the end result is impressive!
We will now go ahead and vote - we're considering three aspects.
1. The shape of the actual logo - do we change it or keep the same?
2. The colour and texture applied to that logo.
3. The Mascots which will be used on some of the Shop clothing.
The link is here.
We'll keep it open past next weekend before taking on the next steps.We'll likely work with small groups of members to try out some ideas before settling on the final image, so there's more work to be done, but we're well on the way.

Welcome to the Arena!
We are setting up a new TAW tournament in preparation for the TAW Apex Legends Clan Wars where each team will run 5 matches and will be awarded points based the parameters listed below.
Every member of TAW is welcome and encouraged to participate, we will be setting up a signup sheet in the forums and shooting for a tournament date of 20/11/2020 "13:00 EST / 19:00 GMT+2
The tournament is going to be kept within private servers. So please show up 30 minutes prior to start of the tournament for organizing. Remember not to share the codes with anyone else outside of the participants.
Apex Legends is a free-to-play Battle Royale' style game that pits 60 players in squads of 3 against each other in a race against the clock for the ultimate prize to become Champions of the Arena!
In Apex Legends you choose one of 13 Legends, each with a unique backstory and a specific set of skills and abilities to aid your team to the final circle, you will need to think fast and make split second decisions to stay alive.
You start by jumping out of the drop ship and selecting one of the many locations on the map to find loot. Once you hit the ground, its a mad dash to find the best Armor, Guns, and Equipment hidden in loot chests and scattered around on the ground. But, don't expect the same tier loot every time you pick one location as the loot spawns are varied and you could end up getting stuck with low tier loot.
Get a kill, and you can loot that players death box for better tier loot and ammunition. But be careful, take too long looting one box and get sniped from across the map by one of the legendary sniper drops the game spawns randomly throughout the match.
If you go down, your team can revive you or if need be, collect your death box banner and re-spawn you at one of the re-spawn beacons located around the map.
But beware, if you are re-spawned into the arena you will be completely stripped of any loot you collected and must find something to defend yourself with quickly because other teams can see the respawn ship coming in and will be on the hunt for an easy kill.
The following point system will be used:

--------------
1st Place: 250 points

Dear all,
First of all can I thank everyone for showing up to our meeting tonight. We have an exciting few months ahead, starting with the launch of the new shop with added high quality merch, followed by our 20th Anniversary, and the new website.
Couple of examples of the new shop:
https://www.craniumapparel.co/product-category/havoc-gaming/
https://www.craniumapparel.co/product-category/midnight-gaming/
https://www.craniumapparel.co/product-category/replenish-hq/
As you can see, we're going to get a really high quality shop - so combined with the new website we need to ask ourselves if now is the right time to look at our logo, and potentially make the change to pave the way for these new features.
So what do I want? We need to provide a basic logo (like the one on our website), and a "Mascot" logo. I've created a folder for these so that you can see what is being proposed as it happens. Link here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nL909p5z66AB6p8NYZCw8it5MdAiX0Jj?usp=sharing
We're inviting members with any artistic ability to submit either primary logo suggestions or Mascot logos via email to me on mavericksabre@taw.net. I will put them into the folder.
We will have another meeting in two weeks to review, vote on them, and then the top 2-3 will go forward to the Top 5 and board for final consideration.
Tabs will be handed out to anyone that puts forward a suggestion, with medals for those that end up with a TAW logo running in the end. And don't worry about creating a Vector graphic, no matter the format (even crayon!) we will have the final result translated if it makes the final 3.
Any questions please ask!
Thanks,
Mav
We are holding a TAW-wide meeting on Sunday at 2000 GMT.
Please encourage all teams to attend, even if it's only for the first 20 minutes or so.
It's of huge importance, and could have a big impact on the future of TAW.
