THE NOW-OFFICIAL DESIGN UKR A NEW LOGO COMPETITION
It’s official – we’re dumping Sonic. It was an abusive relationship we stayed in for way too long. Now that HOG must be kicked to the KERB for all our sakes, lest we forever be stained by his present-day CRIMES.
So please, send in your ideas for new UKR logos. Preference will be given to ones that fit the existing gap, are less than 20k and look like the sort of proper logo you might see on a proper web site done by proper people for proper people to read.
Here’s a few we’ve got in so far. There’s no closing date.
You can be serious. It doesn’t have to be Blaze Fielding sucking Ryo Hazuki’s cock, although that would probably get linked to by Kotaku so if you have the art skills and time…
You probably won’t be able to beat this, mind.
The SEGA font’s a bit hackneyed, to be honest.
You can email them to ukresistance@hotmail.com, or put them in the comments or whatever. How you submit them isn’t part of the competition. Just don’t turn up at the house with them drawn over the welcome page of an old copy of SEGA Saturn Magazine.
We’d also accept £17k off Sony’s marketing division to make it Sackboy for two months or 500k page impressions. The money would be spent on registering the domain name and buying web space for the next ONE THOUSAND YEARS.
Or this, with Jacques walking past and the sign saying something about suicide rates?

First one looks like a cunting iPod ad so it should GO AND DIE, it’s gotta be the 2nd one really hasn’t it?
Maybe someone could put Segata Sanshiro in the back seat?
December 3rd, 2008 on 2:40 pm
First one looks like Ulala has a flailing arm growing from her left breast.
December 3rd, 2008 on 2:44 pm
Can it just be a PSP smashed by a PS3 and tossed in a bin filled with the new Golden Axe?
December 3rd, 2008 on 3:24 pm
Blaze Fielding….
I used to fancy her like mad when I was a kid…
December 3rd, 2008 on 3:51 pm
there needs to be a slight gap between the f and the o in food on the last one. other than that it’s a winner.

Blaze Fielding Cosplay. Without Panty Shots, though.
That’s one fantasy destroyed then.

If anyone is thinking of doing a 3D render of a UK:R emblazoned tank driving over the skulls of Sonic and discarded PS3s, then fuck off, I thought of it first, I’ve put first dibbs on the idea and I’m working on it.

Listen, we’ve all got to let go at some point. I think your time is now, my friend.
December 3rd, 2008 on 5:14 pm
Not that black and white Ulala, look’s like a fucking ipod advert.
December 3rd, 2008 on 5:31 pm
Blaze Fielding sucking Ryo Hazuki’s cock? I’m sure that would involve sailors as well wouldn’t it?
December 3rd, 2008 on 5:35 pm
The first might look like an iPod advert which sucks but it fits the old style logo of UK:R.

Sonic.

i want a logo with the swill man’s fat fucking face on it
December 3rd, 2008 on 9:15 pm
I vote the first one, as it doesn’t break with the previous style.

There’s my attempt. I spent ages trying to decide who had the charisma, charm and sheer lovableness of Sonic, and only one man could fill the gap for me. With bonus appearances from That Guy from JSR who I can’t remember the name of because I always played as Gum, and Ulala.
December 3rd, 2008 on 10:34 pm
Except it’s clearly not under 20k. So you can edit it yourself. I tend to save things as png because I’m a bandwidth consumer whore.

Finally, an excuse to submit that porn pic I once found with a Saturn box in the background.
December 3rd, 2008 on 11:39 pm
Kotaku are the shithole of the internet, that and IGNorance, this site should be ashamed of being mentioned there.
Anyhow, I like the second one and the Knuckles one. Maybe a banner with the Dreamcast toilet paper or maybe a rendering of Blue Skies. Uhm… maybe PS3 getting smashed or even this Sonic now, very iconic… I’m not sure.

Oh come now, the shithole of the internet? Really? You’re just mad you can’t come up with a witty wordplay using our name and had to resort to mentioning IGN in the same comment to get your fix.
As for Kotaku considering this news, Kotaku isn’t purely a news site, so not everything posted there has to be news news. News. news. nuse.
December 4th, 2008 on 3:43 am
Kotaku can fuck off. Self-important cock holes circle-jerking each other into a frenzy of self-important cockhollery.
They ban people they don’t agree with and call others elitist if they don’t agree with someone else. Never once have a laughed at a Kotaku post, yet their boards are filled with little twats saying “LOL”, “Funniest thing evar!!!!”, “You made my day!!”. It isn’t purely a news site, it’s also about ego of the editors.
Kunt-Otaku.
Kocktocku.
Take your pick.
December 4th, 2008 on 3:47 am
I like the Ulala one because her hand looks like one of Sonic’s claws but mainly because she looks like she’s shoving the microphone up her arse.
December 4th, 2008 on 4:29 am
I like the current logo myself, but, if it must change, then use the Richard Jakes Outrun one, hands down.
December 4th, 2008 on 9:17 am
Can we have a war with Kotaku please, Zorg?
December 4th, 2008 on 9:33 am
I like boobies, and spamming, and kotaku is alright. I’d draw a picture but I ran out of crayons :(
December 4th, 2008 on 10:14 am
@ Kotaku, please dont try any justify yourself with any form of rational argument here. it wont work.
December 4th, 2008 on 11:11 am
There are some awesome comments over on Kotaku about this, all UK:R regulars should get over there and check out how we’re seen by the hard-of-comprehending. It’s hilarious, but also bad and depressing because I wasn’t aware that todays 12 year olds were, on average, such fuckin’ morons.

Interesting reading indeed at cockatoo. Someone called Garo at 1 in the moring wrote:

I’ll say this for us, UK:R posters are generally more articulate.

Shit. He knows about our dead….
December 4th, 2008 on 11:41 am
all these logos look like shit.
can’t we just have sonic from sonic 1 up there?
December 4th, 2008 on 11:49 am
Here’s another random comment found as a result of visiting Kockupurarseortwo:
“I wonder what UK:R will say when PS3 starts selling well.”
Hilarious.
December 4th, 2008 on 1:11 pm
My second attempt at posting correctly. I can’t even be bothered attempting some witty introduction to my epic fail of a logo.

December 4th, 2008 on 1:24 pm
This excellent little gem is from kockortwo
They are using a Nazi-Phrase “Arbeit macht frei” and changed it to “Spiel macht frei”. This Phrase was placed at the entrances to a number of Nazi concentration camps. So many Jews Families and their Children, Homosexuals, people with disabilities and many others are murdered at those Camps and UKResistance thinks it was a Game???…
I wasnt aware that anything any Nazi ever said or wrote was a Nazi-phrase??? Du spinst!
December 4th, 2008 on 1:49 pm
Wow. The comment leavers of kotaku are a humourless and illiterate bunch aren’t they.
I have just posted a comment regarding “arbeit macht frei” being adopted by the Nazi’s rather than it being a Nazi slogan, in a similar way to the swastika.
And apparently your anonymous comment has to be “approved”. I thought this was the internet, with free speech, not Nazi Germany!
WV-tquitsmo- Yes, they did quit making gran turismo.

December 4th, 2008 on 7:35 pm
Kotaku seem to have taken down all the negative comments. Shame.
December 4th, 2008 on 9:29 pm
We can’t have a war on Kotaku – all it has to do is post up a link saying we’ve got Cosplay porn and the brave UKR server will die in seconds.
December 4th, 2008 on 9:42 pm
Phill, you are a hero for going through all that effort.
I was going to try reuse my six Megadrives atop the PS3 but it’s too tall to fit properly.
As for the war with Kotaku, I prefer the war with Wikipedia and the Lair entry, that was the highlight of the internet. Warring with Wikipedia’s less hassle, too.

Honestly I am dissapointed at this whole thing. I remember I couldn’t wait to use those codebreaker codes on the Dreamcast so I could use crazy weapons and magic with Sonic and Tails on PSO. When I heard of Sonic and the Black Knight I thought it was cool to see Sonic in a camelot-esque fantasy world killing baddies with a sword. It’s not like Sonic has been placed in a bad city setting, murdering humans and performing criminal acts. This game is going to look beautiful, something I wouldn’t be afraid to show my 8 year old nephew. Thats what I thought blue skies forever was all about.

Loving the March to Germany/PSland one, well both really, but anything that associates Sony with the Nazis has to be a thumbs up!
