All done now...
The winner is... Gemma Bright, with her colourful character "Essar". Geddit? S... R? Essar? Genius. And here he/she/it is.

Congrats Gemma, you've won the game of your choice, worth up to the value of £50 (check the rules and conditions on Gameaday.co.uk for more details)
-------------------------------------
After the debacle that was the Mag Shoot competition (in which people singularly failed to take any exciting pictures of their magazine but decided to take photos of it in mid-air for some reason), it's time to come back down to earth with a good old fashioned Extra GAD.
What we want you to do for this competition is easy; we want you to design a mascot for Special Reserve. Okay, chances are we're not going to use it, but we want to see what you can come up with. You can be as imaginative and out-there as you want (you can even be zany and bonkers!!!1), as long as you come up with a half-decent effort. If you really wanted, you could take it seriously and actually design a good one! Winning entries will win a game of their choice, the value depending on how good the entry is and what kind of mood I'm in. I'm expecting better entries for this one than the last competition. Please lord.
You've got until midnight June 15th to come up with a Special Reserve mascot, try and incorporate some SR-ness into him, like our example, Splatty here. You can post your entries in this thread if you wish, or send them to the usual Gameaday or Competitions e-mail address, or post them to Special Reserve Mascot Competition, Internet Department, 2 South Block, The Maltings, Sawbridgeworth, Herts, CM21 9JX.
It's all just a bit of fun! Hop to it, you cheese-eating monkeys!

Pretty darn good, I like the second one.
Well these are mine. I probably one of the only people that are actually trying, also please suggest names, bearing in mind the mascots aren't gay. (unlike Barney the dinosaur).

Its a *very* good idea FM, pity about the drawing though.
;oD
;oD
FM... I pity you. Times like this make me glad I can draw.
It is quite good for a little symbol in the top corner, but not much of a "mascot".
Thanks, that's the kind of reassuring feedback I enjoy :P
You have inspired me, so I've done another one:
Super-Stork In Action!

That... sucks balls. Seriously, even for a notable (I know you guys are "special") that's poop.
Bearing in mind that I can't draw (at all) and that I'm left-handed but using the mouse right-handed (OK, enough excuses), I present to you...
Special Reserve's Super-Stork!

I figured the S + R for 'Special Reserve' being intertwined would make the company name more memorable than just a splat (which symbolised a wax seal).
Plus the fact he/she resembles a stork is handy, as storks traditionally deliver newborns, which SR could twist around to their advantage:
Newborn games! Fast Delivery! Be the first to get it! plus lots of 'stork' puns - "We've been storking about for the best deals!", "Stonking great Super-Stork reductions!", - and so on. (OK, so that's lame, but I never said I was in marketing either).
