You should add them to Fan photos on the Facebook page! http://www.facebook.com/AMD/
How do we add them? I was looking for some kind of "ADD PHOTO" button but didn't see one.
Oh, sorry about that -- all you have to do is post to the AMD Facebook wall and attach a photo - then it shows up in the Fan Photos section. :)

Well I asked some of my friends which one they would like to see if it got made, and more chose the one with the AMD logo, so I'm gonna submit that version, which I will include here:

It adds more up to the rest of the logo I guess, it indeed is better. GJ ;D

Btw, this is an awesome forum.
How come i never heard about this place before?

I read a couple reviews on hardware i was interested in and also about some stuff i never heard before ( wireless mobile charger O_o ) and i have to say they were actually objective reviews of the items.

Contest aside, im definitely going to be reading this forum a lot, even if i don't post, rest assured i'll be checking for hardware news at least a couple times per week.

Hein345, Can you make it clear which version you are entering please, as at the minute it just looks like you've thrown all three up for good luck :rolleyes:

As I said to Electric Dragon earlier; depending on the mood of the judge, either the first one you posted will be chosen by default, or you'll be disqualified for not following rules. And we don't want the second one to happen do we!

Yes, I assumed for the first one to be chosen when the time is there, in the mean time I just put the others up to switch if I got a final decission.
I assume that I still got till the end date until they can disqualify me right?
Ohh and I saw my post wasn't very clear either, sorry for that.

Yeah, you wouldn't be disqualified (if at all) until the entries were collated at the end of the competition. It could be me being pedantic, but I just want to make sure everyone plays it safe rather than risk falling foul of the rules :partyman:

Now that it's clarified which one you're entering, you should be fine to leave your post in that style if you make any more changes. :)

I have a question, what will be the color of the fan? HIS blue or ATI red?

I was wondering the same thing!! I was worried about the fan "being lost" in my red if it's the ATI red :(

I'm not seeing any Xs either, you must have it so images can't be displayed or something
