As mentioned, I have a clear idea of the base I want (attached to contest). However, I as also mentioned, I do not want to unnecessarily stifle creativity - so they are presented as examples and guidelines. If you have an alternate idea, it will be considered as well. Specifically, I have the following guidelines (all of them do not need to be in the same image (except maybe for 1), they are just ideas): 1) Beard, hair and eye brows as the base (see attached examples and pictures of me). The left eyebrow (when looking at the picture) should have a parallelogram design, as I have a cut there (which you can't see prominently - sorry about that) with some hair missing as a result. The other eyebrow should look - and might be a good distinguishing feature. 2) My name is Roevan de Beer, so the name might be used for designers with ideas along the lines of image a.jpg. You can also use RDB as initials in some way if needed. 3) I've seen "FEAR THE BEARD" online a lot, and perhaps a spin on my last name could also work, such as: "Fear de Beer" which might go well with the beard logo - as de Beer sounds like "the beer" which is near beard. But de Beer actually means "The Bear" - I am not a heavy weight, but that might also spur ideas. 4) Some people have called me Roevanidas (in reference to Leonidas, the Spartan). I am just mentioning this not sure if anyone might think that useful. 5) MMA gloves might also feature in the design if someone is thinking of that. 6) Maybe a bobble head type of design could also work as an idea, i.e. big head, small body. 7) A hexagon shape around the logo might also work well, as this is the shape of the cage we are competing in - not an octagon as it is in the UFC (I am not competing there, hopefully one day!). 8) Designs do not have to be, extremely, over-realistically drawn.
