The creators of The Banner Saga, Stoic and Versus Evil, have recently launched a contest called “Creating the Banner” to generate an epic community banner that will travel with them to trade-shows, conferences and other events. The banner will represent the great community of players and fans as well as the experiences that they went through while playing The Banner Saga. We want to bring this contest to the attention of all our awesome and artistic fans here at Gamepedia, home of the Official Banner Saga Wiki, with the hopes that you can earn an opportunity to be recognized for your artwork!
"The Banner Saga has been applauded by reviewers and fans alike for the art style, something we are incredibly proud of. We’ve seen such great fan art for the game that it made sense to ask our fans to assist us in designing a real life banner. We are looking for designs based on the traditional Viking runic art style as seen on the Godstones in the game,” said Stoic’s Art Director Arnie Jorgensen. “One way of recording history in early Viking times was for each family to contribute (sew) their own ‘saga’ onto their clan’s banner. Similarly, we plan to include some of the best designs submitted in this contest to create a twelve foot banner depicting our fan’s experiences with the game, creating a community ‘saga’." - From the Makers of The Banner Saga
