AfterDawn.com v3 launched - win a T-shirt!

19 December 2003 22:39 by Petteri "dRD" Pyyny | 99 comments

It has been a long time coming, but the new AfterDawn.com v3 (version 3) layout is now here! It has taken literally hundreds of hours of designing, coding, and testing to get to result you are seeing before your eyes. To celebrate the release, we are giving away ten AfterDawn.com T-shirts to our members! If you already entered the draw before December 22nd, please enter again!

A bit of background information

The pages have been designed from scratch by Teemu P�rssinen, our web designer (his home pages are only in Finnish, unfortunately). He has done an amazing job in turning our sometimes more than vague requests into reality.

After the layout was "locked", Petteri "dRD" Pyyny took over the pages and started transferring the old pages to the new layout. Many of the pages were actually re-coded to improve performance and functionality, and all of the pages were optimised and tweaked.

In addition to the new looks you'll find some new functionality from the site. But you can count on us adding nice little new features in the near future, as soon as we have ironed out the inevitable bugs and problems with the new page, and sat back for a while and taken a breath!

If you feel a bit lost, please take a look at the small help page we have put together. There's also a page map available, that outlines the structure of the site. Please report any problems via the feedback form. If for some reason it doesn't work, you can also email us directly at support@afterdawn.com. Unfortunately we did not manage to finish the Finnish version of the new layout in time for the launch. It will be released in January, 2004.

Win a free AfterDawn.com T-shirt!

Back of T-shirt

That's right! To celebrate the launch of the new layout we are giving away ten (10) AfterDawn.com T-shirts for absolutely free. All you need to do is post a comment to this news article to be included in the draw.

You can see the back of the T-shirt printing on the right (click for a bigger image). On the front of the shirt there's an embroidery of the AfterDawn.com v3 -logo.

Winners will be drawn at random on December 31th. We decided to extend the deadline to make sure everyone whose entry was lost due to the database wipeout has enough time to enter again. The winners will be contacted via email, so make sure your account information is up to date. Good luck! And Merry Christmas!

i think the site has the most modern asthetics I have ever seen, it is quite obvious that this master outline will recognized as the lead of many duplicates. I was equally amazed at the t-shirt design and would love to print them for you free, you supply the shirts. I can not however embroider the front but can screen an equally impressive front logo for you!! Please contact me you have the info, i would need the artwork 3 days before print.

Just under two hours to the end of the "contest"! Winners will be drawn tomorrow, January 1st 2004 (so I guess it should say "the contest will close on December 31th.. Oh well. =) ), and the results will be announced later the same day. Happy New Year from Oulu, Finland! [ + quote]
