It’s time to step up and show the world what you’ve got when it comes to heraldic flair. Namco Bandai Games Europe has announced the Dark Souls shield design contest, open to everyone from 27 June to 28 July 2011 on the game’s official Facebook page.
To take part, create up to three original shield designs using any of the three blank templates provided. Next, submit your heraldic works of art, then sit back and watch the votes stack up as fans around the globe admire your handiwork and choose their favourites. The final winners will be hand-picked by the Dark Souls development team at FromSoftware in Japan.
The three winning designs, one for each shield template, will be made available as Dark Souls post-launch content, meaning three lucky winners will be able to stride into battle with their friends online, proudly bearing the shield they designed. Of course, every other player will also be able to carry the shields designed by their compatriots.
How to enter
● Become a fan on the official Dark Souls Facebook page.
● Download the blank shield templates
● Create up to three original masterpieces of heraldic design
● Submit your finished designs via Facebook on or before 13 July 2011
Fans will be able to vote for their favourites on Facebook throughout the competition, with voting open until 20 July to allow last minute entries time to gather votes.
The top ten designs for each of the three shield templates as voted for by Facebook fans will then go to FromSoftware for the final decision, with the winning designs being announced via Facebook on 28 July 2011.
Each of the ten winners will receive a copy of Dark Souls signed by game director Hidetaka Miyazaki. The final 3 winners will see their designs brought to life for all time in the Dark Souls universe, and will receive a signed copy of the limited edition game plus their names in the game credits, ensuring immortality no matter how many times they die while playing.
