The GDC is taking it up a notch ... for those of you itchin to get back to the basics and something much more fast paced, prepare to meet your maker.

Every so often for the next few weeks, a new theme will be announced. You will be tasked to create a signature block based on this theme. Once a new theme is announced, you will not be able to go back to a previous theme. You will not know when new themes will be announced. You will not know exactly which will be the last theme. Your score will be judged based on the average scores of each of your entries.

Quickly produce entries or gamble with the timing? Play the averages and submit an entry for each theme? Wait for a theme that speaks more to your talents and interests? It's up to you, young padawan ...

Behold ... GDC XIV ... start your photoshop!!

They will be listed here - that way, it'll be even harder to post an entry of an older theme.

Your new sig rocks but I think it's breaking the forum rules, duder.

Theme #2 Cryptography

[Cpl Ledanek]

Inspired from "Kryptos" Scupture
Located in the northwest corner of the New Headquarters Building courtyard is a sculpture by artist James Sanborn entitled "Kryptos." Dedicated on November 3, 1990, the theme of this sculpture is "intelligence gathering." "Kryptos" incorporates native American materials such as wood and metal. A piece of petrified wood supports a large S-shaped copper screen that looks like a piece of paper coming out of a computer printer. On the "paper" are inscribed several enigmatic messages, each written in a different code. The sculpture continues to be a source of pleasure and mystery for Agency employees with a few employees taking the challenge to "break the code."
