REMINDER – CONTEST: Make an “Electronic Halloween” graphic

CONTEST: Make an “Electric Halloween” graphic, each day this month we’re going to feature a cool project from around the web that has electronics AND has something to do with Halloween. We don’t have a graphic for this effort so we’re going to have a contest. Just make a graphic for “Electronic Halloween” and post a link to it in the comments. We’ll pick our favorite one and use it for our posts!

THE PRIZE: $150 in the Adafruit store!

DETAILS: Make the graphic (at the most) 600 x 600, it will be used on each post here for the projects we feature! Make it Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0. Deadline, let’s say October 8th!

Good luck!

Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

Join us every Wednesday night at 8pm ET for Ask an Engineer!

    Cool Idea! Always looking for new fun ways to celebrate!

    Here’s my submission. I’ve made two different versions of this… I just couldn’t decide between traditional colors or Halloween colors.

    Just had a quick look at the submissions, and if I was going to try to make a design, I would want it to look like Paul Asselin’s. Nice work!

    This has been fun! Jason and I seem to have had the same idea of using LED symbols for jack-o-lantern eyes 😀

    @Renee: Diode eyes were just too obvious! 🙂

    P.S. My JackOSchematic works.

    Here is my design: I thought why just make a 2D graphic? Why not make a graphic that actually works if etched. And that’s what i did:

    Logo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ozeraser/6222224588/

    Video of it as a PCB (working): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2K6aeDXkKQ

    Post with instructions and info on what i did:
    http://www.l8ter.com/?p=432

    Hope you enjoy it as much as i did designing it and making it. (Etched my first board because of this competition :P)
    The logo is also a Vector so, any size is possible, transparency is possible, colour change easy.
