let's get straight into it.

Logo design survey results

So last week I asked you which logo design you preferred

Option 1

or option 2

Here are the current opinions (as of this morning).

Thanks to all who responded to the survey, your input helps us shape the project. If you haven't yet responded to the survey, you can fill it in here - https://forms.gle/Tte8fqKB44z59aL48.

One single question, it takes about five seconds - I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Now who made all this wonderful art?

Introducing the Battle Panda Art Team

In a previous email (Jan 15th, or in my archive in case you missed it - https://archive.aweber.com/newsletter/digitopia/MTczNzI5MjU=/battle-panda-2-announcement.htm), I introduced the writing team to you, this week it's the art team to take a bow.

Carlos Angeli is our Art Director and Lead Artist.

This is the third project Carlos and I have worked on, previously we collaborated on 'Digitopia 3 - Freedom's Illusion' and 'Battle Panda 1: Big Trouble in Panda City'.

Not only is Carlos such a great artist - he is superb to work with. I could not have hoped to collaborate with a such a good artist.

Carlos has done amazing art work, having been published by Mad Cave Studios, Alterna (IF Anthology), American Gothic Press, FutureQuake Press, Dark Oz, Time Bomb Comics amongst others.

Carlos is from Buenos Aires in Argentina.

On colours / colors, I'm thrilled to announce that we have Warnia Sahadewa joining the team.

She is a full time comic books colourist, working with Mad Cave Studios, Lion Forge, Titan Comics, Valiant, Short Fuse Media.

Warnia is based in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Also joining the team on letters is Justin Birch.

Justin Birch is a Ringo Award nominated comic book letterer who brings a tonne of experience on letters having lettered at DC, IDW, Dynamite, Lion Forge Comics, Mad Cave Studios, Action Lab Comics, DMC Comics, Source Point Press, Z2 Comics, and numerous indie publishers.

Justin is based in West Virginia, USA.

So here is the full team line up!

Do you have yourself on the Notify list?

Holding down a full time jobn, being a parent and making comic books can sometimes cause things to not always go precisely to schedule.

That is where the 'Notify me on launch' button comes in handy.

I have a very special opening weekend only offer to make to you - I'll give you more details of it next week.

If you want to make sure you get in on that offer the best way is to click/tap/smash that 'Notify me on launch button' to know the very minute we go live here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/farhanq/battle-panda-1-2.

As best as I can I will endeavour to email you when it is live, but I know my weekend schedule can sometimes go a bit haywire - so the 'Notify me' button is definately a good thing to click on - it is quick and easy to do (5 seconds and a click).

Be the first to know when we go live!

Sharing is caring

If you've already signed up for the notification or just after you sign up be sure to tell a friend.

Telling a friend or loved one is great for so many reasons

it's a great way to connect again with someone that you may not have seen or heard from in a long time,
the book will get funded quicker and we can start to unlock stretch goals for every backer
your friend / loved one will get themselves such a great Battle Panda reward

They'll be happy that you reached out - win-win-win.

I've set up a Backer Kit launch page for you to invite your friend or loved on to join in with here - https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/8b6a5eac-23af-4392-99cc-89cdb212d837/landing.

The backer Kit launch page gives a clearer idea of what the project is for those who may be unfamiliar with the project.

Tell a friend or loved one - they will thank you for it!

Thanks for being such a big part of this journey, indie books don't get made without you.

I shall see you next week with details of the Early Bird offer (hint, follow the Backer Kit launch page link to the landing page to get a preview :)

Thanks again.
