Talk about a tough decision. I think this is hands down the most successful contest I’ve ever thrown! We all saw Jackson Armstrong’s process video for his entry and everyone kept asking to see the final image. Well, here it is, in all its glory. The shear detail of this piece is mind-numbing! I can’t imaging the effort and time that went into it.

Jackson, you win 1st place which includes a set of Viking Hold Fast FRS straps, some stickers and a Viking New Era when they come in. Also included in your winning entry is a month of free exposure with a link to your portfolio site at the top of my sidebar. In addition, I’m going to try to work out a shirt deal with Jackson for this graphic! I’ll wear the hell out of it if everything goes as planned!

Read on below to see who won 2nd and 3rd.

Kyle’s hand-drawn rendition of the Viking landed him 2nd place. He wins a set of Viking Hold Fast FRS, some stickers and two weeks on the top of the sidebar.

Will Baker’s Necronomicog landed a place in my heart the first time I saw it. At 3rd place it’s perfect for that 300×250 slot. Will gets the opened set of Viking Hold Fast FRS (Hey, I had to open them to take the photos) and a week at the top of the sidebar.

Now guys, I know you all spent a ton of time on this contest and I appreciate all the effort that went into your designs. I am blown away that this was received with such enthusiasm. I got over 50 entries in the week that the contest was up. Thank you so much! Once I get the time, I’m planning on making a collage of all the logos. Should be up soon…

Winners, please email me your addresses and many thanks to Hold Fast!
