The ATL Company of the Month Contest Main Thread

This is an idea that I've been batting around for a while. And I've decided to post it now. Maybe after our discussion the other day, this will draw Æsir out and get him to show the stuff he was telling me about earlier.:D

But I digress. This contest shall be held every month using suggestions from AH.commers like you. The exact submission requirements will likely vary from month to month, depending on the nature of the company being designed. The specific requirements shall be posted in the Entries Thread every month.

The media you post for the contest does not have to be submitted all at once, and I will compile all entries for the poll thread after the deadline. You must be sure to submit everything required on the checklist, otherwise your submission will not be counted. Some things on the checklist will be required, other things will be optional.

You must also be sure that your submission meets the parameters of the contest. If it doesn't, you can alter the submission as much as you wish until the deadline. Alterations and submissions made after the deadline will not be accepted.

You can make suggestions for contest subjects at any time by posting them here, but make sure that they are posted in bold.

As this is being done in the Maps and Graphics subforum, it should be obvious that while you're allowed to provide textual background on the company, the bulk of your efforts should be focused on the graphics required for each contest.

And without further ado, let's get on with it. The first entry thread will be up in a few minutes, which of course will only be for entries. Discussion will take place in this thread.
 
Oh, damn you… :p

The stuff I made was just some very rough sketches anyway. I wouldn't use much of it if I was trying to win something, especially as I'm sure you'll be doing Narragansett Airlines anyway. To spite you, I think I'll post it now. :p

That's why I'm giving people a month. It'll take a while to produce stuff and get it to such a fine polish.

How would "real country" be defined? Is e.g. an airline from Communist Japan or Montezuma from the RCW-verse accepted?

As in not wholly fictional, like these that were just invented whole cloth. Communist Japan would be fair game. I know nothing about Montezuma.
 
BTW, I need some clarification : I get that countries existing in a vacuum, like Ruritania, are out... But what other countries would you disqualify ? Could an ATL monarchy set in the southern half of Madagascar count as a Ruritania ?

Nope, that's fine.

Just a reminder: you can submit material for the contest in multiple posts, and I will compile them for voting. I know many of you were very interested in this contest, but so far only two people have submitted material.

I'll submit my contributions soon, but I have to make heads and tails of them first.
 
To add to VT's effort and help you guys a bit, here's a resource that might prove useful for this current round (and any other airliner-related artworks you might start on AH.com) :

In the menu, click Templates, then Single Image, then select a specific type and subtype and save the template picture offered by the site.
