Congratulations to Crewman Kfir Even for his winning picture of a morning spacewalk. He can look forward to seeing his name surviving to the 24th century. Commiserations to the runners-up.

As part of the team's greater focus on the professional and corporate side of the project we have created logos for the new team name "Avalon Studios" and for the Evolved engine that Excalibur runs on.

Finally, our Visual FX Lead and one of our Modellers have been interviewed by the webzine Meteor Creations.

I have to admit that not even i thought of doing a space walk screenshots. Good winner :)

Avalon Studios. Very fitting, Avalon being the island where the sword "Excalibur" was forged. I like it :D. The Evolved engines logo is brilliant, i can just see it on the title slides before the main menu of the game. With a flickering animation or wavering light intensities on the letters.

Very proffesional indeed.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn it. I knew I forgot to do something. Oh well, it's better than what I planned to do. Good job, Kfir.

The logo looks superbly slick fellas, very professional.

Nice work and congratulations. I like the studios name.
I only wish it would be a bit bigger, you can barely see those figures.

That Evolved logo looks really great. Hopefully the brand will get big enough so "Evolved" won't need to be written underneath it; people will just recognize it.

1) Because Evolved is the game engine that Excalibur will run on - it has been under development by john for the last couple of years and has some really kick ass features.

1) Lewis is beginning to work on a new trailer at the moment, that will feature the Logos in motion as it were.

I know what evolved is and am i can't say  how happy i am because it's a engine made for excalibur i am asking why does it have "game engine" on it's logo , it's like Ferrari wrote "car" on a 430 . 

P.S. Did i just squeeze the info that there is a trailer in making ?
