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!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
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.
Ok, here’s an entry for ya … http://www.flickr.com/photos/jolshefsky/6207935335/ .
Electronics Halloween Graphic. Nice and simple.

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.

Happy Halloween!
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 😀

i could make it both LEDs or caps if you like

@Renee: Diode eyes were just too obvious! 🙂
P.S. My JackOSchematic works.
My quick logo hack uses the OSHW logo:

Here’s my submission

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:
