O.K., I am once again breaking my vow to take a December vacation from blogging to bring you news of yet another generous Christmas gift! LOGO is giving away the Bella female and Jace male Bento, Bakes on Mesh-compatible heads. Simply join the LOGO Update Group for free, and pay each vendor one Linden dollar, which will automatically be refunded. Here’s what the vendors look like in the LOGO store (SLURL):
The group notice states:
To help celebrate the holidays the Bella and Jace head for FREE until Jan. 1st, 2022. We’ve also released a new skin, Sonja, for Bella which is only L$299 during the event!
PLEASE NOTE: My blog is still on indefinite hiatus; I have made a single exception for this blogpost. After this, I am returning to my self-imposed break from blogging.
If you were on the ball and picked up the free Chase and Chelsea heads from LOGO last October, boy, do I have a great deal for you! Did you know that you can pick up a new male or female LOGO Bento mesh head for only L$300, each and every month? It’s currently one of the best deals on the grid, and I wanted to alert you to it!
Just go to the LOGO store, and look for the following display near the entrance:
The red arrows show you where to get more information on LOGO’s Group Deal of the Month, and where to click to buy the monthly heads for only L$300 each
Click on the black sign that says Group Deal of the Month, which will give you a notecard that informs you of how the deal works:
Every month LOGO will be offering an older head as a group-only deal at a heavily reduced price. In order to purchase the discounted head you must join the LOGO Update Group and have the group active when making your purchase. The group is free to join…
There are 2 options for buying the head. If you’re an existing LOGO head owner who already had the HUDs (customization and animation HUDs) you can purchase just the head and skins for L$300. If you’re a new customer and want to be able to use appliers and animations you can buy the bundle which includes the L$999 HUDs pack for L$1,295.
And the good new is: if you picked up the free Chase and/or Chelsea heads last October, you already have the HUDs!There’s no need to spring for the full bundle! And even if you do have to buy the HUDs, you do not need to rebuy them for any subsequent heads you buy from LOGO.
Here’s what the LOGO Jace male head looks like, right out of the box, paired with the dollarbie Classic mesh body the Meshbody/The Mesh Project. I used the default brow shape and head/body shape, with zero changes to the body sliders, and I used one of the five Bakes on Mesh skins included in the package (this is the Blaze skin tone), Isn’t he handsome?
The Jace male Bento head from LOGO
I picked up a free hairstyle and some free clothing from Fitch’s excellent menswear freebie store (more info here), fiddled with a few of the head and body sliders, and this is my final result! I am quite pleased with this look, and with the rugged masculine features of the LOGO Jace head.
LOGO is celebrating its 15th anniversary in Second Life, and as part of their festivities, the store is giving away two free Bento, Bakes on Mesh-compatible mesh heads, one for male avatars and one for female avatars. All you have to do is join the LOGO Update Group for free, teleport to their sales platform here, pay the panel one Linden dollar (which is automatically refunded), and the Chase or Chelsea heads are yours!
If you land at the main store, just click these boards to get the SLURL for the sales platformHere is the sales panel for the Chase Bento mesh head (L$1, refunded) and a set of Bakes on Mesh skins and eyebrows for the head (L$299). The sales panel for the Chelsea head is immediately opposite the Chase panel in the central square.
Here is what the Chase head looks like, with the default body and brow shape, and without any adjustments to the sliders. He’s quite the handsome fellow!
The L$299 skin package for Chase comes with five skin tones: blaze (shown), chestnut, copper, pale and umber, and six colours of eyebrows: black, blond, brown (shown), light brown, red, and white. But of course, you can use any Bakes on Mesh/system skins, hair bases, tattoos, etc., so if you are short of Linden dollars, just buy the Chase head for free, and hunt around for free or inexpensive BoM/system skins to use with it.
Here’s what the Chelsea head looks like (again, using the included default body and brow shapes, and without making any changes to the sliders):
The Chelsea head is, like the Chase one, only L$1, and your Linden dollar is automatically refunded. The L$299 skin package for Chelsea includes six skin tones: alabaster, almond, amber (shown), bloom, cocoa and cream, plus eight different colours of eyebrows, eight eyeshadows, and eight lipsticks. Here’s a look at the fully-styled result, utilizing the dollarbie Classic female mesh body by The Meshbody (more details here):
Both the Chase and Chelsea heads comes with a head animation override with natural, neutral movements, a nice little bonus.
Here is the full anniversary announcement from LOGO:
LOGO celebrates their 15 year anniversary with a big event starting on October 23 that will run 15 days until midnight SLT on November 6th. Founder Maximillion Grant and his team will be celebrating with the release of two new heads, Chelsea and Chase (shown here) which will be FREE during the event. These new exclusive heads have been reworked from the ground up to fully support pre-mesh skins and makeup via Bakes on Mesh meaning most of your old skins should fit perfectly. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Of course appliers will still be supported and the customization HUD has received a much needed update as well.
Max has over a dozen talented designers working on unique products for the new heads. These designers include skin designers The Skinnery, Pink Fuel, Lara Hurley, makeup designers Izzie’s and Alaska Metro, shape makers iEvolve, Cree Moi and Wren’s Nest and hair designers Mina and Exile plus more. In addition Meshbody will be having a draw to give away copies of their full Legacy bodies.
Stay tuned for more prizes and giveaways during the event!
Draxtor Despres did a two-minute profile of Maximillion Grant as part of his Fashion Made in SL documentary miniseries:
The Chase and Chelsea heads are only available until midnight Second Life/Pacific Time on November 6th, 2020, so be sure to pick yours up before they’re gone!
UPDATE Oct. 28th, 2020: I forgot to mention that, in order to set up your Chase or Chelsea LOGO head properly, you will have to use two HUDs, a blank Customization HUD, and (if you purchased the separate L$299 skin kit) a Skins and Options Installer HUD, which allows you to copy over all or only the options you want to use on the Customization HUD:
The system is unlike what you might be used to with other brands of mesh heads, but the instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Check out this silver fox! Complete styling credits are below.
