Presenting the new Neowin Logo

[emo]

You think? i took off the font bevel (didnt look right) and added just a drop shadow. Also, ive been experimenting with the PSD and i can make it have some sick looking color combo's.

damn, that looks amazing!

Please don't take an offense to this...

But what is wrong with the current one? It is basically the current logo with a basic bevel on it, which does not fit imo. Why not just cleanup the current logo instead of doing a new one?

[Matrix XII]

Wow, I like it a lot!

Looks good here!

Strikes me as that as well. This is the first I've seen of it and it seems like the shape has just been recreated and a little too much of the classic bevel/emboss property in PS (not that I'm saying that was used). I just wonder what it'd look like if it was a bit more subtle and smooth. I don't get the whole out of focus thing either, a larger size for show shouldn't cause that if it was made large enough :/

looking good! :happy: :yes:

[Mystical112]

nice... :)

i was thinking the same. it seems like the bevel and emboss filter was overdone in here. IMO looks...oldschool.

but hey who am i to judge, its what the admins like that matters i suppose.

Ack, I'm one of the few who aren't keen on the new logo!

:unsure: :unsure:

Oh well, as long as it pleases the rest of the community! (Y)

[Timan Veteran]

Just messing around, maybe keep the original look, just make it not look so outdated (gradient wise.)

i kinda like the old one better ... but a change is good!

[Tomi]

Not bad. :)

Will you still be able to use the old skins?

Yeah, We seem to be in the minority. But when I see strong bevels I just thing of AOL homepages, "LOLZ" and photoshop tutorials. Stuff like this comes to mind.

lmao... would less/smoother bevel make you happier (this is a design that wasn't used)?

Anyway, let's put it all this way. I showed a lot of different logos to Steve, and this is the one he really likes (the current one, not the one I attached). When put in the design, it looks very nice... ;)

[Dazzla Veteran]

Attachment isn't showing for me, I'm just not a fan of bevel unless it's subtley done, that's all.

Edit, showing now.

Awesome logo :)

I love the blue one

[sanctified Veteran]

Sorry, but I dont like it. the mockups made by Timan looks better. I am not used to such obtrusive bevel.

I like this one a lot. :) The extra stripe is (Y)

By the way, is the Neowin logo supposed to be reminiscent of the NURV logo from Antitrust?

[TruBD]

Timan, that second one looks fantastic!! (Y) nice work

[popsandthefamily]

excellent logo Timan, i tryed to capture that look using satin (which im not too familliar with) and you got it perfectly. Good job

[tlogank]

Yea, I like Timan's better actually...this new one just doesn't do it for me though...just my opinion.

[AJerman]

Oh yeah, I like Timan's a LOT more. The first one though. I don't really like the stripe in the middle, no reason for it really. The first one you did is damn sexy Timan. I'd love to see that on Neowin daily :)

[FlishFun Veteran]

Timan's is nice and all, but it just wouldn't fit in Neowin4. Anyways, this isn't a "what do you think of this logo" thread, this is the logo. :p Those who really like Timans will unfortunately end up disappointed.

[Draconian Guppy]

Timans is logo is nice...

The new logo is nice...

nobody looses :p

And will fortunatly be able to switch back to older skins :yes:. It's just an opinion of course, but if that's what all of Neowin4 is going to look like, then there is no way in hell I'll use it. Way to big and fancy. No offense, but it kind of looks like it was designed by a little 12 year old who just learned how to use all the Photoshop filters.

Again, that's just me, though it is unfortunate to hear you say with such authority that it IS the logo, no matter what we (the people who visit the site, and some of us, the people that help pay for the site) think.

Either way, I don't give a rat's ass what it looks like, I just visit the site for the site.
