Neowin v5 promo

[Pox]

like... ew :x

that logo isnt the neowin5 logo, and you've done a pretty bad job (no offense) of cutting it out... and i would have made the text pure white with a subtle glow.

here's the official promo:

:rofl:

I agree with Pox though, it doesn't look that great. The neowin logo looks very random, and the choice of font colour is too light. ;)

[teh h4x0r5]

Umm.. what can I say? It's truly awful! :x

Sorry, I don't like it :no:

[Julius Caro]

I like it.

Maybe using the actual blue logo and adding some dropshadow to that text would make it look great :D

[Morgan]

Ummm no.

sorry, but that is :x :x :x

The idea is pretty good, the presentation wasn't that great. Change the text to be white, maybe with a drop shadow or a slight glow, and the logo needs to be changed also.

[amroth]

heehhehe. the image was not a very nice things to see. the idea was good. good advertising idea, that's the best. :D

[Pox]

here we go, i've drawn on your idea, it was good. the graphics work, however, wasnt.

this is all original artwork, yes i made the hills :p

no i didnt design the logo :p

but i traced the vector :blink:

[Rob Veteran]

Umm...

Umm...

The compression on the image isn't bad. Good job on having no JPG artifacts.

Edit: For future reference, please note the original poster has edited the image and replaced it with a better one. The comments above refer to the initial image. The lens flare and work on the logo have improved it no end, and I congratulate the original poster for doing some great alterations.

How about we don't flame the guy for lack of skill, and help him improve his work.

If your child came home and showed you a mess, would you call it utter crap, just because they havn't aquired the set skill yet? No. Same applies folks.

[Arctice]

yeah... um, not much better.

it's a bit dark, and the text is still :x

make it white with white glow.

the sun flare on the logo isn't bad.

[macro]

It's a good concept, but you need more blue in it definitely. Don't feel bad about the people ganging up on you, some people don't know how to criticize contructively and you can't blame them for not knowing, so definitely keep up the efforts!

Aw come on, if he'd had spent hours on it we wouldn't have been so harsh. It was clearly done v. quickly and without much thought (the logo for example). As for the child analogy, it's a bit difficult to use in this situation: your child wouldn't post his artwork on Neowin in a graphic designers subforum, that's the point.

The new one you've done is a lot better, I mean a LOT better. A lot people put lens flares in for the sake of it, but in your design it actually works. Added to which the logo is a lot better.

That doesn't make a single ounce of difference, would you tell your child not to enter his/her work into an art competition because you yourself find it awful? No. He posted it on here, in hope of some constructive critisism. Not to be put down as if he shouldn't even try.

Everyone starts somewhere, and to block this person from wanting to pursue further in learning, is just bullying.

[Pox]

[h4x0r], he asked for feedback, we're giving him feedback. sure, a lot of people have been posting :x eww but most have them have pointed out problems as well.

How do you know though? He could have spent a long time working at it. If it's one of the first things he's done I'm sure he did. And regardless of how much time he spent, you can still find a nicer way to criticize and give thoughtful suggestions that actually contribute to the thread. Not you in particular, I'm just saying in general, it's better to encourage someone to improve than to put them down.
