0 jackwanders Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 while artistic and flare are up to the eye of the beholder, it's dark, about 70px high, round, and on a black background :D three variations of color and text: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JoeC Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Dang, that's nice compared to mine heh. May as well post it anyway. I think I'll be trying some other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dpeters Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) I like the "T and the H" Jack31081, please work more on that idea. JoeC - I look forward to seeing more. Don't rush! The most appealing and meaning logo to us will be picked :) EDIT// Don't let the 70px height have you design a small logo. That size is only for on our header, we will want to use the logo on such products as T-Shirts. :-) As long as the logo can be scaled down perfectly to fit the header!

0 dpeters Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 I really like how EA place the logo into a circle with a really smart design. :woot: I don't want to copy EA at all! :no: but the idea is good :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 FunRoomSite Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I like your current one, but I think one of jack's is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jackwanders Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Here's one with a shinier gloss: Here's one in 3D, with a bit more of a metallic feel over plastic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JoeC Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Some slightly better looking ones than my last attempt (not hard =P). Try 2: Try 3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 dpeters Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Here you go; they have a transparent background...I just forgot to slap them on black before I compiled them together. :pinch: I like the 3rd one from the right :) But can you try and make the circle more 3d. Also notice on http://www.techaven.net the 5px bar between the logo bit and the navigation under looks robust. Try and have it so the "th" kinda is stuck in the circle in this way. hardcore! Here's one with a shinier gloss: Here's one in 3D, with a bit more of a metallic feel over plastic: Your 3D version at the bottom looks MUCH better, im just not sure on the face colours. Everyone is posting very good logo concepts that really appeal to me. Please keep working on them guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 dpeters Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 My quick submission -just saw this now! That does look very nice, but not for our site design. its too in your face, I hope you try some other concepts of it though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 dpeters Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 hmmmm - how can i do it then so it isn't in your face - let me think - any tips? The silver is too vibrant. The green looks nice. Just doesnt fit with our colours although it could be a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 van_wilder Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Or ... Something like that mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jackwanders Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Your 3D version at the bottom looks MUCH better, im just not sure on the face colours. Colors are easily changed. If there's a certain color you're looking for, just let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
