Re: Gift for hard-working (and going solo)

Ah, now you get it.  :yes:  What does Swantz think?  EDIT: well, with a "2" in there, you'd get it XD

EDIT2: The other option would be to have "FreeSpace" on top of the red FS symbol, and "Halo" below it, so that the red FS symbol forms the "2"...

Ok, why not? Gonna try it now...

EDIT: Here you go

I still like the logo it post 10 on this page http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,47158.0.html.  However mybe you could combine the ideas with the fonts from that pic and the idea of the symbols overlapping from this pic.

Actualy I did try it before. (Nice job on that logo btw) However, it doesn't really match the backrground then. I'll make an example.

Re: Gift for hard-working (and going solo)
The merged logo is a really excellent idea, but the background is just a little overwhelming.

Case in point: In both Halo and Freespace 2, the logos you've used have almost exclusively been used on relatively bland or otherwise subdued backgrounds, drawing the focus of the view immediately to the logo itself rather than a flashy background. Perhaps you could try giving this a go? The merged logo - perhaps merely a silhouette to reduce the pixellation - upon a far, far more subtle background akin to the splashscreens in Halo and its sequel.

I definately agree with that.  Another thing I didn't understand.  Why is the logo red?  It should be more of a silver/blue combo to go with the color schemes in the games.  Also, I don't like the font.  It doesn't fit with either game.

Hmm, nubbles, can you make one with the FS logo highlighted in bluish silver?  I've been curious about how that would look myself.  (Pretty please?  :) )

Okay, but use something that is futuristic and clean, not bluegreen and jagged.

futuristic and clean looks boring

Re: Gift for hard-working (and going solo)
Sorry for being gone for a long time, family emergency. But everything is fine now :)

Personally the inverted one does look pretty awesome, but you can't really se the background now.

I'm gonna try to do what you guys ask for, but heck, school does come in first :hopping:

Re: Gift for hard-working (and going solo)
Mr. jr2, here is your order.



Removed the textures (kinda) And somehow I couldn't make a more silverish color. I'm still working on it, so improvements are on the way, so this is v.0.01 i suppose.



EDIT: Another one, but still not that good. Keep trying...
