Title: SCP logo
Post by: Bobboau on January 18, 2003, 05:54:35 pm
I think we should get a logo so we can have the little things by our names and the EXE's we make look diferent to the normal ones
I propose  this
(http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/blackwater/fs3.jpg)
the idea being fs 3 :)
any other ideas?
I'm sure someone can do better than that.

maybe we should make a contest and post in the art forum

Eh, I dunno.  Technically, we're not making "Freespace 3", because there is no official word on FS3.

Why not a logo with the letters SCP on it?

Maybe we could ask Setekh to try his hand at one for us. :)

Hehe, I don;t mind, I have the art skill of road kill.

Someone make a tasty logo or use Bobboau's, though, the HLP and VW versions have been decent, maybe something smaller of those?

:no:  Nix on the "3" logo. As has been said before often and loudly, "If it's not from V, it ain't FS3".

Make the logo a big star blowing up with FS2 spelled out in black Sathanas.

well mine was just to get the ball rolling, and my idea was just what I had for mine, you can have what ever you want for yours, but it should be fairly simple, have something to do with FS, the next incarnation of it, and\or codeing

Post by: Bobboau on January 19, 2003, 05:00:17 am
that seems a bit complex,
I can't see it as a little logo or icon

Looks banner-ish to me.
Title: SCP logo
Post by: phreak on January 20, 2003, 01:54:52 pm
we should let the people in the art forum know about this.

I think he meant it literarily

use the black sathanes, the so-called SUN with sathanes in it and use one black sathanes, and form letters that read out FS2.

And btw

Note that "S", "C", and "P" are all present in "FREESPACE". Might make for some fun harvesting from official V graphics.

The GTVA logo, but with a line of binary running down the middle, might look interesting.

That's not a bad idea. I personally was trying to do something with a starburst - with new universe/white hole/Capella significance - I was thinking either a realistic looking flare, or a figurative one... here's what I came up with quickly while the board was down.

Big:
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/staff/setekh/scp_big.jpg)

Banner (rushed):
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/staff/setekh/scp_bg.jpg)

Avatar:
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/staff/setekh/scp_av.jpg)

Anyway, I finished those thinking that I could do better, :no: but I thought I wouldn't hurt anyone by posting these anyway. ;)

the big logo looks cheesy, but the background in the banner is sweet.  add some curves

Yes, if we used that one then it would look like Israel had concurred the entire universe by 2265...
Which would explain the aparent lack of Arabs in the GTVA...

The Star of David, while having its aesthetic value, should probably be avoided much as any other major religious symbols

Title: SCP logo
Post by: kasperl on January 26, 2003, 12:00:16 pm
i actualy tried to make something, but it sucks tomuch to show it to you guys. anyway, my ideae is to make it look like a medal, with a ribon with the the following colors: a shade of red from the HLP logo, the bleu from VWBB, and some green color, something like the shade they always use for computers in movies. and if this looks bad, just make something like this, but seperate the colors with black.

just my ideae tough

But I just don't have the photoshop skills to make it look professional, i hope someone else takes a crack at it.
Title: SCP logo
Post by: Galemp on January 26, 2003, 12:35:52 pm
I was considering a combination of the VW, HLP, and FS2 logos myself. I threw this together as a rough sketch of what we might be able to do; but I lack the artistic skills and program know-how of other members, and I don't have the original VW logo.

But if someone can do a pro version of this, using transparency or layers or something, it would be cool to see.

What Freespace 2 looks like when it loads for me. :D

What the code is doing there is superimposing the logo on top of a screenshot I took. I had to convert it manually to an 8-bit (256 color) PCX, though...24-bit TGAs won't load. :(

a lot of these are pretty renders and all, but they are too complex for a logo, it should be something fairly simple with a few clearly defined colors

i tried to use the same style of the ingame logo, but i have to admit that result isn't so good:)
personally i don't like so much the "p" and there are also a lot of things that can be done better
if someone of you want to give it a try i can share the photoshop files

Post by: Sesquipedalian on January 29, 2003, 11:44:55 am
Just for clarity's sake, I designed my stuff primarily for the launcher and exe icon, rather than as forum graphics.

This was meant to be the background graphic for the launcher when it is made:
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/scroll/misc/scplogo2.gif)

And this was meant to be the exe's icon:
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/scroll/misc/scpicon.gif)

The use of the icon as an avatar and the possible banner were afterthoughts when people expressed enthusiasm for using my art for that purpose. :)

true... in that case that can be used for the website, forum graphics, or something else

or maybe you could add "presents:  THE FREESPACE OPEN" below "SOURCE CODE PROJECT" ;)
