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.
-
too off center, but its sweet
-
:yes: I like it :yes:
-
maybe we should make a contest and post in the art forum
-
i don't think inqui would mind, but he has the final say
-
that's why I'm gona let him do it :)
-
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?
-
This is too much fun to resist; I'm going to go away and have a tinker. :D
-
*Waits in anticipation*
well for now I think I like Bob's :nod:
-
: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.
-

:wtf: Someone has turned the Sathanas into a font now, have they?
-
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
-
My offering:
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/scroll/misc/scplogo.gif)
Simple, but hey, simple is good.
-
New improved version:

-
Advertising your shields-off sexp? ;) :lol:
Very good, though. I like. :yes:
-
that seems a bit complex,
I can't see it as a little logo or icon
-
Looks banner-ish to me.
-
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:

Banner (rushed):

Anyway, I finished those thinking that I could do better, :no: but I thought I wouldn't hurt anyone by posting these anyway. ;)
-
w00t! first time I'll say I don't like it, Steak ( sorry :p ). Dunno, looks way too cheasy to me. Please don't hurt me :D.
-
I agree with venom. They're not your best work.
-
the big logo looks cheesy, but the background in the banner is sweet. add some curves
-
I hate to have to dislike Steak's work, but it's lousy. :no::doubt:
Sesq's style I like much better.
-
Agreed. :nervous:
-
Lol, maybe it has hurt some people. :ick
-
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
:)

Could someone post the fs2 texture file of the capella sun being blocked by little sathanas, i don't have FS2 installed or my cd's handy, thanks.

How's this? :D

I like the techniques used however...looks really good. Got any tutorials on what you did? (subtle texture shadng, looks like some windblasting or something)
-
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
-
Thanks GalacticEmperor for the pic
I tried to realize my vision,

But I just don't have the photoshop skills to make it look professional, i hope someone else takes a crack at it.
-
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.

Icon/avatar to go with my theme:

I vote for Sesq's. :nod: :yes:
BTW Sesq, we're chatting right now. Check the thread in the main HL forum for link and agenda. :)
-

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. :(
-
Nice! :D :yes:
-
Possible banner to go with my theme:

A bit different. :p
Gonna have to fix0r a [proper] banner, tho.
-
wow
you even used opengl code
edit: it is kinda old, but it'll do
-
I just copied some code from Bob's glow map thread. :D
-
Moved to the art forum where it belongs :)
-
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 kinda like the simple green SCP thing Sesqui has going on...

Blatently stole Artimus' render and modified it, this is what i was thinking of.

Not enough Sathanas
-
What does Sathanas have to do with SCP? :wtf:
-
ahh just gave it a noobish shot ;)
(http://www.hot.ee/ashrak/banner.jpg)
-
what about something like this? its an evolution of bob's logo for fs3:
(http://space.virgilio.it/svfferra/fscp.jpg)
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
-
I don't like the style, but nice work nonetheless.

who cares? :)

Yeah. We could use this thread for some usefull spamming. ;7

For finalists, I would go with a choice between Ryx and Sesqui's.

Shall we set up a poll in the SCP forum?

Why not. Head doesn't hurt from more. ;7

Okay, so I'm sitting here trying to figure out a way to pleasingly combine "SCP" and the GTVA logo, when I realize... THEY ALREADY ARE.

Woah. :nervous:

Brilliant! Though you should make the line joining the ) to the | a bit thicker, have it more P-like.
-
(http://w1.520.telia.com/~u52019066/FSSCP-banner.jpg)
Had to rework the image for the banner. Hope that's ok.
The text needs tweaking, tho. :o
I'll fix (I hope) that tomorrow.
-
We should save all the good banners though, rotate em in the launch screen :)
Yeah, if you haven't already posted a poll, I was gonna grab the images later and do it...

I yield further development of this idea to anyone with actual artistic talent.

that would be cool...random banner each time you click the SCP link...

Woah. :nervous:
eh i had same prob, but haven't seen your solution, nice idea:)
only prob is that the "c" and the "p" can hardly be seen, try to enhance them a little
-
OK, the text should be cleaner now.
Pick the best one. :nod: (of mine, I mean)

i like Ryx's better than anyone elses!
Bobbau: your first logo you posted (first post of the thread) would be good, if you turned it to the side, so the two "points" are pointing down :)
-
wooahhh, Sesquidpelian, i LOVE yours!!!
-
I think the visual style of Ryx's are completely removed from Freespace.

that's very true, but it's still very very cool.
it's between Ses's, Ashrak, or Ryx
-
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. :)

Ashraks sucks ;) if anyone wants to update or change it be my guest ;)
-
Ses's is the best, but with a little work, Ashrak and Ryx's could easily be better
-
Sesq, there's no such product as "Source Code Project". So how can it have a launcher?
-
he means the .exe...
the one with "update" "run fs2" "exit" and all of the other buttons...
-
That's Freespace Open.
SCP is the project, FSO is the product.
-
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" ;)
