Post by: kasperl on March 02, 2003, 01:23:36 pm: don't want to be nitpicking, but:
1) the toth, (or whatever vasudan craft it is) is a bit shiny, a little plastic like
2) the text isn't easy to read, and it looks wierd divided like this.
3) again the logo, but i'll shut up on this, i read the other thread......

but overal, it looks good

Post by: Tiara on March 02, 2003, 01:24:28 pm: The font is Freespace font and I like it so MEH! ;)

Hmm.. perhaps you are right about the Toth... I'll wait for some more opinions before I change it though.

Post by: kasperl on March 02, 2003, 01:25:55 pm: it's not the font, it's the color. there's to much black in it, IMHO. perhaps you can make it in one of the colors form the logo?

1). Meh, you are the second to complain... I'll change it...
2). I can read it just fine. In the lvlshot its a bit hard to read. Be sure to look at it full size. And its supposed NOT to be particularly monotone.
3). MEH! ;)

:wtf:

Either your monitor needs some readjustments or you need glasses... I can see it quite clearly. Green is the best color for GTVA IMO...

Don't forget to look at it full size

Post by: Warlock on March 02, 2003, 04:08:11 pm: Honestly it looks like the glow effect on the font went a bit off.

But hey, as long as you're happy with it that's what matters

Post by: pyro-manic on March 03, 2003, 06:13:18 am: Good idea!

Comments:
1)ships look too shiny - they need to be dirtier.
2)make the writing bigger, and not quite so dark.
3)put some dust clouds or something in the BG - very subtle, not a great big galaxy or anything, just a faint nebula type thingy.

Like it, though.:) :yes:

Post by: Tiara on March 03, 2003, 06:53:27 am: Nah, I'm leaving this one... Working on another one already... Now actually taking my time for it. Not 10 minutes like with this one :p

Post by: aldo_14 on March 03, 2003, 09:33:33 am: Y'know, the Toth is actually textured to look shiny - the edges of the brown plates have higlighted edges.

Post by: Tiara on March 03, 2003, 10:20:49 am: Ok, made the text a tad bit lighter. You should be able to read it easily now.

Post by: Galemp on March 03, 2003, 11:31:31 am: For goodness sake, it's spelled Thoth. How long have you guys been playing Freespace?

And Tiara... could you please put that on some sort of gentle background, so it's not all plain black. A light starfield, or perhaps a faded dark texture or nebula.

Post by: Hippo on March 03, 2003, 06:29:22 pm: thats 3 people out of 11 that spelled the Thoth right...

I'm only wondering why you chose those ships. They're hardly the most elegant, and none of them were a joint project between the two races. By showing the two seperate ships, made by different races, you are showing seperation between them, with the only link being a logo.

Two races, 2 ships, 1 alliance.

They differ, but yet they work together.
