Seeing you don't really have like a picture which represents FS2H, I decided to make one for you. I have to say, it is pretty good to my eyes. I did this because firstly I really wish this would become a reality. I am mad for Halo. And second, seeing you are so hard-working, I decided to encourage you for this.
Keep it going!
EDIT: So here is the final (Yea!) jr2 and swantz also get credit for this picture! They are the one to suggest for improvements. So Big claps to them! :yes2: :) :yes:

Now you see the irony of the KFC.

yarrr, that picturey thing looks awesome. unless the mod has already got a loading screen for missions, i recon that should be used :O
-
Is that a planet in the background?
-
Feels cheesy, needs an logo/symbol. The background's fine though.
-
Is that a planet in the background?
Yep, and the screenshot is from in game as well (well, not the halo dude though)

Yes, I agree with you. That was just R1, not final. Logo is on it's way!
-
IDK about the texture effect... might be better to leave it alone, not sure.
-
Alright made a logo, looks pretty good to me. I then added some glow. But it is actualy the glow that's hard to chose. It's the glow I can't think of, what do you think?

(Red and Blue Glow)
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/2052/option2ee3.jpg (http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/2052/option2ee3.jpg)
(Yellow glow)
Then I put them on the background. I paste both the Red&Blue and Yellow glow for experiment. I personally preferred the Red Blue Glow.

http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/5371/option4rn9.jpg (http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/5371/option4rn9.jpg)
(And this one with the words Freespace Halo)
Personally, the yellow glow really didn't match the background, and the Red glow on the Freespace logo is too (Shiven-ish, or Carl-ish for some people)
-
http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/7938/option3ts6.jpg
Gotta say I like this one, the text just seems like clutter in the other.
-
i personally prefer the oe with the words on it
n yeah, Red and blue blow is much better than the yellow
-
http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/69/optioncx0.jpg for an icon.
http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/5371/option4rn9.jpg use just the words, not the silvery background art, and change the color of the words... not sure what color, though. Blue? Green?
-
not the silvery background art
So, you mean it is too bright? (Sorry, don't really get what silvery means to you)
-
Alright jr2, text is green, background is not to bright!
Hope this is what you mean,

-
Hmm, no, I meant use this, put the text over it, but don't have the text's background ~ (wavy) thing. If you don't understand, I can shot you. EDIT: I meant show. :lol:
EDIT2: In other words, don't have the second "FreeSpace Halo" behind it, forming a "2", just have "FreeSpace 2 Halo" straight across.

(http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/3510/option6wz5.jpg)
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"...
-

jr2, that looks nice. The original text just looked kinda cheap. Kinda like WordArt. :p

So, everyone likes this? (Nice work, nubbles! :D)

AND progress?! Hey, just because this isn't made for any of your profiles, doesn't mean there is not progress. Let's see how you do! (Oh! Dissed!)

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.
-
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 think this logo is cool.Keep getting better.

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.
-
if you have a freespace font, it doesent look right. same for a halo font. i think the current one is a nice :yes:

I love it!

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? :) )
-
Invert the colors in MSPaint. :p

-
hate to say it, but, i th ink i prefer the inverted one :S
-

Okay, but use something that is futuristic and clean, not bluegreen and jagged.
-
why? it would look kinda boring that way.
-
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:
-
Mr. jr2, here is your order.
(http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/4649/halofslogosilvershinetk6.jpg)
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...
(http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/8929/halofslogosilvershinecd3.jpg)
-
Hmm, thx. :)
But I meant, to have the red FS symbol outlined (outside) with bluish silver, IIRC... I had a nice mental image of what I thought might look good, I think that was it, but I can't picture it ATM (need sleep). XD
-
Odd, the author hasn't posted here yet.

Going solo on a mod is hard work. :nod:

Oh...Obviously I need to study my English better...!!!
Ok, I would try it when I get home. So silver brushed FS logo?
-
Wow! What can I say? This is great work, and to be honest, better than anything I came up with logo-wise.
(http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/69/optioncx0.jpg)
I must say that this hit it on the right note; Your first instinct was correct, methinks. I've always been a fan of the GTVA logo, and the style used for the Halo logo really gets the point across. To see them together? AWESOME!
I still like the words used in this one:
(http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/devrous_fs2h/fs2hbigedge.jpg)
If you could somehow mix them together perhaps, then that would be great! Even if not, I still enjoy all the work done so far to these logos! Thanks for your 'gifts,' and I'll have one of my own for you guys very soon...
:yes:
-
Me is back...
Sorry Dev, didn't read this part of the forum for a long time.
So this is just a picture with just the logo pasted on, without any affects.

Good work.

hmm... i think the texture is not a good one for this kinda image. might be a good idea to use more of a rust kinda texture. better still, lower the optancy of the rust texture, and add a gradient, starting from solid brown which fades to blue after about halfway down, then bevil and emboss with a slight smooth setting so it mirrors the text.

:yes:
i agree... if halo is written in freespace font it will look crap and same vice versa. i think we should merge these 2 images together. it will probably give the best result, unless someone else comes up with a better idea
-
is it alright if i have a crack at it?
-
Every bit helps, ;) and if it doesn't work then simply nobody will use it. :P
-
I hope that in regards to all this work, the project will continue to it's term.
-
cool, ill get to work on it right away...
and if u need help with this project then dont be afraid to ask. i may ba able to help with graphics... im good at textures...
-
Heres my first attempt. Havent put in a backround yet. want to get feedback though.
(http://imgcash4.imageshack.us/img511/4535/fshfo6.png)
let me know if i should change anything just to see how it looks.
-
The name "FreeSpace" seems badly placed...
-
how so... a bit to the left...
i did that cause of the spike on the right...
ill fix it up to see how it looks.
-
It's isn't regular...parallel...
-
turns out i fogot to save the pdf...
DAMIT...
I've only got half of it now...
ill get to work on it... but in the meantime... what do u think of it besides the "freespace" issue
-
done
(http://imgcash2.imageshack.us/img87/3331/fshreallignedct8.png)
It's isn't regular...parallel...
hmmm... i know what your saying...
i dont recon so... hang on... ill run a test
-
(http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/devrous_fs2h/fs2hbigedge.jpg)
IMO this one is still the best.
-
I agree. No offense but i like that one ^
-
Yes, quite nice!
-
none taken... but i still think we should work on the logo and not just the text. I might try an alternative method.
last night i actually came up with a really good idea. ill give it a shot but it will take a while.
anyways... i realligned the text... cause of the warping the stroke is now a bit messy, so ill fix it up at a later stage
(http://imgcash3.imageshack.us/img183/369/fshparrakg2.png)
-
hows this... very basic, but i recon its pritty cool
(http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/2294/fshcpsu1.png)
-
Check this one out!!! im proud of this one.
(http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/6756/fshwreckagejo1.png)
-
IMO too colorful, it looks cartoony.
-
(http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/devrous_fs2h/fs2hbigedge.jpg)
I agree with the others, this one is still the best. >_>
-

it looks the most clean/professional
-
In that pic "FreeSpace 2" should be slightly moved to the right part of the screen.
-
But you still have to admit it's the best posted so far.
-
As Jake said, it's "clean".
-
Yeah. Simple, but it's affective. I like it.
-

Hmmm... i might have something else...
but before that, what would you think if i made this one all blue? just so theres less colour.
-
that one is good, but it seems...lacking in something.
-

Text? i figured as much. but i found it kinda got in the way... did u want me to try simmilar to my first one but with the same textures as this one?
-
i dont like the textures. they are too vibrant, like the games are happy. In FS and Halo, humans are suffering defeat. Don't put a bright color in a game like thant. I like the one from above (see my last post) beacuse it is dark, but has a refined element. Its textures are higher detail and look like something from the actual game. Notice the shine on the text in Halo. if you used a similar texture on the halo logo, it would look more professional and would be subtle , but effective.
-
hmmm... anyways im busy for the next few days, so ill give it a shot next chance ive got.
-
in the meantime, heres the other idea i came up with...
(http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/949/fshholouu7.png)
no backround though... might put one in at a later stage
-
you try to hard to impress :P
really good effort though. But try to aim at simplicity
-
oooh, the last ones quite good. Maybe it could be used as a button for eaither the Tech Room, Options, Campaign or Continue
-
in the meantime, heres the other idea i came up with...
*snip*

That shade of blue just doesn't fit either game's atmosphere well at all.
-
that last one is quite close to the colour of Cortana
-
that last one is quite close to the colour of Cortana
No, Cortana's more purplish than that, and not so bright.
But I like the last one quite a lot. But that other one is still the best IMO (no offense).
-
Personally, i find when you compare the colour with the mian body of Cortana, it is pretty close...
http://images.wikia.com/halo/images/5/5b/Cortana_Halo_3.jpg
-
That doesn't look like Cortana in a lot of ways. Even the face looks different.
Unless that screenshot is from Halo 3. I never played that game yet.
-

Halo 1 Cortana looked stoopid IMO.

I agree. The Halo 2 version wasn't much different, though i liked that more.

Realized it was haloboy100... Then thought "hey I thought that guy was a Halo fan"
lol wut

The Halo 2 version had longer hair IIRC.

I AM a Halo fan. Thing is, I really don't think Halo 3 is going to be worth buying an Xbox 360 for. As much as I REALLY hate the Wii, i'd rather play games such as brawl or twilight princess.
Besides. Ever since the dreaded Halo 2 multiplayer, i think i might be permanently turned off Halo...

People in multiplayer are going to be assholes, don't get upset with the game as a whole because of some half-witted people. :P

Halo 2, aside from Freespace 2, was the only game i ever competed over multiplayer on.
What a huge difference in communities... :eek2:

Dont just get it for Halo 3 then. You could get it for Halo Wars and Halo Chronicles as well :P
any theres quite a few other decent titles out on the 360 as well :)

meh... lol
I like that idea about using the hologram as a graphic in the main menu or something. I was thinking, maybe i could take some screens of characters, extracting them and puting them in pcx format, then zip it in a vp, so you could use the characters such as cortana and serra-117 as your pilot, as well as have the fsh logo (ill make it darker as requested) as your squad logo.
Has anyone played halo3 live. its a lot better than halo2. theres a new feture called matchmaking, so you are put into a group (usually of the same rank as you) and play a game, then have the option to merge into 1 party and play a new map. well worth it.

Dude. Matchmaking was in Halo 2.

is it... i dont remember it... but eh... its been almost 3 years since i last played it.
so anyways... what you think about the pilots and squads package idea?
-
had a shot at the fsh logo trying to make it look like the halo text.
very rough. not bad though. still, unless i find the exact effects used on the halo text, it wont look good.
does anyone know who made it?
