ultrahub Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 A few quick questions: Is there a deadline for this contest? What is the maximum number of submissions per person? Is there any sort of style that would be more favorable than others? (color scheme, font, etc.) Do the admins have a particular direction/theme in mind outside of a general gaming theme? I just want to narrow things down a bit, makes working on this stuff easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyr0mrcow Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Not sure what we're going for, so I made it simple and tried to keep the style/proportions similar to the current logo. Head: A more 'quirky' version: Server quad: NU: Slanted: Blocky (with forum backdrop version for visibility): Here's the PSD: [Mega] Also, transparency. I'm hoping that whichever of our logos wins will be able to be used across the multitude of network sites. Remember to make it transparant. Good luck to everyone who makes a submission! (Because this actually came up in discussion: feel free to reuse the text if you just want to make a logo. It took almost no effort to format that.)

Deaygo Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 One request for you Pyr0, perhaps make the border on the "Gaming Community" a little more there. It is a little hard to read, if the border was a little more like the Nerd.nu part, that would be awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyr0mrcow Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hm, yea, I think it looks better that way.Submission images replaced, PSD reuploaded with alterations, text shadows should also move in unison if changed now. Forgot to set that back the first time.Thanks for the suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marting11 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Quick rework of what I had suggested this summer (https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/2207-redesigning-the-mcpublic-twitter-account/?p=16233), which was to use the black and white pixel font AnSq_ had used to make the server icons.Here's what I had proposed then :New version :- The "nerd.nu" is now basically the same thing as in the server icons but scaled up and with a minor tweak to the "d".- Legibility is improved on a dark background.- Picked a better font for the subtitle.If you want to play around with that, here's the file :(Illustrator CS6) https://www.dropbox.com/s/caqpupaaa9asd5e/nerd_nu.ai?dl=0 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultrahub Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Wasn't sure what direction to go, so here's a few ideas I was playing around with. The color scheme is just one I was toying with, I can change it if people want. I may submit more if my schedule allows for it.

Pyr0mrcow Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) So after some time of sitting back from it, I came up with an even more neutral logo based on the current(ish) quad of servers. I know we're planning expansion, but something like that still represents the origin, I think. Server quad: I also updated the PSD with an optional backdrop of the forum's logo bar for previewing convenience. This uses the same PSD as the previous submission. The new PSD and this submission will be added to my initial post in the 3rd slot of this topic momentarily.

I just want to narrow things down a bit, makes working on this stuff easier. Edited original post to include deadline (March 1) and max number of submissions (unlimited). No style/theme are specifically favored, although my personal tastes lean very heavily toward clean, minimalist design. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unce Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Youve got the Orangered and Periwinkle in ultrahub's, the antenna in Avada's, and snoo makes an appearance in marting's I like my antenna, it sorta shows where we started without directly associating us with reddit. I don't think avada submitted anything, that was a quote from my post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3north Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 What about something like this? IDK about the game icons, as games can come and go, and the whole "using copyrighted material in logos" argument is the reason this post exists 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
