Artist Wanted for PBW Logo

[LazarusLong42]

Hey all,

I'm looking into a minor redesign of the PBW site, which will include adding a logo. However, though I may be all right at graphic design, I pretty much can't do art. So, I'd like to throw this one out to the PBW fans.

Contest: Design a logo for PBW

Prize: My eternal gratitude, display of your entry on the PBW site, and credit on PBW. I know... it's not much, but hopefully a few of y'all will be willing to compete for the love http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Requirements: The logo must incorporate the letters "PBW"; must incorporate the color scheme of PBW and SE4 (black/white/light blue/dark blue); and must be no larger than 200px wide by 72 px high.

If you want, you can post your entries to this thread, or, if you do not wish them to be public, you may send them to me, the PBW UI Guy, at <es2@invirtuo.cc>

Thanks for your interest!

Eric/LL

Here's my (first, at least!) entry - a little something I cooked up in MSPaint http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif :

Edit: Somebody sticky this thread!

Both done in Photoshop 5
Number one doesn't quite meet the parameters but it's more fancy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Number Two IMHO meets the parameters too much, but it's spartan and not much.

Number one takes some images out of the imagemod.

And uh... instead of giving credit, how about you enter my name in the win free stuff contest? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Urendi, just a request. Don't read too much into it cause I don't make the final decision or anything. But could you show us a Version of that second one with a couple minor changes? Could you make the circle behind the PBW a warp point. You should be able to borrow an image form the game for that. Make it the same size as the circle you have there, run it off the edges a bit. And take the "it" out of "Play it by Web".

Yours gave me a mental image and I'd like to see what it looks like on the screen.

How is this?

Another suggestion: IMO, the warp point Version would look better without the white circle around it.

[Wardad]

I like the first one. The warp point is to dark.

Hehehe. I just got this mental image of a bunch of guys standing around da Vinci, "Yeah, but shouldn't you make her smile a little bigger?" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Hope you don't mind the suggestions Urendi.

Are there further entries? If I don't see anything new in the next couple days, I'm going to go ahead and close the entry period http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

(Or if you tell me you're working on a submission, I'll wait for that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

i like UM's final submission, and ZB's second with the SE4 title. of course, my opininon does not really mater, since im not creating any of the art, and im not in charge of the PBW-UI.

[ZeroAdunn]

I have to vote for Zen, i just saw that and said "holy crap"

[TerranC]

Hey, ZB, why don't you put in a warp point into the radiant circle like everybody else did?

[Andrés]

Here's something I made wiithout cheching this thread, and that does not fit the 200x72 proportions suggested without being too streched. If you're interested I may render a similar one that fits better.

I had some ideas and time, so I made three more.

I was just goofing around. It might be better if the SE:IV part was a tad more readible.

I think it kind of matches well with the current PBW graphic setup.

Number 4 by Zen is the best so far. It'll be hard to top that.
