yeah but does the s work

and the fucken cross

which i am not using because i am religious but rather because i am an EVIL HERETIC BASTARD

like i think there is a lot of empty space above the cross what should i do about that

WHAT SHOULD I DO

DOES ANYONE HERE HAVE ANY FUCKING ARTISTIC ABILITY

CAN **SOMEONE** PLEASE FUCKING TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG HERE

BECAUSE I KNOW FOR A FACT I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG I MEAN I ALREADY KNOW THE N'S LOOK LIKE SHIT

and the R is kinda gay, too

of course if all you do-good ART FAGS thinks it works then ok
Title: all my life
Post by: sQueef on August 24, 2008 12:21 PM
you could start studying graffiti techniques if you want to do better lettering designs

the R is gay

the S is gay for not being connected

but I really like the T

the only thing I see wrong with the N's is that the middle part that connects the two legs of a capital N is too fat and kind of throws the whole thing off balance

then you realize that it looks fine regardless of these minor details
Title: all my life
Post by: Sinitron on August 24, 2008 12:31 PM
okay becauseeee i have all the original linework so it's easy to edit

personally I like the S because it's NOT connected by a big fat block of shit like the N's

im consideringggg throwing in some soldered wire or something on both the S and the N's but that would make the entire thing appear less clean and neat

as for the R im not really sure what to make of it
obviously, one leg being thinner than the other detracts
but i have all this stuff carefully constructed up etc sooo if i move it all around a lot it'll look strange

i could put a simple dent in it but when i first did that it looked kinda bad imo!!

this is easy to remake and redo now that most of the linework is done the gradients etc are no big deal

Quote from: unconditionallyguarANTeedi think they should all be sloped at the same angle

all right so lets take a look at it, with and without slopes

only the bottom of the standard letters are sloped, to define the BOTTOM LINE
i didnt slope the T and the tip of the N because i didnt see a point to it since they were already longer than the rest
the T is supposed to stretch across all the other letters except for the S, hence the length; this is one thing that i am NOT changing

if you can come up with some more reasoning as to why i should change it, then sure, it only takes me a couple minutes to edit the base anyway

actually now that you mention it that way, the differing slopes do seem justified

that second N seems kind of odd with the bottom point jutting out like that
the reasoning behind that?

Add the gloss to the blade of the sword as well and then smothen it up. It's really eadgy at some points, especially on the S which makes it look weird.
The perspective of the bottom of the sword doesn't make any sense either, it should be like this. (http://bay01.imagebay.com/_upload/img/54/thiss.png)

What I dont like is that only the bottom is sloped

When I look at underneath the cross shape on the t and other areas and see they arent sloped, it looks fuckin weird!

Also the cross on the t should be closer to the katana I think since all the letters are spaced closer together.

Im glad you took away the jagged little end on the end there cause that made it feel a little unbalanced which sucked cause the rest of it was balanced so well. So keep that off. I like the s and people can just cut that out when they say they dont.

...what gloss? the chrome gradient covering the top side of the letters?

Quote from: Oliver ReipschlägerIt's really eadgy at some points, especially on the S which makes it look weird.

what, do you mean that the angles are too sharp? thats pretty much the entire point

Quote from: Oliver ReipschlägerThe perspective of the bottom of the sword doesn't make any sense either, it should be like this. (http://bay01.imagebay.com/_upload/img/54/thiss.png)

If you compare it to the rest of the drawing, no. That makes even less sense. I agree that it doesn't look good right now, but that's not fucking important SINCE I'M NOT EVEN CLEANING IT UP AND PUTTING ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES YOU ASS FUCKCKCKCK IM LOOKING AT THE DESIGN

Like I said, it's meant to define the bottom line that the letters would NORMALLY rest on, nothing else. The T extends beyond this because I've always done it like that.

Quote from: CoolDrMoneyAlso the cross on the t should be closer to the katana I think since all the letters are spaced closer together.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you want less of a space between the protective... thingamajig on the sword and the actual line that tops off the rest of the letters. I was thinking about this too, but currently it is constructed in such a way that it "matches up" with the letters. I'll definitely look into it, though.

Quote from: CoolDrMoneyIm glad you took away the jagged little end on the end there cause that made it feel a little unbalanced which sucked cause the rest of it was balanced so well. So keep that off. I like the s and people can just cut that out when they say they dont.
The jagged end looked like shit once i added the sloped thing anyway, and the S was pretty much the base for the entire drawing. I really liked the lightning bolt S that I originally had, and I'm not a major fan of the current one, but it was a thing most people complained about.

Title: all my life
Post by: sQueef on August 25, 2008 02:20 PM
the complete 3d slope added onto the original, and in my opinion better, base design, gives a much more concrete feeling of being to it. The slopes on the bottom aren't just tacked on last second anymore and the N isn't a dagger. It has real 3d in it now and with some nice gradients to add some shine and depth, and overall color, it will look nice.

I think

this new one that you made going 5 steps backwards

I can see it as being an actually good logo for flash and whatever else you might need a logo for.
It looks like the Pink part can rise out of the bevel or such, so it should be good for use.


when even the base design looks this cool you can't fuck up basically.

if you're gonna have the S with corners so its more S-shaped, you should move the top half down a bit i think
so it looks like the top hook of the S is hugging the extended t

So far, Wally thinks the gradient should be blurred more, and the CC hates the fact that the gradient is wavy.

Personally, I think it makes it more dynamic. Thoughts? Also, colors;

Almost perfect but wps is right, the gradient should be a little more blurry. That would pretty much solve the pointy edges of the gloss as well.

the wavy gradient is great and needs to stay thats my thought and opinion.

fuck the cc the gradient stays as it is.

see how making the glow a little less noticeable at the top of the t looks. after that, compare your first drawing to your finished product.
