Logo ideas or do we make our own?
Title: Re: Tournament Logo
Post by: GreyTea on April 30, 2014, 03:43:03 am
Preferably Your own, but ideas are always good inspiration for others who want to make a logo, 

@B'elanna i can not wait to see it, if it was left to me we would have the words Hephaestus Challenge in 12 font on paint all white background and a stick man on a stick ship

                     / |

Open up to the talented community i have seen some excellent artwork, and the logos for previous tournaments have been awesome,

Just on the community events itself, i.e sky league announcment thread has the logo sunday rumble saturday box social, when you click on them to sign up you see the logos, and also the clan logos people have made are in the sign ups, but as of yet there is no easy way to locate all the logos for tournaments and clans,

Maybe will be helpful/inspiring for someone

feel free to correct this or use it for your own logo, I am not good in logo creations. This is just a suggestion

Post by: Tanya Phenole on May 04, 2014, 12:18:34 pm

Geo suggested making central emblem larger

A bit larger

A lot larger

Without background

Legend:

Mallet and spanner - main engineering tools.  Keep every ship alive. No crews without both ever noticed on current game balance. Also mallet is a reference to name of Hephaestus, greek gord of ironworks and crafting.

Lightning - reference to legend about Hephaestus, who made lightnings for Zeus in his workshop.

G / I - Guns of Icarus monogram.

Top hat - supporting speampunk atmosphere in laconic form.

Olive branch  is optional.

Post by: Dementio on May 05, 2014, 12:07:03 pm
I say 1.3 and 1.4 are the best out of Tanya's collection.
The G's and I's in these circle are just not enough to resemble "Guns of Icarus", however this is where 1.3 and 1.4 succeed. Your font, font alignment, image placement and color; it all reminds of the original "Guns of Icarus"-Logo and thus reminding everybody what this "Hepheastus Challenge"-thing is for and about.

The circle is certainly nice and is a nice idea, but what did you have in mind for that circle? To look pretty? It vaguely reminds me of this leaf crown that the old greeks used to have on their head, but that's it.

As nice as these look, Hepheastus also stands for fire, lava, some metal that is glowing hot in the process of being turned into something new. DrPanda has visualized this very nicely, but then again, that is a picture and not a logo...
What I want to suggest to you, Tanya, is: Bring that Fire into play for the logo. Even though the color is a nice choice, it lacks a second one. Currently it's a dull logo, missing that something extra to make it complete, that something extra to make it hot!

What a coincidence, I am Daniel too!

But really now, I actually like it. It gives of a certain feel, you know? More excitement! MORE EXCITEMENT

However, it appears less Guns of Icarus related. The colors are the same, but it looks more greek-like to me than GoIO-like.

I would take it...

(http://cs614616.vk.me/v614616963/d173/eytrHJuHKu0.jpg)

this is pretty good and usable.

maaaaaybe move the upper and lower lines closer to the middle
make the mallet and spanner smaller. just a bit. and move the wings closer.
make the G and the I melt with the wings.
make a circle or O around the spanner and mallet.
lose the lighting bolt and the top hat.

there i made a crappy paint version, could you try doing that with. you know..
your fancy stuff? :3
and obviously prettier ^^

I should have checked  "the Gallery", I noticed this thread only 3 days ago.

I wanted to express tangled mass interwoven because I thought it might be symbol of Hephaestus' complicated life
like the works by Giuseppe Arcimboldo (I want you to search his works for reference),
so I used an anvil as Hull, pliers as cat walk, hummer as main engine.
But i don't know why my work became too much simple one like company's logo or Japanese Kamon.

Maybe It is extract of my image.

That's only because I haven't posted a picture of my WordArt yet. Just you wait. The words "Hephaestus Challenge" in the most amazing set of gradients, textures, fonts, and shapes.

I guess today is the last day for submissions? We didn't specify a time, so if you have anything, now is the time to get it in. :D

As always Pechka this is a really nice peace. I remember learning about this artist in school. We all had to create a portrait using the style. I remember painting a fisherman using fish parts.
