logo redesign

[nayades]

you've got a start point there. why don't you try placing them differently? or maybe basing yourself on a font you have?

to make it modifiable select the text and press ctrl+b . that will separate it into independent characters.
if you want to convert them to shapes click ctrl+b again.

well, i actually did that. flash isnt really much of a problem. it's the creativity bit.
i thought i was going to get tonnes of modifications 'n suggestions 'n crtisims 'n stuff.... all i'm gettin is these "viewers"

[tayjax]

hmm i'm trying to help

what i meant is that the fonts look pretty different from each other. looked to me like you had drawn them

also i suggested you could try different positions. horizontal logos are nice, but maybe placing the csu letters vetically, or scaling them until they make a box shape could be nice.

sorry to say, but that's not only crap. its pretty cheeky to get payed for doing that

[tinonetic]

yeah,i know ur helpin nayades. i meant the other chaps and lasses
who've been "viewing" the thread.
As for rippin' logos......I subscribe to ethical practices and respect of intellectual property.

[tayjax]

ok calm down
i thought i was just throwing out a fast idea of how you could portray your logo - didnt intend to spend to long on it so just did a quick rip of the first logo i found on that site

thought it might get the old cogs turning
didnt realise it would offend so many sensabilities



just noticed its a semi close rip of another logo shown on a thread on this board - small world !

Draw! I'm not kidding. Use paper and draw and write and design until you throw your sketch book accross the room. I honestly believe its the only way to create a successful design.

[tayjax]

and its also quite a cool way to say the amount of crap that gets stored up in your mind from all the stuff you see around you

[tinonetic]

thanks for the help,those who helped

If you are only going to be bitter about people's opinions, I suggest you don't ask for them.

I take it you are still working on it?

[nayades]

yeah tino. you should have posted more work. have a look at tracy's. she's (i guess tracy is for a she, but i'm not sure :S) posted around 40 logo variations.

all i am going to say about logos ( im a bit tipsy now) is the order of cognition.
1.shape
2.color
3.content

thats all you need to know. apply that and you should be fine.

i'm not being bitter. perhaps i gave the wrong impression.
i'm greatful actually.

I came up with two other variations.
how do I make the pics show as a rendered image instead of an attachment?
