My Logo Redesign Experiment

[kevmann16]

I love iFanboy and i like current design of the site but work was getting on my nerves since I couldn't get a piece of actionscript right, so I wanted a break and to do something I enjoy and since I love logo design but had no current clients in that line of work so I thought I'd have a go at a redesigning the logo.

I thought I'd posted it here see what you guys think, its sort of a updated version of the current I tried to stay close to the current logo.

Anyway here it is

smilie looks compressed
hard to find them in the right size
sorry

[labor_days]

I like how Kwok didn't bother to resize the work area in MSPaint. Classic.

[fred]

yes that is funny

I have expensive shit like Photoshop and I still manage to use the old lasso the head and paste it trick time and again

[labor_days]

My art can’t be constrained by boundaries.:cool:

(or b/c I don’t know how to crop it)

[kevmann16]

I know I was once again beaten by Kwok and this time Fred but here is my attempt.

I actual am pretty disappointed with this one I couldn't get "A" to look right I will try again but it started getting really frustrating.

Sorry I butchered your name.

http://www.takeone27.com/comicBookGirl.jpg

EDIT:

Hi again here is the logo with a A like it should be.

http://www.takeone27.com/comicBookGirl2.jpg

[fred]

My art can’t be constrained by boundaries.:cool:

(or b/c I don’t know how to crop it)

it's kind of ghetto that way

there is no resize per size

for cropping, you can do it in one of two ways
1. look for dots at edges in vertice points and drag them in
2. go into the Image menu and select Attributes and change the size of the canvas - shockingly it will crop it to that size rather than resizing

[kwok_talk]

Haha, thanks for the tips Fred. Thankfully, my art won’t cause me to quit my day job.

Kevin – Sorry I keep beating you to the punch. Just think of my art as really just lowering the bar to make your creations leap that much higher in quality. Not like you need any help. They’re great logos!

[fred]

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/fredhosley/paintsucks.jpg

Thanks Darr0n.

Also I am not being hard on myself I love doing this stuff. I do graphic design as a living, but if I could I would just logo design all the time its a real love of mine not sure why.

Kevmann, what flick?

[fred]

It must be generically un-generic

[kevmann16]

Kevmann, what flick?

Sadly Alpha Dog is the only new film out this week and we have seen everything else we wanted to so it looks that that.

[mister-s]

Snap. I'm totally waiting til that one shows on Netflix. Let me know how it is?

nevermind - came up with a new one

I love all of the pics.

It's funny that I completely associate that Hilton pic with Horatio now, so at first I was like "Why doesn't K-Dizzle like Horatio?"

[fred]

funny background on that avatar that you might not remember - I actually gave it to him

he gave me a scavenger hunt style list of photos of stuff to find and that was on the list - I believe it was called a screenshot from One Night In Paris without actual nudity

[k-dizzle]

Thank you Fred.
