Title: New Logo Ideas
Post by: Anthony on April 01, 2014, 12:10:39 PM
I was using Photoshop last night and I made a few different logos. I think they turned out pretty good, in my opinion. What do you guys think? I've attached by top 3, plus one with text.  :)

UPDATE: I removed the original logos and added the updated ones.

Alright. I took out the gradient and placed it on a black background and white background to show its visibility.

Cool. That blue is too bright, in my opinion. Make it darker and add some shadows just like in the logo at the top of the page

we don't want the same logo. if we did we wouldn't have to make a new one

"We’re open to something that’s just a re-imagining or something completely new"

Actually, it's acceptable if the logo doesn't look completely different.

US2 Logo 20 looks the best to me, but perhaps a darker blue and shaded rings with stars in the background.

Yes, the last one was the best. Gabriel said the 2 is very cliché, and he is right. It looks awful with a 2,IMO

Yes, I agree. But it was worth the consideration. I prefer it without the 2 as well.

I think a line through the rings would be good.

We could have a sun-like star with a mouse dragging a planet into orbit, yes? No...

Hmm, alright. I'll do a few different designs and see what happens.

How's this? I think it turned out great myself.

But it needs work. Maybe some shadow on the rings? And a Cassini division? And maybe not a star glow, just a four pointed sharp star, like thos lensflare kinds.

Like this?

There we go! But a possible improvement would be to make the division thinner and the stars smaller and more plentiful.
Title: Re: New Logo Ideas
Post by: Xriqxa on April 02, 2014, 02:11:26 PM
Or the rings thicker. Also the shadow shouldn't be gradient IMO

Which shadow? Rings or planet?

I think the text looks like the signs on those ugly little rinky-dink shops on the side of the road where I live. No offence intended whatsoever :) :) :) :) :)

Is this what you had in mind by 'plentiful'?

No, I meant like more stars. And the size needs to be a little smaller. Great work. What program are you using?

P.s. I am sorry if I am sounding bossy at the moment.

No no, it's fine. I like getting peoples opinions and creating what they envision. Also, I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Oh, cool. Never heard of it, though. I used Alien Sky to make my avatar. You can save it if you want. It has higher quality than I thought.

Sorry but these logos look to childish. As if US is a game for kids

Yes, slightly... For some reason it gives some sort of Toy Story vibe. What the heck!? I think it's the gradient of the planet.

Well technically, it's for everyone.

I guess so... What if I removed it?

That's a lot better ;)

kids these days are too obsessed with stuff like Call of Duty, Super Mario, etc. to know about this awesome gravity toy. I mean, look at it! It's not even released and it looks amazing!

This thread is dying... but I don't think this logo needs anymore work. Except removing the lensflare in the back.

Just in case... I made a Plan B.
I want to flip it, but I am using an iPad.

Very old thread, but just wanted everyone to know that it doesn't matter what US2 looks like on your desktop/dock, you can easily change it to whatever image you want.
