Logos?

I'll get onto upsizing the logo later tonight, or tomorrow.
I've been busy redesigning my website, and I'm rather burnt out from photoshop afterwards. But yeah.

I also have ABC #14 from SRK to think about... hmm. Busy busy.

Yeah, I know how that goes... PS burnout. I used to spend quite a bit of time doing various web site designs... don't have time for that kind of thing anymore (as evidenced by this site's lack of style!). There's no hurry for the logo stuff at all... as I say, I probably won't have time to do anything with it for a while anyway, to tell the truth.

Cheers,

The new one is defnitely looking good.
<Smoof>
He's the hero NZism deserves.
But not the one it needs right now.
So we'll hunt him.
Because he can take it.
Because he's not our Hero.
He's a Niuean Guardian.
A watchful poster.

Also, I hope you didn't feel obliged to use it.

I was surprised when you first started these forums flux and you said you weren't very good at design, because I really like the current logo, actually. The main reason I started doing these is because I was quite bored, and I have never really dabbled into logo design; I wanted to branch out a bit and try something new.

So yeah. Don't think I did these because I feel that the current one isn't good enough ;)

Hahah, yeah there IS actually a site attached to this forum... http://nzism.alphaism.com
Whether you deem the title image to be a logo or not is another matter...

I also have a little mascot ninja dude that you can see on the tekken5 dr post tourney bracket image... he hasn't been widely spread though :D

Very nice, apprentice. =)
.. I can dream.

That third one is looking really nice, while it is probably not my favourite combination of colours, it does look rather professional. However you can't rush perfection. And adjusting here and there will be bring the best product in the end. Nice work.

I'll also link you to the fonts I used, so if you need to you can replicate it.

http://www.dafont.com/space-age.font (used with 80% width, 100% height)
http://www.dafont.com/blue-highway.font (normal Blue Highway, not condensed/bold/whatever others there are)

For the main NZism text, its all capitals, with the "ism" a smaller size, and raised above the line. Rasterized the type, and stretched out the bottom of the Z by cutting off the end and dragging it to the side, then selecting a portion of the leftover and transforming it.

Gradient and Stroke on the large text, colors can be taken with the eyedropper. Just a gradient on the small text inside the Z.
