Mailman 0 Posted April 28, 2011 Yeah that looks good. just need to do something so that it is unique. maybe a background insignia. maybe a object that reflects xG. Try playing around with it. Try putting the G on the bottom right. Positioning it differently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edison 0 Posted April 28, 2011 Omg edison!!! You can use gradients on a gradient background!! That's gradient-tacular!!!!!!!! Actually, if you want to get technical.... *Takes an Ace Ventura breath*... First I took a background and filled it in with grey, then I took a text off www.dafont.com (Which you should figure out how to do because your text is horrid), after that I added a pen tool to the text to give it the shine effect, then I added a 3 pixel stroke to the text as well as a drop shadow and gradient overlay. *Takes another breath* Then! I went back to my background, added a static overlay, motion-blurred it to give it the brushed metal effect, then added lighting effects to the background to give it the darkness around the edges. As I said before, Get pooped on. I'm sick of kids saying they do graphic design and don't know squat about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was jsut contributing and you say "get pooped on" and mock his quality of work. SMOOTH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Never 0 Posted April 28, 2011 Hmm true. I liked the reaction though... I give Edison credit for that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theHobo 0 Posted April 28, 2011 Even though my first draft of a design, that I was willing to just contribute for no reason except feeling like doing something good, was pretty crappy, I definitely didn't deserve to be mocked like that. And I definitely never said "HEY GAIZ PUT DIS ON DA FRONT PAGE AND MAKE IT THE LOGO OMG LOLZ!!!!!". It was just a contribution, as a way to say thanks for adding me to the clan. A lot less trolling will go a long ways... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Never 0 Posted April 28, 2011 First of all, chillax. Second of all, I think you're on the right track. I was thinking of a logo with bullet holes in it, and there were shadow effects coming through the holes and blood effects etc. Sadly, this probably won't happen, but yeah. Yours was a good idea, but you didn't have the correct resources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theHobo 0 Posted April 28, 2011 I'm going to completely ignore the first sentence, and say thank you to the second! lol. I was thinking bullet holes, too, I just literally whipped up the first one in like 5 minutes. I'm gonna re-submit another one here shortly lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edison 0 Posted April 29, 2011 Sorry I took your comment as sarcasm and an insult, but also you really shouldn't rag on someones design when yours looks like complete dogshit. I also got mad because kids that say they can do graphic design then that poses a threat against us graphic designers that do it for a living and actually know what we're doing. If you want constructive criticism, use a bullet hole brush next time. I appoligize for being a douche but you came at me bro. And insulting me by telling me I have no life and I live in my parents basement is getting you nowhere because everyone knows my gf, she's in the clan. And I'm a male model and I probably make more money in 2 hours then you do in 2 months. GG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theHobo 0 Posted April 29, 2011 Yes that first design was a complete pile of dogshit, but then again, I did literally spend not even 5 minutes on it lol! I do apologize though Edison. I also appreciate constructive criticism, and I should have done the bullet brush in the first place instead of the HURR DURR I CAN DRAW SHAPEZ IN THINGZ!! haha xD With the second draft, I changed the font to SF Transrobotic which I thought looked really good. I have no idea what that original font was, but it definitely was really bland lol. ---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ---------- Update with bulletholes and some blood.

theHobo 0 Posted April 29, 2011 Seriously, I quit lol. I use Inkscape and GIMP, but mostly Inkscape because I like it better when dealing with just text and objects. I am too poor to afford Photoshop unfortunately :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
