logo idea by comradekingu is logo idea

[comradekingu]

FZERO, what has been seen cannot be unseen. And with the added simplicity, it couldnt be tricolor, so i went to this

 





 

Edit: Inspired by the logos over at binkys thread




I think that illustrates why i dont like the shape, alone or as a bigger picture.


 

And it loses out completely on what this is the essence of ( i like this one)

But what if ?

Hmm, with the red and the yellow against the black it looks a bit too contrasty to me. Have you tried it out other colour backgrounds, perhaps mid grey to start?

 

[Fzero]

Think the last one, without the red section, so is just a dpad looking pattern

 

[pengo]

The d-pad pattern, while a good suggestion, will strip away almost completely the structure of theoriginal design and leave little to be viewed. The edit of the third logo here incorporating # from binky, is another good possible version.

 

[Fzero]

Yeah I guess does lose that original look and feel of it...

I agree with Levi though about the colour choice, I prefer something toned down a little, like this;

With some effect for a non-embossed use

 

[sebt3]

Yeah, that's getting closer to a good logo with kingdu idea i think

But this is a real nogo for me

 

[comradekingu]

It looks tolerable with those colours, but it needs to lose the mesh on the outer sections.

Could be the same colourscheme, but along the lines of



 

It fades out in the same way, dont know if that was an intentional effect, but i built on that.

With the separate ball in the middle i thought of it as a joystick, but d-pad works, and its more in line with what its about.

Spoiler

The buttons were aligned that way back in the day too.

I dont really like that, as its too easy to connotate to something else, and its a bit cheezy if it doesnt connect with the logo as a whole.

Made this too

 

[comradekingu]

Drawing attention to the centre, and also adding another level of 3d depth for only the cost of having 3 elements total.

 

[Fzero]

Took out the outside square shape.

Moved the inner dpad/cross inward a little so just little gap there.

Then done a more squared shape based off those dpad shapes

 

[bzar]

Someone will say it about the first ones, but I won't

 

[Fzero]

ha! I did actually ask a mate at work here if he thought it looked a bit ... wrong.

I think you must be right. Scrap that idea then.

Perhaps the octagonal one ... or is it a bit too Robocop OCP?

 

[laserbeams]

Every outer corner of the folded ribbon logos looks like the logo for Chase Bank. Especially when in blue, or embossed.

 

[Fzero]

Yeah called that one already a couple page back

So long as not on its own, I think could get away with it, as it does just look like folds too

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

Heh, Chase would love to have sub-division contains geeks making open devices like us

 

[comradekingu]

Hhaha, i thought you were sabotaging my thread.

Edit: ok, lets work with what we got

 

[Fzero]

Personally, I like that.

Just that much more simpler than the original.

The original has just struck me as looking a bit portcullis like too, like on our one pence coins.

Spoiler

I like this latest one just there though a lot, simple, works well as a small image, works well in single colour ... could be done in multicolour too for more elaborate usage.

In the words of Borat, "Is niiice"

 

[FaeMinx]

Hhaha, i thought you were sabotaging my thread.


Edit: ok, lets work with what we got

Much much better.

 

[Binky]

Much much better.

Yep!

 

[Fzero]

some tweaks

...though perhaps would be better to keep the simplicity factor it has already

 

[Neelix]

That's starting to look a lot more like a logo now.    

That said,  I have to say it's still far to abstract for my taste...  It looks good,  but I don't see any relevance to either DragonBox or to Pyra.
