WIP at the moment, still not sure how much i like it though. It is seriously missing... something and i cannot place my finger on it.

I'm going for an "old" looking logo, not something that looks like it was created recently. If only i could email it to myself 10 years ago, that  guy would know exactly what to do ;)

The 1990s had more garish colors for everything. Look at The Fresh Prince logo for an example.

another go, added some noise to the background so it wasn't so flat, and adjusted some of the drops shadows and stroke lines.
getting there...

Reminds me of Texaco Gas.

Both versions look terrific!

There's a little bump on the upper side of the bottom right bone peice. Nothing huge but if you're TA skull gets selected that might be a tiny detail to clean up :D

Other than that though, I really like the coloring, and I think I almost prefer the circle, although it's not quite the original. I think a modernized version of the original is required considering we modernized the graphical aspect of the game. But all in all, I love the logo! haha  ;D

Pyrozen i like your 2nd one best. It could be put in the bottom corner of the title screen and not look out of place. Maybe improve on that one. Remove the clipping etc

i also like pyro's second one. the first is a bit to cleanly done. the second looks like it could possibly be on fabric of some kind. i like the background used in the last one the most but not how its round. and should the flag be a bit more rectangle since flags generally are rectangles (just a thought)

In my opinion, the flag logo does not look very good.

It reminds me of those japanese cartoons of the 80s with caricatural drawing style. To give an idea of what I mean, check this model of the flag in Yatterman here under.



I'd rather have a more elegant, sleek design but I guess you have already chosen a base to work from.

The reason there's a basic logo, is because the flag is the original Avalanche logo in the game. So it is just another way TA wants to show that they stick to the original  :D

Personally I like pyrozen's last one best, it could easily go anywhere, since it isn't restricted to going where there is a square edge. Also love that you have the 'T' in the centre of the 'A', excellent idea.

I think I might do one of these with that pink graffiti you see on the wall in Wall Market; although I'd spell AVALANCHE properly :)

I don't mind if someone wants to beat me to it, either :)

EDIT:
Something like this, only better; I don't have any good graffiti fonts.



EDIT2:
should the flag be a bit more rectangle since flags generally are rectangles (just a thought)

Like this, but better, since I'm no good at this stuff I'm just throwing up ideas and hoping people improve :p

<imaged removed due to embarrassment :p>
You can see where the terrible editing is here lol, I've just coloured over the edges where I didn't want that grainy effect(for a bit of texture on the flag).

Well if it's to be a flag how bout modelling it after a traditional pirate jolly Roger flag?  Only in the sense that the skull should be centered rather than stretched and it should be white on black rather than white on red.

here's another one with some of the suggestions SL noted. Not really sure how much more i can do with this particular design, so if this one doesn't work out then im gonna go in a completely different direction.

Looks good pyrozen, can you maybe take that image and make it more like the other one without the square background. Would look better in the corner of the title screen I think.

the combined errors of five attempts finally yield a winning combination! let me know if you want the original PNG file, photobucket compressed the image above.

*edit* reupped another version, i forgot to center the skull in the original.

I have no idea why I'm still uploading, since everyone knows pyrozen's are way better :p

But still, I have this sick obsession where I like to be rejected ;^)

Another lame flag attempt:


As you can probably tell I'm terrible at shading :)

i actually think it looks pretty cool! Id up the contrast on the flag to get closer to a blood red color, but overall i like it.

I went to the trouble of creating small avatars for any TA members who wish to use them. They aren't the prettiest, but i seriously suck and making images below 100x100 AND less than 10kb.




just right-click and steal the link info and place it into your profile. Though if too many people use them they will have to be moved to a server instead of photobucket

As in anyone not a main part of the team? Graphic designers and such?

Also, pyrozen, not sure if you noticed but your top right bone has the shadow over-hanging the edge of the frame, just saying :).
