Delto Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 So I need a new logo for my site, and I really can't think of anything to draw. By the way, I used to have a ton of posts here, but it looks like my account got deleted, unsure. www.entertainmentoracle.com The current logo, after the header loads is something I slapped together in 5 min photoshop, the overlapping circle thing above the Entertainment Oracle name. Basically, the boards are slow atm, so why not draw something, a character to represent my site. Looking for more of a "cute" looking character, try to keep the colours reasonable. Also the size, don't make it too huge, still has to fit in the header. Now the incentive, the person to make the best looking character, wins $60 USD, paypal only. If it's really good and original, i'll raise it to $80 USD. If you don't have Paypal, then we can work something out. Oh and you get to have it on the site that'll crush Newgrounds (One can dream), hahah.
Eenuh Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Any other specifics other than that is has to be cute? Cause I came up with a cute character for a site before, so I think I can do it again probably. =3
Delto Posted February 11, 2006 Author Posted February 11, 2006 Nope, nothing else really. Try to keep the colours vibrant, lustre orientated.
DiemetriX Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 great site. But shoulden't this thread be in the creative setion?
The3rdChildren Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 It probably should be, but it'd get more attention in here. One person to talk to would be CubeChris, who once showed me a forum full of people who offer money for logos and so forth. I'd post the URL, but I can't remember it.
DiemetriX Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 I like the orb thingy.. can't that be your logo? The one with 3orbs and a moon..
Charlie Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 It probably should be, but it'd get more attention in here. One person to talk to would be CubeChris, who once showed me a forum full of people who offer money for logos and so forth. I'd post the URL, but I can't remember it. http://www.sitepoint.com http://www.webhostingtalk.com (I hope you're not getting any ideas, Guy, if you think I'm going to pay you can think again!)
Delto Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 I'm making this an oppertunity for you guys to design a logo for an easy $80. Surprised nobody is interested.
Eenuh Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I am, but at the moment I don't have access to my own computer and Photoshop, so I can't really make anything. Also, I'm not really sure what exactly you're looking for; you keep calling it a logo but from your description it just sounds more like a mascot. And I just really doubt the "cute" thing I have in mind is really what you're looking for; cute just doesn't really seem to fit in with the rest of the design on your site I think(at least what I saw on the main page, the rest didn't really work).
Delto Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 Yeah more of a mascot. With the right colours, a cute thing can easily fit in with the rest of the site.
Pit-Jr Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 abra cadabra..... this was done with ms paint obviously so it clashes but you get the idea
Delto Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 Pit-Jr..not bad, but more cute themed. Also no objects, just the character. For instance, yes i'm posting a pokemon: A simple characted, with some depth. You have idea sort of...but yeah, I don't think paint colouring is the way to go.
Eenuh Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Yeah, let me give it a shot tonight when I have access to my computer again. =3
Haver Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I'm on this. I need to get some money together for my holiday. I'll get it to you ASAP.
Pit-Jr Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Drippy still wants a cameo on your site. How bout 'Drippy the Mailbag Demon'??
Eenuh Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Alright, I drew two characters; could try out more but this is it for now. Of course colors, size and even the pose can be changed. Just some ideas.
The3rdChildren Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Stiff competition here. It was rather late and I decided I'd have a crack at this. What I basically did was take your existing logo (I rather liked the idea of three balls) and tried to create some kind of bizarre little wormy creature from it. Lemme know what you think, and what would need to change in order to make it better if you're really interested - doubt you will be, I'm just killing time. This image shows the "character"s three main shapes being manipulated to form some kind of pose sheet. It's on a black background, because it shows off the nice highlighting better than a white one (background removable for transparency effects blah blah blah) Enjoy: You have to admit he's got personality. I can just see some kinda sphere-based bird swooping down and gobbling him up.
Pit-Jr Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 See how easily Drippy contributes to your site's inevitable Xmas update? Nice job Eenuh and T3C : peace:
DiemetriX Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Enuh and the3: those are amazing Drippy is also cool mabye I'll get him for my site
Pit-Jr Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Drippy makes a bad costume choice for Halloween
Twozzok Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Pit-Jr you should like make a story or something featuring Drippy.
Eenuh Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Hehehe, yeah, make a Drippy comic. The3rdChildren: that looks really nice. =3
