Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: DS on February 27, 2008, 12:56:14 am
Fellow GWers... I-I come with news... GW needs your help!

We have updated the blog layout and we will be doing our best to improve it from now on as well, and that brings me to the topic at hand.

Gaming World needs a new logo and since we admins are such incapable creatures, we'll have to depend on slave labo- I mean, we thought a cool little contest would be fun!

The logo will be used on this blog and possibly on GW's upcoming main site, and we might need it for other GW related pages and projects as well. The logo will be replacing the GWlog text but the logo should either say Gaming World or GW, whichever you prefer. Also notice that we can't promise that the logo will be used on anything else than the blog but if it's good and we think it can be used for other purposes as well, we definitely won't hesitate to use it!

Guidelines:
- It should say GW or Gaming World, not GamingW, not GWlog, not anything else. GW or Gaming World.
- Try to make it fitting for GW. Pay attention to the style and what colors you use. For example, you can use foget or legoman if you have a good idea how to implement them in your logo.
- There's no set size you have to use, the most importart thing is that you won't make it too small. Primarily, it's for this blog so keep that in mind.
- Plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
- You can submit as many logos as you want to.

Submit your logos before 6th March. You can post your logos in this article but if you don't want to post it publicly, you can also mail me ([email protected]) or send me a private message on the forums.

Hopefully you guys enjoy the changes and are willing to give a shot at making us a new logo! Winner gets a premium.

Post by: Bondo on February 27, 2008, 03:53:42 am
I'm all over this.

Here is a first draft.  I'll be adding more/adding detail to each of these, giving options.  I'm also saving the full resolution original PSD files of each one in case they can be used for anything else.

That's up to you, there are some certain characters that you can use (the legoman, the foget), but we won't force you to use anything. But do not use a random anime character because we obviously can't use that as a logo. Also since this is a contest for a logo primarily to be used in the blog, you should make the logo so that it isn't impossible to incorporate in the current site.

Post by: Sarevok on February 27, 2008, 02:58:52 pm
Uh... saying 'Gaming World' in it somewhere might be a good addition? I don't get the nintendo product placement either. It looks more like a signature than a logo.

edit: damn you rami, damn you

Post by: Kaworu on February 27, 2008, 03:38:37 pm
I think that it's cool for GW to have a logo, I have some rather expert graphics skills, and this is my suggestion for GW's logo. I hope you like it. I actually come up with this idea before Elighja, just I am slow at posting :( please don't assume I coppied his idea.

Even so, zachiroth's logo is pretty nice. I agree that it's unoriginal though, but remember, you can submit as many logos as you want to!

Also, a lot of cool logos so far.

Post by: reko on February 27, 2008, 07:52:35 pm
There's nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't fit the current blog site well. Also it'd be nice to get a logo for GW that we can use in future projects and whatsoever.

(talking about the one in current gw6 layout)

That's a nice idea zach...but it's far far too big and the font is a bit uh.. 'hideous' would be the best word. With a change of font, a little decrease in the size and the reflection gone it could be pretty damn good.
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: DS on February 27, 2008, 10:40:14 pm
I like it a lot, actually, including the font. The bottom version might be my favorite, and it's always possible to resize a larger version so that's not really a problem.
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: reko on February 27, 2008, 10:41:52 pm
When creating logos you should always create them big enough to consider their use in different situations. Vectors are obviously the optimal format for logos, but it in turn limits you certain ways.

PS. I really love your idea zach.

Post by: ase on February 27, 2008, 11:25:42 pm
I am really bad at Photoshop but I have a couple of ideas that I can throw out verbally that hopefully someone would be willing to artistically convey??????

1) Have both the Legoman and Foget in a simple wrestling match (maybe grasping each other as in sumo), with the contours of their bodies somehow forming the letters G and W.

2) Spell out "GAMING WORLD" horizontally, and include Legoman jutting out of a slightly-bulging opening in the "A" or "G" of "GAMING."  On the other side of the logo, Foget is jutting out of the "O" in "WORLD." Foget has just thrown his golden baton at Legomna, while Legoman  is about to fire an arrow at Foget.

OR

3) Make the "L" in "WORLD" into a burning World Trade Center tower (with a tear coming out of it, maybe), while the "GAMING" part of the logo has a bunch of nerdy, sweaty, pimply video gamers somehow incorporated it. This is mean to symbolize the struggle between Post 9/11 World and Game & Demo.

I like this idea, maybe the making their bodies form gw is a bit too complex but legoman and foget grappling over the title gw or gaming world would be quite cool imo.

Would people think that GW then supports gay cartoon midget wrestling?

Zachiroth has some nice logos, imo.

done in vector mostly at college today. Suggestions appreciateds.

Its legoman. hes so jolly and silly... so jolly... makes you want to... make games...

It looks good in pretty much any size, except maybe very very tiny icons, but those would look nicer as pixel art anyways.

dude no those are awful the first one was so much better

edit: if'n you ask me, take 'GW' and place it behind the lego dude (the one with the suit because that was awesome) and make sure not to use Comic Sans because that is the worst font ever.  maybe get someone else to make some cool looking font then have lego man over it then it would be totally sweet please do that please

edit edit: actually i don't think that will work so well unless you add more to his body (at least down to the waist should be fine, i think)
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: headphonics on February 28, 2008, 06:07:39 am
I actually like zachiroth's one a lot too, although I think I'd change the W from cursive to just the same font the G is in, and maybe it's a little small to be the logo for an entire website itself (it seems like east's spanned the page), but it's pretty nice, and the idea of the world being in the G is good.

Also what's up with the teeth in Pyschoskull's?

Dude, before you will make any more of these, note that we are asking for a logo. Not a banner.

Psychoskull: That is really awesome but I agree that the teeth look kinda out of place.

Aztec: I also think that the first legoman in the suit was the best one!
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]

Man the new layout looks so much better and more 'professional'.
Hey man, I don't care that you took the original layout I made and turned into something that makes PHP-Nuke templates look good, but it is not "more professional". Everything has rounded corners and a drop shadow. Everything looks the same. Essentially, the GWLog layout fell out of flavor 10 years ago.

Next time you want a layout, just ask me for a layout, and not for an actual graphic design. (Not that I really care, though. It's perfectly fine with me you rejected what I was originally asked to make. But if you think that this, a collection of photochopped rounded rectangles with drop shadows, is what professional layouts look like, you must have had your head in the sand for the last 10 years.)

No offense or anything but this one does look a lot better. Especially for a BLOG feel, there wasn't enough seperating each item and there was too much free space. This may not look more professional, but it definitely suits the type of site it's meant to be, more.

Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: Sarevok on February 28, 2008, 04:42:26 pm
I have to agree that psychoskull's one is easily the best submission at present, except for the ghastly teeth. The problem is they come out of the mouth at a really fucked up angle... would love to see it with either the teeth removed or aligned inside the mouth like normal teeth. Can't really add much else because it's already been said enough times by other people.
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: Blitzen on February 28, 2008, 04:54:58 pm
I think psychoskull's really takes the cake. I was going to do one a lot like that but now that I see his he did a much better job than I could have.
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: Bill Murray on February 28, 2008, 05:24:41 pm

Straightened the teeth, made a version with no teeth, and made a simpler colored one.

Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: ase on February 28, 2008, 05:49:11 pm
Much much much better

I'm not sure if I prefer the top left or bottom left one, but neither of them have any more issues as far as I am concerned.

edit: on one hand, I like the chipped tooth, but on the other hand I'm not sure if it distracts the viewer from the "GW" in the center
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: Dale Gobbler on February 28, 2008, 05:51:27 pm
Top Left one looks better than the others. No teeth makes his mouth too big or or old or something.

I reckon the mad smile is a bit OTT. Maybe if he was peeking out from behind it'd be a bit more modest and suitable for more applications. ATM it's practically a very aesthetically pleasing LARGE SMILEY icon.

Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: Mama Luigi on February 28, 2008, 07:14:31 pm
Psychoskull's is good... I kind of like the approach I took though.

I tried to use a font that was very clean. The "G" could definitely have any sort of shapes knocked out on that bottom strip to form maybe a NES controller or something.

Of course, any sort of weekly cartoon or whatever could be placed inside. I really like that kind of thing... keeps the logo dynamic.


All vector of course for crisp scaling.

Well, if that's what you think, fine. I don't think this is a good design. Again, I don't mind that what I made was rejected. I understand you wanted to finish it as quickly as possible and didn't want to wait much longer. But I could have made a much more accurate effort if I had known what you wanted a bit better. It's kind of strange when you make something, then someone tells you it's "nearly okay", and then a few edits later it's suddenly completely discarded. If I had known that this is the kind of thing that you wanted, I'd have made something different; that's all I'm saying, critique of the design itself notwithstanding. (Also I'm posting this just because I feel I should clarify myself, not because I want to derail the current discussion.)
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: Grogrog on February 28, 2008, 07:50:36 pm
My vote goes for Psychoskull, top left one, without a chip in his tooth. Also the font is fine, but I think it could be better. And I agree with using FF7 continents instead of earth continents.
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: dada on February 28, 2008, 08:10:17 pm
Also Psychoskull's is great, but I think it would be better if he looked down upon the earth a little. Just so it doesn't really look like the globe itself is part of the lego guy. I'm sure that at this point, if you downscale his logo a lot, people will mistake it for that.

Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: Grogrog on February 28, 2008, 10:30:23 pm
I really like the first one, Aztek, but the main issue in my mind is the letters. The seem to separate and would also look better lined up imo. The letters seem just slightly off. I'd try making some variation on different ways of saying GW or Gaming World.
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: Dale Gobbler on February 28, 2008, 10:34:23 pm
Oops, thanks. I forgot to mention that I'm not that good with Fonts/Lettering. I didn't even bother changing the letters from before. If someone wants to add good looking font to it and make it look better, by all means, be my guest. Personally I would love to see what zack could do with adding font to it.
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: Grogrog on February 28, 2008, 10:38:50 pm
I actually like that font and style, it's just placing that kinda bothers me. It just seems off. Right now it's a toss up between Aztek's and Psychoskull's, for me at leat.
Title: GW Logo Contest! [contest]
Post by: Dale Gobbler on February 28, 2008, 11:24:37 pm
Alright here's two word variations. Only things I could think of, and I'm pretty drained for today. Again if anyone wants to add something to this be my guest.


Red looked the best.

And here's the previous one with level font:

I like the lego man design, but I don't really care for the ANGER mood aspect. It kinda gives off the 13-year-old's angry amateur website feel.

Also, are you trying to make a "GWL" logo, as in "GW Log" or is the G just funny-looking?

I like it but I'd start by changing the G it does look out of place.



Personally however I think if I had to choose one I'd go with Psychoskull's top left logo without the chipped tooth.

I like what you did with the GW, very professional. The Legoman kinda scared me. He looked greedy and corporate, but very crisp. What did you make everything in?
I did the logo part in Photoshop CS3. Photoshop can do vector and is sometimes a bit more flexible with type, I find.
However, I did the corporate lego-dude in Illustrator CS3. Illustrator isn't too difficult to learn - especially if you've used Photoshop - so I'd recommend picking that up and learning how to use it.

I like the lego man design, but I don't really care for the ANGER mood aspect. It kinda gives off the 13-year-old's angry amateur website feel.

Also, are you trying to make a "GWL" logo, as in "GW Log" or is the G just funny-looking?
Hrmm, that's something I hadn't considered. I think I will tweak + revamp things to make a "GW" logo, as well as a seperate "GWL" logo.

Affirmative.  :fogetsmile:

I dunno, this is just something I whipped up because I guess I thought I'd have a try at this, since I have nothing better to do right now.

I can see the W... but the G(I assume it's a G) looks half rectangle, half swastika

Lmao. True. You might want to lighten up the GW. The world looks nice and simple though (which is good).

So far, Psychoskull is the only person with the technical ability and design talent required to make a good logo. You guys would be crazy not to use him for this. His logos can always use more working and re-working, but you can tell he's willing to do that.

I think Iaman's is quite nice, but the "GW" needs to stand out more and be a bit more... free. It's very rigid and solid at the moment, try throwing in some curves.

i like psychoskull's logo the most, but something seems odd about it... maybe if there was a little more of the legoman showing? hmm. i think it's a good idea, but needs some more editing and trying of more variations.
i don't like his top right one or bottom right one. the shines in his eyes are definitely necessary, and there should be teeth of some sort.
Aztec's is good also, and i like the idea of legoman in a suit. there's just so much space though... what if he had "gaming" in one hand, and "world" in the other, so that the space between the two words leaves room for legoman's head? i think that would look better than having "G" and "W" so spaced out.

And in contests, the best contestant should win. I like this community and I would like it if we had a good logo as well.

aw shit, I wish I saw this topic .-. *looks at logos*

Fuck it I'm making one for fun anyways. Has to be workable in black and white right?

edit: Wish I had refrences for Lego Bart and Foget ;-;

Edit: Blahhh I was late already so I kinda didn't veryfy every pixel is aligned, so if you see something let me know. (btw, thats not a font.)
Large Version

Small Version


I have vector files saved if you decide to use this for anything for quick rescaling, but I made the large enough to fit anything you would need online I woul assume.






Also, wow, a lot of these are really good, I wish I looked at more of them before I did mine just now, I realy like Psychoskull's but the GW should stand out a bit more, thats my only problem with it, I also noticed I used the wrong shades of blue haha, easily fixible...but I'm not ganna do that now.

I like Rockman's the most as well, but those wide outlines are pretty distracting.

If I had the time, I could probably do a vector version of this.

if you lose that gay ass font i like XenoSoft's idea with the joystick/buttons. thats pretty cool.

the font and foget on rockmans is awesome, though. but the world looks dumb. i think a really simplified world would be ok otherwise it might be too much for a logo?
