Title: New logo contest
Post by: Harald on September 16, 2012, 06:58:20 pm
Yet another contest! We are looking for something fancier than the basic logo/lettering we have now. It would be good if the logo works plain-colored too like the current one so we can put it on the flag background again. When displayed ingame and or in the new promotion video it can have additional effects like that chrome look we have now.

Deadline: End of September 2012
Reward: 1 of those precious points

They look nice. But I would make the shadows on the second banner fade a little bit more on the edges.

Why do you make the 2h hero in supergear and the 1hander peasantlike :O I call conspiracy vs 1handers.

The concept was to represent the evolution of the player in stuff & skill (it came to my mind when I heard cRPG) that is very important in cRPG. The hero is 2h because most of the famous players were 2h at the begining of cRPG. And even if there is more and more 1h nowadays, it's the idea I kept from cRPG.
Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Thomek on September 17, 2012, 07:00:54 pm
Concept is fantastic I think, but without life as it is now. Some interaction/fighting between the characters, some blood and arrows.. The "Evolution" idea that you are using is so well known that it could, and should be played with.

Yeah it is vector - texture, 3D'ness etc is put on over that....but the base vector is there.

Post by: Bjord on September 17, 2012, 08:36:14 pm
Ah, I had assumed you used Cinema 4D or something like that for the text, looks well made. Did you make the dimensional effects by hand?

I also like the presentation with the vignette etc. :D

IMO, you should do more font types, play around with the effects more. I was also gonna try to contribute, and I had a metal texture(real crispy one) in mind.

May I ask what programs you use?
Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Elindor on September 17, 2012, 09:00:15 pm
The base logo is created in Illustrator and effects applied in Photoshop/After Effects

Yeah, some variations on the base logo could be good...different fonts/layouts

my logo is build completly as a vector graphic.

the c is designed as a sickle and the R, P and G is designed in the colors from peasant shirt over leather armor to plate - its a symbolic for the evolution from peasant to hero in crpg (my english is not the best)

I mean,  like, sword put into the text, some of the letters damaged by it (like cut in half and stuff)...also, could be good if there is some reaper with this scythe of its and the letters are below the blade of his to the left/right of his head :)

I got them ideas in my head, but i cannot make it work in any graphic editor :(

Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Bjord on September 19, 2012, 11:56:16 am
While this looks cool for people who are already playing the game/mod, I think it does not appeal to those who are seeing it for the first time.

Like I said before, I think that common medieval elements along with simplicity should be primary thing when considering design.

Also, it would be interesting to see someone making a logo without the crpg letters. It would be harder, but more interesting in my opinion...

To be honest, it didn't appeal to me at all. Why is no one giving Elindor more feedback? His is by far the most qualitative so far. The others are quick 10 minute efforts(no offence, but that's what it looks like).
Title: Re: New logo contest

Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Leshma on September 19, 2012, 01:16:55 pm
Torben, your idea is great but needs some work. Engrave the letters into the shield but make sure there are visible and in focus, also do something about C letters. You could also add swords (sword and axe, sword and spear) behind the shield so that only tip blade and hilt are visible.

Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Elindor on September 19, 2012, 07:05:57 pm
Thanks for the +'s guys.

I do design of various kinds for a living, and a logo usually should start from a very basic platform, preferably greyscale even. 
First you work out the type treatment and basic iconography, then as those are approved you move into colors and treatments like gradients and textures, etc...although there should always be a "Broadcast" (all the glitz) and a "Clean/Vector" version - and *BOTH* need to be easily readable and discerned.

Things to think about are composition and contrast, Torben's I like the shield idea but the contrast between the tones on the shield and in the type is not high enough and therefore hard to read.  Perhaps his type should be lighter in tone to change that.

Also, try to look at your logo big but also SMALL!  Make sure the logo still reads well at very small sizes that it might be used at.

----

I could add a banner or a shield or something, but I wanted to start simply with the type treatment because that is what Harald asked for in his original post.
Perhaps I'll work on some more ;)

Hope some of that helps people as they move forward.

And Bjord thanks for the support!  truth is I probably spent *less* time than most people because I do stuff like this all the time, but I just know the software and the principles.  :D

Here are some other logos Ive designed:

Thovex like the type treatment....not sure the hat with the axe would work small, maybe those could be made into more a simple iconographic image for smaller versions?
Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Elindor on September 19, 2012, 07:14:01 pm
Elindor's is definitely more appropriate for a logo.

If I may suggest him to embed some kind of "battle scars" into the letters and/or some pieces of armor like mail or plate somewhere into it.

Good ideas Kulin.
Some notches here and there, and perhaps even different textures of armor scraps....like it!

Disagree, heavily, and while Elindors may have slightly more quality than Torbens, Torben got a far better idea over all and it got far more potential, as cool as Elindors letters may look they're just letters, always just will be letters...

I must admit this is not really a logo, Elindor and Kulin_ban are right.

Maybe work backwards now Elio, and take the basics of what you have. 

Refine the type (relation of sizing, spacing, fonts, etc) and make the sword through the C into an iconographic image.

Could be a good logo!

Remove the sword and fire (so the basic 6 designs) and i love it as a logo. Logo should be simple like that, and i love the trowing axe in the hat.
Most of the other designs here are not logo's, they are way to detailed for a logo.

This.

But people always want to see a lot of flashy stuff...even though a logo needs to be designed to work black/white or color, small or big, alone or with all kinds of shit around it.
A logo is carefully designed typography (font choice, spacing, scaling, etc) and iconographic imagery which usually embodies the entire subject in one concise and simple image. 

Here are some examples of "logos"

You got me a bit wrong Thovex....companies of course have more plain logos, and games might have more complex ones, but still some of these wouldn't work.

Look at the size of the cRPG logo on the website....does the logo in question work there at that scale?  That is what needs to be thought about.  Does it work in black or white?  Etc....

This is a problem with lack of instructions. I don't see why they would change the tiny bannerlike logo that says "cRPG beta". It looks great to me and anything flashier, as you say, would only lead to bad quality due to the size.

A more simplistic logo if that's what's required:

If Elindor doesn't win this, then there's something fishy going on!

Elio's is also very nice, so definitely runner up.

As for the others, they're nice too but in my fair opinion, and please don't take this personally, are a bit lukewarm. They don't appeal to me, and ultimately, I can't see them on the website or anywhere else. Elindor obviously knows what he's doing, he does this for a living and he's educated in graphic design. I think that is also clear by the way he describes the ideal logo, as well as in his logo itself. Even in less obvious aspects, like his workflow. Most people only use one program to do everything, but he is refining his work with each step, Illustrator for the font itself(which I assume he designed himself and didn't just snatch one from dafont.com), and then your run-of-the-mill editing software for the high quality effects and textures. That windswept banner for example, is looking very sublime.

This probably sounds like pretentious garbage to you, but I value the worth of a good work flow, as I am studying photography. I've taken one course of graphic design, and it was equally important.

I am not asskissing, I am simply praising Elindor's work as I feel that is something that has been overlooked in all this circlejerk. :lol:

Idea > professional execution
Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Bjord on September 20, 2012, 09:58:22 pm
Typical response from someone who has no insight, not to mention idea(which the very definition you abuse with that post).

People looking at the logo at first glance won't notice the oh-so profound idea(so far, there are no especially "unique" ideas so don't give me that crap), if the execution and quality is mediocre. Quality is what matters. And quality itself is an idea, since it takes a trained eye to spot "quality" or design "quality".

I would grace my critique by naming the works I think don't make the cut and maybe a couple of words etc, but I can already see now that it would just leave some bitter resentment.

And to those who say cRPG isn't a company: So? Why should it matter? The image it gives people is just as important for cRPG as it is for big global companies. It's the symbol of the mod itself. There is no reason why its logo shouldn't look just as professional.

Please tell me I'm not the only one with these values.. :lol:

EDIT: It's absolutely pathetic that you minus all my posts without ever replying to them, Falka. I'm so glad people like you have zero ways of influencing the mod.

I'm looking out for cRPG's best interests, this is not supposed to be personal. This is about an important improvement for cRPG to make its appearance more attractive to interested players. If my arguments don't resonate enough with you(such as professionalism, quality, execution, design), then ARGUE against them. It's so petty to leave one sentence posts. If you have nothing better to post, don't post it.

...so far mine kinda looks the most like that...

I can add a border/plaque thingy behind it if you like :)
Maybe I will actually...

The point though is that the "super pro sober logo" can then be TURNED INTO a crazy 3D banner of awesomeness...but the whole thing should start with a soundly designed logo.

The guys who made that Warcraft 3D plaque started with a flat, vector, font treatment...and once that was solid, they added to it.
But, if all that was stripped away, that Warcraft font - white over black - would STILL be recognizable and strong.  That's the point.

So what does that mean here?  It means add flames and effects and shields etc...but just make sure the base of it is soundly designed too....thats all!

Happy logo making!   :mrgreen:

Now I might have somewhat of a romanticized view of cRPG. It's a remnant from the old days, when cRPG was silly. Silly, but hilarious and relaxed. Starting from 2011 onwards, this mod went into a more seriuz bizzniz direction. Which is horrible and killed the mod. I have always advocated a return to the relaxed and silly cRPG of old. Therefore I support this logo:

Fuck seriuz bizzniz, pick this logo, away with you corporate looking logos. Let the logo represent the funny and casual approach that this mod should have. Reimplement cross dressing. Let the carpets do their flying. Reimplement the Swords of Cookies and Tears and the Looney Toons Axe. Remove the multiplier and above all, bring back the Boulder on a Stick model.

Because you have been posting 90% whine, rage and shitposts the last couple of days. Stop it.

If you can't see the posts where I argue and debate, you are looking at the wrong places. I debate, argue and come up with stuff a lot in the suggestion/game balance boards. It's just that when I'm in the rest of the forum (beginner's help, guides, diplomacy, strat issues, map making) I'm not there to discuss or argue. I'm there to comment and help out. Not everyone is a shitposter looking for people to whine against.

Besides, I'm always right.  It's not about arguing as much as making people realizing I speak the truth.

Something more "atmospheric" perhaps, which can be abbreviated better? Like "The Rise of Warriors" (really bad example, 5 sec. thinking time) which would be abbreviated "Trow". Easier to pronounce, and the full name sounds more epic. (Or in this case, it tries harder to sound epic).

I actually agree here too. CRPG as a name makes absolutely no sense, even to someoen like myself whose been playing for a year, i still cannot fancy a guess as to what the C means, much less a player whose just looking around at mods. Take for example the Europe 1200 AD mod, or Mount and Gladius, seeing those names you know what the mod is and what its probabbly about. The name CRPG is not very intuitive at all.  Also mount and blade warband, or any combination of thsoe words is not in teh title, so its not always immediatly obvoius what game the mod is for, unless your specifically looking at warband mods. RPG is a pretty generic term not that its a bad one, but it could refer to alot of games. If you see a name like Mount and Gladius around you get the idea that its a mount and blade warband mod. Not to mention "CRPG" isnt too catchy or attractive in general.

By the way is the CRPG abbreviation actually written out anywhere, id like to know what it means.
Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Elindor on September 21, 2012, 07:42:38 am
I heard it was just "Character RPG" basically....the C standing for Character?

Not sure....

It should be called something epic and harsh like - Trails of Ascension
Because you start and you're shit and you stay shit for a long time until you ascend to decent, then someday maybe good :)

But it really would be weird if the name changed at this point....
Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Kelugarn on September 21, 2012, 07:52:20 am
In the original post on the TW forums IIRC it was stated that the "c" was for character, as in persistent characters in the mod (the main selling point of cRPG back then). But who knows, that was back in the age of myth, and the mod has changed since then.

Back to the main topic: I agree with Teeth. Playing this mod since release has always been about absurdity and fanciful role playing for me. Sure strat might add a new layer of features and game play but cRPG isn't a platform for strat, strat is just another game mode in cRPG. Keeping this in mind the felt hat design (maybe simplified), in my opinion, embodies the nature of cRPG: Al_Adin/Ja_Far, peasant wars, a dev team that enjoys playing the mod as much as the community, and fun.

We have a dev team that enjoys shenanigans as much as anyone else, and it seems wrong to me that cRPG should be represented by something high-intensity/super-serious/gritty(/sexy/beautiful).

People play games because they're fun, cRPG's logo should represent the enjoyable aspects of playing.

EDIT: And please don't change the name of the mod to some over-hyped, melodramatic, cliche shit. cRPG is quirky and strangely unique.

For the record Teeh...I have supported Thovex's logo from the beginning...

It's not about "fun" or not - it's about it being well designed. 
Mine is (hopefully) well designed and serious toned.  Thovex's is well designed and more jovial in tone. 

I fully support Thovex's logo and would be happy if it won.
For the record. I'm sorry if it might have sounded like I didn't appreciate your logo, which I really do. It's just that your ass is probably still sore from Bjord's willing tongue.

Like this too...mostly the black/white versions.

I would say for the colored one, work on the "earth" part (assuming that is a mound of earth, dirt, etc).
Maybe have it not "liquid" looking and more textural like dirt.  Just a thought.

Also, on the colored one, maybe look into more of a gritty treatment for the lettering.

Not to be mean or anything but that's kinda the idea :lol:. At first glance it will look only just as you described "a cluster of figures". Now look at the small one in the banner, then look back to the bigger one. I even ripped out all the small details from the fighters so the thing is easier to spot :(.

Yeh starting to look awesome! Maybe needs some work on the letters and the overall contrast/brightness/ or lights/shadow things can't really tell what it is but something that makes the sword fit in with the letters better. Maybe it's the shadows. Looks great even now tho :).
Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Ninja_Khorin on September 24, 2012, 02:32:59 am
Yeah. I'm still dabbling with the shadowing. The font is a little too much to change for 3:30AM(essentially requires me to do it all over, which would take about 30-90 minutes).

But this is great fun, though. These are the first times I'm making logo's that require some actual doing.
Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Son Of Odin on September 24, 2012, 02:44:10 am
I'd try out some other fonts as well to see if they fit better. That one aint too bad either but something about the shadows or the font texture makes it look too separate piece when comparing to the sword. I can't right put my finger on it.

Bjord, your stand on using models without permission is "if they don't give you permission just use it anyway, fuck them and their hard work." please stop sucking Elindors dick for a second and think about things, maybe you'll realize this ain't that different.

Did not know it was the same font as Elindor. Just browsed through my fonts in Gimp and tried a bunch of different ones, and most are way too ornamental for my taste or not medieval-ish enough, this striked a nice middleground.

It's not exactly an uncommon font. It was either this font, or some horribly overstylized medieval fonts, or the warcraft font or the lotr font which I had to choose from. I believe this one is the God of War font. This reminded me of Bjord's earlier comment about Elindor's font:

Oh, and here it is without the drop shadow(still need to clean the sword up a bit):

Heh. That happened originally by mistake, but it kind of grew on me, because it reminded me of CRPG(computer role-playing games) game logo's of old.
They had the grainy dirty quality to them mainly due to being lower resolution and always looked a little off in colours. I thought it'd be a funny double-reference that no one will understand   :lol:

This is some nice work!

Some thoughts:

- On a darker background some decent rim lighting may come in handy.
- I don't know if it'll need the texture so badly, maybe a less heavy textured version for the new trailer, but for the website it won't need a texture I'd say.
- I like the flag. but I personally would change it in a way that you can read the letters even without the flag being transparent. I like the effects though, I'm not against it. Like I said, the logo version for a trailer should have some more action, imho.
- About the typography, will you do anything about the lower part of the R letter? I think it should be adjusted so that it goes along with the P more smoothly. Maybe like this:

I did some doodling yesterday night and this is the best concept i could come up with. The idea is that the c would be used as the tip of a sword or arrow or some other weapon in a fancy version, in a plain version it would just be a distinct looking c. It might even work for an animation where the RPG is stabbed by a sword or hit by an arrow (but that is way beyond my skills, doing a clean version of my doodle will already be a challenge).

Well, sword blade is very narrow compared to its overall length so it would be a very small "crpg" lettering. Also swords have sharp point, which doesn't really make it more optimistic. We could distort perspective(I even tried) but wont look good.

I tried using battleaxe instead of sword, result is here.

Very simple concept, with blood(i know blood, its getting cheesy already, can always be removed)

Great idea! It's more than a fancy font and couple effects. That with animated shit would look awesome.

I was thinking about same kind of thing with my logo but sadly I can't animate. It would have had the figures fighting, running and then freeze framed as when they form cRPG- shape. The 2h hero on the right ofc gets bumped by a horse :). That's only a wet dream at the moment... So many ideas and not enough skill...

Hmm when talking about animations... I just thought that wouldn't it be goddamn cool to add animated intro when the game launches? Like the current Taleworlds and Paradox intros. It throws in the logo and stuff. Just thinking it would be cool.

New submission, just because I have so much other shit to do that gotta to do this in stead. :)

Anyway, as always, just a sketch, unbalanced atm.. could be other colors, textures, fonts etc etc..  Would be better if I would make it for real.

Well, if someone made a 3d model of a logo it honestly wouldn't be that much more work.


2d would be much more difficult though because they'd have to make every single frame. 3d programs fill in the in-between frames.



I suppose you could even just put the 2d logo in a 3d program though and make it work..

Just make a code that disables the skipping for the first run of its implementation. Everyone has a nice look and in the future you skip if you want.

Some devs do this for their games, to force people to watch the company logos etc.

Animated intros are a nice way of displaying some good qualities of a mod(if the mod is already considered "good"). I think it would impress a lot of new players, so why not?

And you're not the one doing it, anyway.

I tend to like game intros but when it's just company logos or when I already saw it over 9000 times (like the paradox intro, ho my god I know every pixel of it), I like to be able to deactivate it, or at least skip it.
Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Bjord on September 26, 2012, 12:17:51 am
I was not insisting on forcing everyone to watch it every time :lol:, I suggest removing the Paradox and Taleworlds logos and replacing them wit 8-12 second cRPG logo. You can't skip it the first time, but next run of the client allows you to.

But this is all assuming the logo animation is nice to look at and isn't a piece of shit. I wouldn't force anyone to watch that, not even 1 second for only the first time.

Hmm I don't skip the intros when I play some game for the first time... I might be weird for sure but I do watch the intros every time when I play a new game. Would make a good impression to some new players.

Yeah but, as stated people barely ever watch intros, some watch 'em the first time (me included if the intro isn't getting shitty and long as hell) and then some watch 'em the first time and then another time ten years later for nostalgia.

This thread is not derailed. Keep on making those logos and ignore the discussion about animated intro for game launch/cRPG video. At this point we are searching for the simple new logo. Post your ideas.
Title: Re: New logo contest
Post by: Made in China on September 26, 2012, 10:38:05 pm
I think we (or only the devs) should define what is cRPG for us? What comes to our minds when we heard this word? What is this mod for us?

All this kind of questions, so then when we have a idea of a theme who is adequate for the most part of the players, we (all the guys who knows how to create logo & art stuff) will be able to work together on the same idea to create a good logo :)

What do you think?

Awesome ideas!

I have a few similar:

Dragon breathing fire on a robot unicorn dashing on rainbows with cRPG under the rainbow

Chuck Norris roundhouse kicking a Charger, killing it one blow splattering blood making cRPG

A katana blocking a lightsaber without breaking (katanas are superior to everything, duh) and creating sparks, making cRPG

A donkey **ck shaped as the letters C R P G

Awesome ideas, man, thanks for the inspiration.

I am only trying to present idea because compared to most guys in this thread, I am a total noob when it comes to image editing.

I'm really not that great at it either, but I imagine the devs are smart enough to find a good idea and find someone who's good at image editing and put the two together.  Perhaps they like your overall concept, someone else's text, a third person's color scheme, and hand that to someone who's demonstrated good image manipulation skills in this thread to get a logo that everyone can be proud of.

Thx for feedback...reason I wasnt sure about this logo is that sword as symbol is overly used in medieval themed logos etc.
By the way is tip of blade too blunt? I think it could be sharper.

One other thing, tried fit this on red banner and it seems to be difficult because long width of the logo. Problem could be avoided positioning sword on top of letters like I did in one of my logo variations.

The top row of the variations you posted would fit better since they are not so horizontal - they also do not rely as heavily on the sword icon.  For that reason I personally think those 2 are the best....even the one without the sword at all.

What dev team also should have though.. is someone (in close coop with chadz) in charge of vision and design etc.. So we can make it so all visual elements match.
