My latest attempt at touching up my previous version.  I may not win but at least I'm learning a lot about how to use image software (also thanks to Khorin for letting me use the sword-in-the-R idea:

edit: just putting this in my first and last post in the thread.

Damn completly forgot about the native singleplayer faction icons.
The cRPG logo should kinda look like one of those IMO.

I can try draw one of these on paper, with some customized stuff for cRPG, will take a while though, and then try make it as digital art.

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:

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.

bjord... you're making science out of nothing, the whole thing is very simple

crpg needs a logo

it needs to be visually appealing and flexible in terms of usability

the one that devs think would fit best in the concept of crpg will win

That's exactly what I was saying, and I only think one of the submissions makes the cut.

It's ridiculous how people put their fingera in their ears when you say something that hurts their sense of accomplishment.

So few people these days have the decency to accept criticism.

"Pro super logo"? :lol:

Anyway, that logo is nice.

Remember, Bjord is not a douchebag !

Also I don't really get how the exchange between you and Teeth is anywhere close to a conversation. Maybe you two value your relationship on another level.

But yeah, the logo doesn't need to convey any hidden message, it needs to be attractive and distinctive.

its very much personal preference, you like this , he likes that etc, and in the end it comes to what do devs like.

this whole time you've been pretty much saying "I LIKE THIS ONE, YOU HEAR I LIKE THIS ONE, THIS ONE IS THE BEST CAUSE I LIKE IT, AND SHOULD WIN, HOW CAN YOU LIKE OTHERS, THIS ONE IS BEST"

And so has everyone fucking else? I'm just giving credit where credit is due. I'm sorry if I didn't like your 10 minute work.
I just seriously have a hard time imaginig how people are actually drooling over mediocre stuff.

Anyway, I guess the tolerance for my subjectivity has been exhausted in this thread, so with that I'll remove myself. I hope you win, Elindor.

Chillax Gazda. Bjord is just on his (daily) PMS trip.
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

Why is that? I can't argue for my preference or that is seen as "PMS trip"?

I also find it interesting how you're always commenting on stuff, but you never argue, you never debate. I have a hard time respecting people like that.

What happened to this thread?

Anyway, some examples of how my logo can be utilized. Though about adding a border and background similar, but too lazy at the moment.
