Title: [C&C] Isometric STP logo
Post by: The 7th Sin on June 26, 2010, 06:37:46 pm
Hello again chaps, this week I have been workin' on a logo for a blog.
My first draft:

I am going for a kind of "tronistic" grid look.

My second draft:

I tried connecting the letters and add arrows to create a more sleek look, but I am worried the arrows came out a little droopy. :/

I really appreciate your help WM, I worked on the angle the arrows face, and I think I ironed out most of the kinks.
I played around a bit with some light oranges and yellows, but the results looked too strange to me, I'll give it some time and come back to that part. ;)

As always if you see anything I have failed to mention, please feel free and give feedback! :)

Thanks in advance,
The 7th Sin

Make sure to line up the tips of the arrows with the rest.

Try breaking the monochromatic effect you have going on -- maybe use some yellows and/or oranges instead of those lighter blues.

Mmm, I am going for a low front lit kind of look. (Imagine stage lighting)
The rules I am using for lighting are as follows:
Corners on the front of the piece will have a degree of shine to them.
Sides of the piece that are not directly lit will be counted as shadowed.
There is no top lighting on the piece.

I have fudged these rules a little in some of my edits, I think I'll try and give the lighting another go today. :)
I hope this is enough explanation to allow you critique accurately.
