[WIP] ► Forum logotype

[SirBilly]

I guess my last post wasn't interesting enough. Anyway, I made another update! 

[Terley]

I like the concept but I think you'd be better looking at other isometric art to help, I'd use about 7 or 8 colours for the whole of this.. Well i've done a quick edit of some of the text to show ya what i'd do. Use of black to seperate it from the back, I think you had the right idea with outlining it but it just needs more contrast imho. Hope this edit helps.

[SirBilly]

Wow, you sure know a lot!
I Finished the style you were going in to and I made a new background with the same colours. And I also made one with light blue letters, to make it even easier to read.
I showed the owner of the forum the previous logo and he thought it was great, but it perhaps needed a little more Habbo in it, so im thinking of mabye adding some of these to start with (Official Habbo symbols, pops up when you've got a new message):


Mainly because I want the logo to represent discussion and interaction, the forum is far more active than the logo is at the moment.

Anyway heres the update(s):

[SirBilly]

Another one with a little bit less harsh colours, but with the same sharp outlining on the text. I also made the background a little bit out of focus when I changed the dark blue to a litte brighter shade so the letters gets more attention

[Terley]

I think it might looks better to be quickly read if the contrast values of the background and main logo varied. Using colours from the same palette but just having the background not so contrasted, so the lightsource is the same without any clashing.



it's looking great, just keep in mind composition and focal points. It's more graphic design than art.

Chiming in late, but regardless I'd just like to say the 'a' in Hab could be better recognizable as an 'a', could be mistaken as an 'o', even though 'FORUM' has an 'o', my eye hadn't got there yet before I tried to figure out how to read 'Hab'.

[Dr D]

I've been reading it as a 'J'.

[Terley]

im gonna stop doing edits but here's how I'd have the A

It's amazing how people help eachother out here, thanks a lot!

Ok first, thanks a lot Terley!
I think I'm going for my last edit, they seemed to really like the white I used, and it feels a little bit more catroonish, wich fits the forum perfectly since it's a for members of the Habbo community!
And I think the A shouldn't be a capital, I'll fix the A in a milisec! I'll show a version with Terley's A aswell, you never know!

Thanks a lot again for helping me develop a beautiful logo for the forum, and if anyone feel like posting any crits, go ahead, this willl editable anytime!

[SirBilly]

I'm actually gonna go with Terley's A, but it's up to them to decide!
