Hi all,

I have been getting more and more excitied about Blender lately…been messing around with some P.R. shtuff…tell me what you think…as I said in broken’s interface thread…I think its time we show this industry what we’re made of!

Cheers,
Landis

I really like the glassy look.

PS: This should really belong in another forum though.

Landis · August 13, 2003, 6:27pm

Sorry buddy…where though?..Ill move it as soon as you reply!

theeth · August 13, 2003, 6:33pm

News & Chat would be more appropriate. I’ll move it there.

though it could belong in WIP or Finished too, but I think it belongs more in News & Chat.

Thanks theeth! Ahhhhhhhhhh (sigh)…much better.

theeth · August 13, 2003, 6:40pm

ok now, back on topic.

Could you make one with a transparent background (png preferably), it would be easier that way to change the background color to make it blend on a website.

Landis · August 13, 2003, 6:42pm

doing it now…

Landis · August 13, 2003, 6:46pm

ok buddy…here you go …

Not sure if it worked correctly though…I havent really messed with PNG’s…let me know as soon as you can…

theeth · August 13, 2003, 7:13pm

it’s perfect, thanks

PS: this thread is starting to look like a two persons conversation more and more

This PNG thing would really work out nicely with future splash screens and such…been playing around with different colors and it looks good with pretty much any color.

TorQ · August 13, 2003, 7:36pm

I like some of what you are doing… I personally think the “candy button” look has been done to death. Aside from that I’m also not fond of the way that the “fins” on the logo are separated, also the bullseye of the logo is too offcenter. I like the other parts of the design namely the flat subdued colors. I would much rather prefer to see this with a variation of the more streamlined official logo.

Here is an updated version…I am still working on it though

and here is the PNG version theeth

hey landis!

looking good

is this for bf-blender or tuhopuu ?

damn!

/me needs to get back on inspirationtrack

bob_dog · August 13, 2003, 11:33pm

I like it too, but like TorQ I’m having problems with the little “fins” on the bullseye. They look like an afterthought instead of an integral part of the logo like on the original.

EnV · August 14, 2003, 12:25am

I don’t find anything wrong with the fins appearing separated from the bullseye. To me it’s the best logo for Blender I ever seen till now. Good job, Landis!

Actually, it’s not meant to be in the center. Look at the official logo.

Pablosbrain · August 14, 2003, 6:22am

I to think the fins look a little off. If they were maybe part of the central sphere piece. Sorta like a chemistry type container. That gives me an idea for an animation now too! But it is very cool!

Landis · August 14, 2003, 11:02am

Thanks for all of the feedback! I will see what I can do with the fins…I actually tried to make them look that way but I will come up with a different version…here is the latest that I modified a little for my tuhopuu splash screen submission:
