Title: last week for logo contest guys
Post by: mm on April 04, 2002, 05:54:17 AM
let see all yer final entries in this thread
if u dont have a usable host, just attach them to yer post
its MUCH better to arrange them on a page so we get any idea of what the complete image will look like instead of looking at just one button

for example, a little ditty by samwise.  -make the edit buttons and profile buttons a little smaller, bro

the prize is still two PS2 games, one of me and one from bjorn

only bjorn and I will be the final judges and there are no second and 3rd place prizes

good luck, and hurry

This is my first submission.  I modified many of the buttons, and I altered the color scheme a bit to make things look a little sharper.

I\'ve got one more that I\'m working on that uses the most recent set of buttons that I posted in the other "button" thread .  I\'ll finish it tomorrow and upload it.

I\'m mostly digging Hawke\'s myself, though I think it might be a little bright.

Each Link thing is pretty funny, by the way. :)

The challenge is to outdo what we have already without trying to be too fancy which is a really tough challenge.  The buttons aren\'t the main focus, afterall, so they shouldn\'t command all the attention (i.e. be too gaudy)...

I like 182 Ways version by far the best.  The new message and reply buttons are a bit hard to read.  The background is a bit busy, but I\'m being picky.  Very nice look.

Post by: nO-One on April 05, 2002, 10:54:52 AM
OK this is the one I\'ve been focusing my attention on, I was trying to have a simple yet elegant look (I hope I got it), I tried to keep the color scheme. Anyhoo I\'ve got a few variations on the new thread/post reply buttons but these are my fav

Remember the pic is compressed so the quality isn\'t the best :)

hmmm this pic doesn\'t seem to be showing up, I\'ll try a link instead.

Maybe if the forum backgrounds were a little lighter too? I kinda like the darker look though... I could tone down the brightness a bit, if need be, but personally, I like \'em sticking out a little more than... normal :) Now I\'m just so goddamn tired... my right hand shakes around so much I can hardly operate the moose!

EDIT : Demo 2 (http://www.geocities.com/hawkerx13/demo1.html) --- Some minor tweaks... my idea to replace the stars would be small blue P-letters (as in PS2, d\'uh), I also lightened the dividers quite a bit (thinking it\'d go better with the bright buttons), too much actually, or... I don\'t know, someone else be the judge (which actually is the case :p). I can\'t bother making dozens of variations, as the final li\'l tweaks can be made to the final version. If there\'s gonna be one. That\'s about it from me... :)

I like 182ways the best.  Out of curiosity, what happens if you want to use elements from multiple schemes?
Title: last week for logo contest guys
Post by: mm on April 05, 2002, 12:22:42 PM
we want to keep the same color scheme as it matches the PS2

new buttons is merely what were judging on
Title: last week for logo contest guys
Post by: videoholic on April 05, 2002, 01:10:19 PM
Hawke\'s isn\'t bad either.  New thread and reply thread is too light though.  Kind of hard to see.  But I likey none-the-less.

Still like 182\'s design the best.

Post by: 182Ways on April 05, 2002, 04:17:51 PM
Thanks for the warm responses, guys.  Much appreciated. :)

Here\'s the second (and final) submission that I mentioned in my last post.

(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Forochi182.homestead.com%2Ffiles%2Ffinal02.jpg&hash=782b896ed386859a760542ededd439e21aca12e1)

It\'s somewhat more simple, but much more defined, I think.
Title: last week for logo contest guys
Post by: videoholic on April 05, 2002, 04:58:47 PM
I think the other set had a little more character.

I like 128ways first wet of buttons and samwises online indicator. Wow, everyones are really good :(

edit: whoops, I changed the colour scheme of the boards for the second set. Works well with black too though, with a few refinements :)

A little update of the original theme, I changed the online/offline tag, in this screenie mm is offline so the button is dark, when the person is online the button is the same color as the other buttons
http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/preview/bl/blorfolp/Screenshot.jpg

And here a small variation of the original theme, alot of people seemed to like this set. The buttons are a little bit bigger, so due to size limitations the dropshadow is a little smaller aswell

Sublime:
Highly unfair using such a gorgeous child in your advertising campaign for your button theme.  As Big Log\'s agent I demand a serious compensation package if/when you get the games.

Nice constructive criticism there, Racer.  Why do you say "no offense" right before you insult his work in such a way?  

Pretty good buttons, ninja.  The text is a little hard to read, and the actual buttons could use some definition (emboss, perhaps), but otherwise I like the style.

Post by: Disc 2 on April 22, 2002, 10:02:49 AM
racer, no offense, but his buttons were way better than the ugly blue things you came up with


nightninja, I really like the first set (especially the online indicator) but I think the new thread/post reply button needs a little something. Perhaps some distinction between the buttons ( a line or something, maybe an outline. I\'m not sure waht it needs, but it needs something, if that makes any sense.
Title: last week for logo contest guys
Post by: nO-One on April 22, 2002, 01:09:32 PM
ninja, your first set looks nice, although I suggest you clen up the edges a little bit they look a little rough, perhaps you should put a light bevel on them.

yeah and the buttons could use some more breasts.  Remember the first rule of the internet, you can never have too much nudity.

I would be able to.  182 Ways first entry.  There, that was easy.

I agree...  182 ways first entry with the whacky background.  Looks real nice.

And NightNinja, nice smack on Racer.  Logan did some buttons that were better than his.  Good job...
