Would you like to design our logo?

I need a transparent image to place in the logo spot, that way it will work on all styles.

I'd be interested in a non-transparent logo if you think it'll look good.

I'm horrible with graphics, but I know what I like to see

anyone want to take a stab at a temporary logo for us? :Love_Struck_Face:

what if the winner gets 200 points added to their total for the contest :banana:

 

Sounds awesome. Will see what I can do.

 

What pic are you trying to make transparent?

 

I just want the words

"General Forums"

and if you can fit
"A Place to Talk About Anything"

that would be cool too.

and I guess it doesn't have to be transparent, if it was a logo in a box or oval with a border around it, that would work too.
I just want something to replace the "vBulletin" or one to make our current logo look a little more professional.

 

How about this? It's only very simple, but it's transparent. I made it with The GIMP.

 

can you increase the size a little more

 

OK, how about this:

 

Am currently designing a new banner for ya.

 

I can read it better

how about a silver/white color for it all, you can show it on a dark background as an example

cool

 

I simply turned it to gray scale:



Better now?

Perhaps I'll make a new one later with shiny metal tones or something.

But I'm no graphics designer, perhaps it's best to wait till one of the other guys comes up with something!

 

I like that, but it doesn't have much contrast on the dark skins
maybe if the general forums was a solid lighter color

 

OK, I put the contrast on overdrive for the General Forums letters. It might be that you can't see it here until shown on a darker background (b/c it's white):

 

how about drop the glare down a little, or w/e it is you have on the general forums top part

we have a blue-black style that shows the light logo's

 

Do you mean more like this:



or more like this:



?

 

well i like the brightness of the first, but i can read the 2nd better
do you have like gloss or something shiny on it? the first one has a slight line running down the Gener to me, and a little on the ums since those letters are so close

 

I have only ramped up contrast and/or brightness. With these controls, I won't probably get them any better than that. The reason is that as I ramp up contrast, there'll be overly black lines, and when I ramp up brightness it starts to fade first, then glare. I'll see if I can change the brightness using the gamma constant.

I couldn't find a gamma correction control, but I tried some other things. Here's two more:
The first uses invert + brightness/contrast changes:


The second has separated colors (b/w) + blur + brightness/contrast changes:


Howzat?

Here's a colorized version, how do you like that?

 

I like the first one
I'm going to grab it and see how it looks
I'll add 200 points to your total
I'd still like to see a few other members post a version too
we can add points on to a few ppl

 

Thanks!

Here's another version with solid color (sorry I was a bit too slow! ) :



The others might still come up with a better version, I don't care about the points!
