Topic: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

I don't know if anyone has noticed or not but we have no official logo for either the website or the DriverPacks BASE application.
We need some graphics artists to come up with ideas (I can draw stick-figures, but that's the extent of my artistic skills).

This is your chance for fame and recognition!

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

Here is a Logo I made & a Banner also
I used the image from here Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks logo (designed by XPero)  in the left corner.
I can change anything you want in any of these.
Any input is welcome.

Also I have this image http://driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/BTS_DriverPacks.png as a favicon that will work for the web sites.
You can download the file here. favicon.zip

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

They're a nice start.  I particularly like the favicon (I'm tired of staring at either a blank icon or the Google icon in Firefox!).
A site admin needs to add it though (Bâshrat the Sneaky or OverFlow).
I'd prefer a banner that wasn't animated though (most forums do not allow animated signatures/avatars.)

Good work, you're the first to submit anything.

This took a bit to get it transparent to work on the forum & driver packs base web site

The transparency is neat, however, as you are already using PNG format, maybe you could get them to feature alpha transparency instead of this (somewhat) dithered one, i. e. a smooth transition from 100% opacity to 0%.

As they are now, they look like plain old GIFs and I'm sure we want to feature the latest in technology anyhow big_smile


Otherwise, great work, thanks for you effords!

Could you give some font alternatives, please?
I'd like to be able to choose a bit wink

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

An anti-aliased font would be nice too.

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

The font, from what I can tell, is in fact anti-aliased.
It's just the suboptimal use of transparency (no alpha transparency) that lets it appear jagged in the last two samples.

If you confer with the non-transparent banners, you will notice the font is as smooth as it gets (hence anti-aliased).

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

I actually had something more tech-themed in mind.

Your sig font, for instance, is a good example.

I don't dislike the fonts per se but I feel they should underline what the whole thing is about, really.
Also, would fit better to the icon, IMO.


Anyway, that's just my opinion.
Please let the ideas come!
Perfections needs a stream of creativity to reach its goal. smile

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

I prefer the "easy to read" fonts like your sig King Cobra.  The gothic-theme fonts don't read very well.  The sig above looks like it reads "DrinerPact's.net" which doesn't make sense at all. tongue

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

Cool we have a font you both agree on, now I need some info from you guys.
In the banner image I can make the size of the font a little smaller & more to the
top of the banner with a slogan under it in a smaller font & maybe a different type font
since the space age is only in a caps format or just smaller with the space age 1, also
what type of coloring would you like it to be in? Like a solid or gradient or I can use textured.
Please give me some idea of what you might like so I can do some samples.
thanks
The site name is done with the font space age dated in 2002
The slogan is dated in 2001. They both are at 28 pixels

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

Didn't we decide about a year ago on a slogan?  Wasn't it "The 'unknown device' eliminator"?

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

Red text is not what we want right? smile
Looking at the logo and the context of computers I would opt for blue/gray?

Also the font used for the 'Slogan goes here' part is pretty nice (better then the all caps font).

Just my 2c.
