fyi here is the current team logo:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/teamzupasimple gradient background with simpler text. that was done years ago in about 5 minutes as a placeholder.
here's an example of the 3d text element i'd like:
http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/tuto … ureID=1617although obviously not of that level/quality-- i hope you get the idea. same gradient background, only circular/central instead of downwards... bright text-based logo in the middle with the team name (zupa) in an animated or 'pronounced' way, using PS effects or whatever. go nuts on that one. so long as it's distinct. bearing in mind that the in-game avatars are considerably smaller than 184x184, the team-name should still be distinguishable in-game on the downscaled version. having a short team-name is a bonus here, i guess
.
alternatively, having a large 'focus' letter, e.g. Z as a centre-piece, with the text-name in simple writing underneath-- such as on this link:
http://www.online-photoshoptutorials.co … -text.html would be another cool way to do it. either way, up to you guys i guess! there are a bunch of cool tutorials for ideas/brainstorming/instructions here:
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/03 … tutorials/i really am just too lazy and too crap at photoshop to bother reinstalling it again. i'll give karmaz everyday for a week and will pay via paypal if necessary for this. depends entirely on the quality and how much time/effort you're willing to spend on it. big thanks!
