Site logo design search!!! Contest? Ideas?

Post by DJGuamstyles »

Hey guys, I think we need to identify ourselves with a logo that we can all represent. Just like the old logo, and tees that CrisOne still has. Flip that old logo, to show .net maybe? Something like that. I want to reach out to all of you designers, and graphic artists, who are good at making logos and shit. I want to make stickers, card flyers, tees, whatever, but I want it to be official shit, you know? I need to get a good design for the blog header, and Forum header. It's open to anything, so whenever you guys have free time, post up some ideas! Thanks! ...submit contest ideas too, if you have any.

I actually like it, you just have to change the layout to match it. Blue doesn't really match at all.

Yeah I know. I want to make the forums layout not too flashy, so it's easy to read, and easy to find what you're looking for, but until I find a theme that looks good, and is all of the above things, then this will have to do, hehe.

Oh, and Urban Steeze. on SC forums, posted up this design:

Here's a few I was messing with earlier. Really amateur, but they're the exact size of the blog header. (940x198 pixels in case you wanted to design one for the blog.

A few more. Sorry for the Rasta theme on all of them, but I am trying out different Fonts, and variations of Caps and lowercase, and I don't want the design to trick me or you guys into thinking its better.

I was being bored, and I just downloaded this free graphics program called Inkscape. Pretty cool, but I have no clue as to what I'm doing! It can create vector based graphics, and what not, and I somehow managed this:

I also messed around with these in Photoshop a few days back. (Not smooth!) Just for fun.

Yeah man any help and ideas would be awesome. The header for the forum is limited in size, I think? Not sure. Never tried uploading a large image similar to the one just above...I just redid the stock logo that came with the theme. I just go by trial and error. If you can colormatch the one above, I'm down to use it, and also for the blog. The blog is more of my concern, since that is the face of OTWS, and I need to find a good, customizable layout for it, so it doesn't look so generic, and amateur. All ideas welcome! We need a logo to associate with OTWS. Something that is our identity. Right now, it has this military theme in my opinion, cause it's just what I thought of first. We can go in any direction, as long as it's our own direction, and doesn't look like we're copying another style.

I was messing around, and came up with this lil' logo. I also compressed it, and it kinda made it a little jagged. The original file is larger, and smoother, and should look nice as a sticker. I couldn't think of what to put in the green area, so I made sort of a shadow for the skateboard. What else would look good in green, below it...and don't say weed! Every homeboy T-shirt brand has weed as the Cali flag grass, hehe. Perhaps a ramp or something? A rail?
