You know, if you wish I can make you a 3-D, shiny, Photoshop version of that.

~B~

I like it. Although we may need to do something like a two-layered circle if we expand anymore-- it's getting crowded!

Wow, I would really like to see that Ballom, but only if you can retain the accurate colors and generally feel, so as not to squander the hard work already done by Talvak.

In truth I would love it if you could make the black edges and lettering seem slightly raised and then the colored sections somewhat metallic and slightly recessed, giving the entire logo the appearance of being like a coin of sorts.

Oh, and ChocoLvr13, I have already created a new design involving concentric rings for that possibility.

Sure thing, Ausar. How do you like this:

I also removed the white in the corners, so it blends in better.

That's not a bad rough draft Ballom, however the effect I was hoping for is just the opposite as the ring on this.

If possible I think the black edges need to be sharper, and as I requested, raised, so that the colored sections appear recessed. Oh, and I hadn't noticed it on the picture I posted, but from your draft it clearly seems to have lost a bit of its' circular shape?

On a positive note, I love what you've done with the inner section, including the lettering, and adore the rounded "see-through" corners.

Regardless of my previous comments, I appreciate what you've done here, particularly since I don't have the computer program nor the graphic arts experience to do this myself.

I think that looks a lot more recessed.

Here's a version with the mentioned concentric circles:

Made with MS Paint and MS Powerpoint for those curious.

I like the Photoshopped version, but to make it appear more coin-like; evenly raise the entire border and the lettering, leave the white background flat, and add an overall metallic shine to it.

I would very much like to see this made into a 3-D spinny. Nice to know everyone is liking it.

Kohila linked me to this. Dunno why, but I suppose I'll say that it's all shiny and stuff, and EW likes shininess.

~EW~

Thanks for making my color throughout the logo, Ausar.

I like this one more than your other one, except the edges look a bit rough.

Your second draft is certainly closer to my described vision Ballom, now I guess it just needs the effects described by Talvak and a major touch up to the roundness of the borders as Zorrakh pointed out as well.

Oh, and Talvak, I really like what you've done with the concentric circles, particularly the orientation of the Turaga & Toa sections, however a tree grows from the inside out, thus the newest rings should be closer to the center and the oldest towards the edge. Also, if you could invert the Matoran section and rotate it so that the teal section is at the top you would basically have exactly what I hand drew the other day.

I've made some more changes to fit your suggestions, guys.

What do you think?

~B~

Wow, that's really great Ballom, my only complaint now would be the new Golden color. (In homage to Åuset's design I'd preferred a White or Silver effect. )

Other than that, I'd say it's fantastic.

Wonder what the rest of the group thinks?

Silver as requested:

~B~

are you looking for something like this? i was bored and figured i'd try to help out..

I like the one V made, looks cool but Talvaks one is also good. but as Ausar said, if the matoran section was in the center section, keep the toa pat and the turaga part outside, it would be pretty cool

I really like what you've done with your creation, particularly the reflection in the middle and the smoothness of your ring, which are somewhat superior to the one created by Ballom, however you failed to understand my assertion that the specific colors and placement of the sections in the ring are vitally important that they remain as close to identical as possible to the ones shown in the revision created by Talvak that appears in the primary post.

Or to put it into a language you can better understand:

I really like what you've done with your creation, particularly the reflection in the middle and the smoothness of your ring, which are somewhat superior to the one created by Ballom

If you wish, I can add a reflection exactly like that one, since it is a simple, built-in Photoshop tool.

here's a basic idea of what the spinny will look like, im too lazy and tired to make it perfect and whatnot.

The concentric ringed version with the recommendations:

Matoran Talvak:

Now thats what im talking about, now that would be an exelent idea if there is another C.I.R.CL.E expansion

~Toa Zahaku~

Ballom ~ That would be cool, and can you clean up the pixelation of the lettering and borders as well?

--V-- ~ Excellent revision of the colors on the spinny. Would it be possible to slow the rate of spin down to about half that fast?

Talvak ~ Exactly as I envisioned it. Fantastic work my friend. As you can see here, I cleaned up the lettering a bit myself, and it's probably my favorite at this point.

I was able to fix the pixelation a great deal, and added the reflection as well.

Oh, and maybe a spinny should be made of my version as well.

~B~

Auser: sorry it took me so long to reply to this, but yes i can slow down the spinny to any time that you please, i can do just about any effect on it and customize it to just about, just send me whichever logo you wish to be altered (whether it be the single layered circle, or the multi layered.. just send it to me in a PM with a rough idea of what you want done to it and i'll get it done for you as soon as possible.
