Icon

[Gez]

Hey, noticed you were still using the same icon for this as RS1.5

Just a rough up version of something with the title in! It's the same size pixelwise as the 1.5 logo (99x99) and quite plain other than the bevel and contour but at least it says what it is lol

It's in PNG format, if you want anything different like the orig photoshop file to edit it, let me know.



Tried to edit it to the ico format but for some reason, wouldn't let me.

Great idea. Thanks.

How about if you make the background slightly lighter (red) and add a rounded 3D shape through lighting to the suface rather like the faction icons?

[Gez]

Well, I've made it red, but I've no idea how to do the 3D tool yet. I'm new to CS4 atm. If you want to do that I dont mind at all. Or you could explain to me? up to you mate.

Fetch me the .psd and I can help you. Or I can do it from scratch on my own, if it's needed, because I already have the .psd logo from Tone.

Your call

[Gez]

The PSD is attatched.

I potched with it...came with this.




Could have made it alot betterm but the magic wand tool wasn't selecting the right bits. It would always delete the letters outline, which made it looks stupid.

[Caius Antonius]

Which ever fits now. I think the first one looks better...

[Gez]

1st one is great!

How did you manage to get the text to stand out so much? I could never just get the text you see...or did you use the orig?

[tone]

Yeah, I prefer the top one too, though you could do with shifting the writing just a little to the right so that the "II" is centred, unless it's the knobs on the rim that aren't quite right.

It also feels like it could do with moving up slightly too.

@Gez,
He's probably used a tiny bit of drop shadow

[Gez]

I think the rim is slightly offset tone.

No, I meant how did he actually single out the text from everything else. I had to kinda crop out the background that I took the logo from (I think it was the loading screen). But yeah I guess he did use the orig text.

Anyhow, at leas thats one other thing sorted

[Caius Antonius]

Trimmed the ugly, jagged edges of that rim and centered it as best as I could, using the ruler and guide lines. I'll provide the properly resized version as well, I just need the sizes.

[Gez]

That's fantastic

I checked, the size they used was 99x99 pixels mate.

*high five*

[pacco]

Maybe its better to put only RS II, not whole name. Its too small to read when its 99x99.

[tone]

Gez,
He used the text that I provided in the .psd file in the signature thread I should think. The text there is in a seperate layer.


@Gaius - looks fantastic - how does it look shrunk down to size? Pacco may be right about just needing RSII?

[Caius Antonius]

Like this? It kinda looks weird

[Ibram]

Or you could try seperating them, have RS and then II below it instead one on top of the other.

[Caius Antonius]

Yeah, thought about that. Looks definitely better.

[Ketchup]

Hmm, I still prefer the original text... (+rep)

How does that look at 99x99? Could you upload a pic?

[Gez]

That last pic is 99x99

[tone]

This is better than RSII



It does look pretty small on the desktop as it shrinks below the 99x99 pixels of the original icon. I like it though

I think so too.
