Could someone design a new Source Code Project logo for the Directory (and possibly other places, such as the website).

The current logo for CtP2 Directory files looks like this:



But feel free to use your imagination -- there are no specs whatsoever, though it would be nice it it was easily resizable (possibly in different forms) to make it more multi-functional.

How different must this new pic be ( i have the idea that just scribbling "source code" underneath is out)

I don't really care, just a new logo. It'd be nice to have a completely new logo, but I doubt anyone would want to go through the trouble of designing one. Scribbling is fine for me.

BigMc, i like it but it should contain "source" perhaps, and the "II" is not clear enough over the wheel.

I could put the "II" in gold

Here's something thrown on top of a screen found in downloads. Not sure who did the original artwork.

Thats rather impressive, can we see versions with a different colour behind "source code"? maybe blue or red. Perhaps adding "project" on the same line too? Also making the "source code" text ever so slightly bigger, so its more easily readable resized down. Although as i said, it looks good as it is, to me.

Maquiladora, you must be a client of mine posting here.

I also noticed this has problems sizing down. Probably best to have two versions, small and large. First I'll check and see if one size can fit all. Adding the word "Project" makes sense.

I'll take a look at blue instead of gold for a background color. Not sure it will work but it's easy enough to check. As for red I'll pass, with no other red in the graphic it probably wouldn't work. I like the gold.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll try to get to the adjustements later in the day.

	Suffering from ads?

The only problem I can see is that the "source code" is to small when the image is reduced in size.

It’s good to see another artist around here anyway (I only do graphics for pleasure so I am not to good)

Second attempt at uploading. First try didn't take the file.

Also not working.

Guess I was lucky with the original post. Anyone have suggestions? The attach a file feature doesn't seem to be working.

Nice one

First large version

edit: sorry slightly worse quality when i saved from attachment

edit1: hmm the quality isnt the same as the one in the attachment preview... either way, i think it probably wouldnt attach because the files were named, wallpaper1_640x480.3.jpg and wallpaper1_160x120.both.jpg take out the dots before jpg extension and it might attach.

Cool, thanks for the assist.

The small versions uses solid black type for "source code project" to help with readability. Even "Call To Power" breaks up somewhat at that resolution.

If one of these gets chosen I'll forward a max saved jpg to whoever needs it. BTW I have the blue one in hires also, but personally I still lean to the gold.

2D art is where my skill lies, so I can't offer unit or terrain art help. But I'm happy to help with this type of graphic when there's a chance.

I absolutely love it Great stuff, OnePresent

I prefer the gold one as well, though if you already made the artwork anyway, there's no harm in keeping both versions, so we can vary a bit when sensible.

If you send the file(s) to me, I'll put them online on Apolyton so they are available to whoever needs them.

Due to some technical issues I can't update the website at the moment, but I'll update the Directory first chance I get

Well, we're rather short on artists so any help you could give would be most appreciated

The logos you posted here are excellent for the development work, but once we get around to releasing final products, it would probably be nice to have a logo for that as well. We haven't really settled on a name yet, but it will probably be called something along the lines of 'Call to Power II: Apolyton Edition'. If you feel like it, it would be great if you could if you could look into a new logo to match (similar to this or completely different, whatever you prefer) once we've decided on the name.

Also, I think (particularly in the long run) we're going to need to make some changes in the user interface of the game itself, we'll need an artist or two to assist there as well. If you feel up to it, your help would be invaluable there as well, once we get around to it.

I post a similar thread some months ago, no response. Locutus post it again and look at the participation here
Good for bringing this up Loc

Note that using part of the original artwork could be subject to copyright issues though Activision would probably had no problem at all.

Keep this thread open for the entire month so that other people have the chance to make a logo, including me. Though my participation to the project have been rather limited during the past three months (work, work and work) I expect to have more time within April.
