Soup Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Its not the final version, but since I don't have a rack of time to work on it, I wanted some feedback, either to drop it and start with another one or contiune and finish it off. TK can we step out of the box with the logo a bit or does it need to be similar to the current logo. could you give us a list of what we can and can't do just for a point of reference.

Mark The Homer Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 That is awesome, Soup. Not sure if I'm crazy about the font, but the effect is dynamite. Whether it's appropriate or not, I'm not sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftCoast Skinz FAN Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Nicely done SOUP. I never thought to put animation on it. I'm not a huge fan of using flash, very time consuming. Great work though. Maybe if you used my background on it, that might seal the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you used my background on it, that might seal the deal. I agree that this is great work and I do like it, just not as a banner for ExtremeSkins. It's too distracting. Well, to be honest, for me, more than a few minutes of flash would turn annoying. I hate to be a downer since it's much better than anything that I could create. Maybe the board could decide in a poll with the best designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can see what you're talking about with the flash. I wish I had one day off to just throw out 4 or 5 different designs, I would be cool to have a design of mine as the ES banner especially since so many people come by.

WhoRUSupposed2Be Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 It looks good champ. The flash is a bit overkill but makes for a nice change-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 You know to tell you the truth, I'm already getting annoyed with the flash Soup, animated logo's/banners/images on web pages get tired after a day. It's cool when you first see it, but nobody wants to watch it after a day. My thing for this whole thread is too much of the same. If you are called in front of the CEO of IBM to make a banner, do you drop something which looks 85% like what they already have, or do you drop something that makes them go wow. Your banner is nice, but it's much of the same. Come out of the box and wow us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoRUSupposed2Be Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 We can never find the right text to appease anyone champ. It was worth a try in using different fonts that weren't so standardized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 We can never find the right text to appease anyone champ. It was worth a try in using different fonts that weren't so standardized. Don't worry about it man, that's usually the issue with all graphic design; the damn text. What you have to do is focus on the logo and text first, the background and helmet are the easy parts, that will fall into place. Its the logo/text and coming up with a great design which will be hard. Seriously though I'm loving this I really hope someone on this board comes up with something great. This would be huge in a porfolio. Don't quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die.hard.skins.fan Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I think that is the best one yet Soup. It is classy and stylish and the same time. It has a look of richness to it, but I can't help feeling that it is unbalanced to the right. Maybe a picture of ST to the left of something, the same way you did the helmet. Otherwise I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 [FL=http://aj3380.webs.com/logoES.swf] width = 1000 height = 148 [/FL] I don't find it horribly distracting. If I had to stare at it 24/7, yeah. But really we just look at it for a few moments. Also, one of the very early headers had flames as shown on page 1. Was that distracting? Would it be better if the feather and the X were in FRONT of the other letters? I wonder how it would look with the pythagoris font being used in SKINS. It would kinda show respect for the past. I wonder how it would look with the beam moving only on EXTREME. Or only on the X. I think I'd prefer a blurred top which sort of blended into the black, rather than a crisp burgundy edge at the top. Also, as TK has mentioned earlier, some kind of reference to the Redskins has to be in there somewhere. Either a helmet or logo or something, because that's the easy link to redskins.com. I still like PG's background. TK - I'm wondering if the width could be increased? It's been this wide for five years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 ^^ I can do that mark, but what I'd like to know is if you guys are going for a similar look to the current banner or do you guys what a completely different design? I'm confused. I like the flash banner just because it still has that ES feel just a bit updated. that one is just a draft I didn't finish up. But I would like to know if you guys want an out of the box design or do you guys want the banner to be similar to the past ES banners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 We haven't really discussed what we want. I think we just want the best looking banner possible within the dimensions TK outlined earlier, with some obvious reference to the Redskins included. Of course, that's me talking - that and a dime won't even get you a phone call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 I haven't been able to check out the flash stuff yet as it doesn't work with BlackBerry. But I'm dying to see what you came up with up with Soup. Out of the box is good. Do whatever. I'm trying not to be much of an influence as far as direction goes right now. I want to see what you guys come up with. If you want to push the envelope then shove the envelope outta the way. Raise the bar. I've got my own ideas but I'm holding them back right now.
