As you may know, Teamliquid is participating in Blizzard's Sandlot tournament. Obviously, we are going to win, but we will need a logo that represents us.
You can post and discuss your submissions here.
We will be accepting submissions until 09/11/06, two weeks from now. Feel free to create as many versions as you wish or update your existing submissions, but please don't spam like 50 pictures. Also, you may need to change them (even after the deadline) if Blizzard announces any specifications.
The winner (decided by vote) will have his or her art featured on the TL.net frontpage and will also receive a custom user icon, like Rekrul's reaper or Nazgul's helmet.
Good luck!
edit: I have updated the three I found in JellyCat's thread, feel free to post your own submissions now.

Added last night on the other post:
Hmm, can we stick to the "Please post ONLY submissions in this thread." ? It's great to have feedback, new ideas and improvements but will be kinda hard to follow if it's in 2 different threads. Plus, I suppose Hot_Bid wanted this thread to be minimalistic to help the review and vote.
Thanks guys~

Here is an update on the rules that I just recieved from Blizzard:
Hello, to determine the choosing order in the draft, each community site will create a team name and logo. This is completely optional though. If your site does not wish to do this, then we will use a default logo and team name. Please use the guidelines below when creating your logos. If you have any question at all about this, please let me know.
Image must be in JPG or GIF format
Image must be 100x100 to 150x150 pixels
Image cannot contain any rude language or questionable material
Image must be newly created for this tournament
Image must not contain any copyrighted materials
Blizzard images are Ok
Image must not contain any advertising materials

editors note, that size is awfully small. It would be nice to get it somewhat larger, but I guess we are constrained a bit.

A little contribution
Better then not submit nothing , i think .
Modified at SiRo and Fen sugestions

what if you made the horse/water from the 2nd one the background of the 4th one? that seems like it might be pretty good.

I liked chraej third one, and jellybelly one with the donkey could be better if it was a horse tho

Belgium6733 Posts
The logo is still supposed to represent your site, not starcraft, which is why a logical idea is using the horses.
|
@Diablo666
Horses should be included so we're not just any generic starcraft site. Each community participating should have something that they can identify with. We have horses. Doesn't have to represent sc in the logo I think.

I'm not all that big on the upgrade icons being the symbols of each race personally. There's to be to be better options.
The globe would look better if it looked more like this http://www.exchange3d.com/test_albums/albun92/aaa.jpg (smaller of course)
And, lastly, I think the mirror horses looks kinda odd. It might be better to have a horse in the middle behind the globe facing forwards instead of going sideways.
These are only meant to be suggestions, the logo looks pretty good as is.

Agree, but maybe put a 1 pixel gradient stoke around the liquid, blue (top) to white so it stands out a little more. Would have to see how it looks but could be an idea.
Edit: chraej: Why not a solid black background?

Why not a white one?.
Works either way, we are more bluish/whiteish than blackish rofl.

Imo, Chraej's latest submition is pretty pimp.

Play on the NBA logo.. not sure how that will fare with the international audience, though.
|
Just whipped up one quick, using that image of the world.
|
Both chraej's and siro's look very good and promising.
I think the horse needs to be more inside of the globe though, and it would probably look better with a white one.

Just few suggestions: 1) imho unicorn > horse (but if the horse is The-Ultimate-TeamLiquid-Symbol then let's leave it alone) 2) Do you remember those Elrond's magic horses from LotR? They were "horses" and they were "liquid". What do you think about taking a screenshot from LotR movie and then applying some kick-ass TL banner?
EDIT: They were actually Gandalf's horses since it was he who shaped the water that way but oh - that's not the matter here, is it?

One of the rule of the contest is : No copyrighted materials Or LOTR images ,characters and bla bla bla are properties of Saul Zaentz company /Tolkien enterprise under licence to New Line productions.inc .
And one more thing (sound like an Apple slogan , lol) I dont think the logo have to be the work of a single person. I myself i'm not so skilled in photoshop but my friends belives that my works have at least good taste. So i will not be bother if someone more skilled will make the changes to the logo i'v done. i didnt do it for a name on the frontpage or a special icon .I do it because every oportunity to use photoshop for something useful it,s a good thing for me. So i will say again If someone think that the logo will have a shoot with a little modifications then go ahead and do it.If the logo wins , he can keep the special icon along with the credits . I have absolutly no problem with that.

just my opinion agreed
P.S. Can we get some links to the other site's progress so far? (fighterforum will be tough)
|
1. is that wireframe globe usable? (its also very large) 2. the horse is a perfect symbol, anyone who has been to the sight understands the reference (hopefully) and also the logo is supposed to be a symbol of the site, horses are a symbol of this site
|
not necessarily, someone who posts here (forgot who) said he didnt get the horse reference until he looked around the site and saw it. and most people didnt know what the horses meant until someone explained it in that thread.
|
hmm, so do you think it is a bad choice of symbol?
|
I noticed there where horses at the top after like a year of visiting the site. Someone who have just checked around on the site will have a hard time knowing why the fuck there are horses on a starcraft logo i think.

I'm not going to complain about the "wrong thread" stuff as long as people are working on it (still I'm saying it : discussion were aimed in the other thread :'( )
About the "what have others done" I've provided links in other thread as well and some korean fellow said he didn't find anything on any korean site about the logo (neither FF.com nor PGR21)
Anyway, back to work people !

I've got one question to you guys
Should the logo look serious or not - like for example Xeo's one look pretty serious whereas the "donkey" one look pretty ...well... not serious (and it was aimed to be a horse ha ! ) -
I'm only talking from a graphical point of view. If it looks cartoonish or childish would you guys consider it ?

imo, the logo needs to be a combination of blue like the site, because this color scheme is clearly associated with TL.net

I like DeathBlow's for its simplicity. The color scheme matches our site and the horse individualizes teamliquid.

I think that one is the best, is it possible to leave it so the white is transparent or wont they allow that?
Also it might help to put a little black border around the letters in liquid so they are easier to read.

Heres mine after 124135245 hours in MS paint. Its full of jpg artifacts from paints compression, I might be able to tidy that up tomorrow when I have access to a real image editor.
I couldn't find blizzards offical rules on the logo, so I've tried to fit it to the size that was in the rules on gg.net's thread (150x150pixels). Anyone know if there are any actual blizzard rules on the size of the logo?

First of all, just want to say I like JellyCat's latest submission with the crayon-ish horse and the flag scarf. I like the originality, and it really does look very good.
That said, I was wondering if it wasn't too late for someone to try an idea out. I was thinking that it might be cool to take a medieval route and make our icon like the shield standards of the past. Admittedly, this is SC and not WC, but the idea of a battle standard works pretty well in the context of a tournament since it's what knights used to identify themselves in their tournaments. If I remember correctly, Warhammer 40k units have standards and whatnot for their soldiers, so maybe some inspiration may be drawn from there.
I realize that there's little time left, but I was hoping that someone could maybe squeeze something out just as another option to consider.

possible revisions: colour - it looks great in black and white death - this isn't so clear, maybe alter the angle so you can see the masked or skeletal face water - a good platform (obviously would be cropped) but perhaps can be better, waves/splashes rather than a plain circle (or leave it as it is with reflection etc but have more prominent waves coming up the sides. incorporate the text into the waves more? ) lettering - i like the way they are bold enough to be part of the overall image. can think of a way to improve their general appearance? i dunno
really the only major improvement i see is making the rider more visible, his face/head. currently its just like a blob , to those unware
It also needs to still work at the designated size
