Art Design Contest 1: Cutstuff Logo
« on: September 14, 2010, 09:58:54 AM »
All right let's get some more medals out.

COULD BE YOURS!!1

Basically I've always wanted a logo for my site, Cutstuff. All the crap I've made starts with different intros, but I'd like to make a "company" standard one with a logo. Problem is, try as I might I can't make a good one. So I'm letting you guys have a shot at it! Here's my demands request details:

    Logo has to represent cutgoth in some shape or form, even if it's just his scissors (references here)
     Logo should not have any background. Transparent PNG recommended! (unless you use that weird logo filetype that I can't remember the name of)
     It can be any size, but should still be recognizable when shrunk down (just in case)

Here's a simple one I made earlier.



Even if you just take this and make it not suck, it would be acceptable. Don't forget, simplicity is always best but it can be as complex and colourful as you like!

Contest ends on the 27th of September. Naturally I'll be the judge, just because it's representin' mah home yo.

sounds like epic awesomeness
can we use any form of gvh (or any other cutstuff brand) in the logo along with your main cutstuff pic
or not? (just to give some of the stuff you made some respect, ya know? ;) )

One of the characters from GVH would be fine I guess, but I would stick to the ghouls or the hunter ;)

If I can find the time between classes, maybe I'll give it a try but College loves to eat time.

This is just the design you posted above cept made bigger and the scissors pointed outward. Can be used to make any kinda style logo, like this:

This one is just an attempt to get your name in the logo somehow. Looks pretty goofy, but might turn out ok with a more specific/stylized M.

I like the Cybertronian nature of the CutmanMike/PressStart logos.  MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!

PressStart has a nice logo right there.

But if simplicity is the case, here's a few. (Totally ripped from your craplogo!)



For the one that doesn't care for every bit of bandwidth, in exchange for a bit of quality - 14 kilobytes.
Otherwise, here's another one.



For the bandwidth caring one, 4 kilobytes.

(Best viewed in every theme BUT Royal Black.. Except for the less smooth one.. Heh..)

Gotta love Inkscape. :x

I'll try to come up with one.  Speaking of medals, when are we getting medals for staying through the whole stream?

I won't actually show you anything, but merely give a suggestion:
Cutgoth's scissors turned sideways forming a letter C next to a stylish letter S that has been cut in two with the two parts separated a little bit.  And then under that in much smaller text is the word "cutstuff.net"

I wonder if doing this is technically considered a "two-man entry"?

Uncolored for great justice! Also, for more customization.
