Logos

[sovstar]

Here's where I'm going with our future in-game logos. Call it a rough draft as this is what I've come up with in my first sitting. I usually have to come back to project a number of times. Thoughts, suggestions? It's obviously a bit unbalanced as is, but that's something that'll be fixed (somehow). I get the helmets from a madden screenshot. One setback is that I get some of the background with the helmet. Cutting around it would be time consuming and an imperfect science.

Wow - looksgreat

amazing work

Did you "spherize" the logo after putting it on the helmet? The top right of the helmet looks dented. How big of a screen shot can you get? I could work on creating a vector art helmet for you using spot colors which you could then just adjust for each team. I believe you have Illustrator, which you used to make a phone a while back, right? Then you can have whatever background that you like.

The spherizing is done by Madden. That's just a square cut-out of a Madden screen - and it's as big of one as I can get. I can make it bigger, but then of course it starts to lose quality.

When you say vector art helmet, are you talking about something totally made from scratch? Have you got the skillz?

(prepares for the objects to be hurled) Have I never mentioned that I'm a graphic designer? ops:

Yeah, I can do a helmet no problem. I'll try to find a nice helmet image to copy.

I'm hurling stuff as we speak

[JesterBlaze]

Would a template of this angle work for you?



I like the "from slightly underneath" perspective in the Madden one you're using so I could just enlarge that image since it'd just be a guide anyway.

Input from fellow GMs if anyone has a preference?

The "straight from the side"-look is getting old, and even though I like the Madden-look, any "tilted" helmet would be cool in my eyes.

Important to be able to smack the logo on there though, so not too tilted obviously.

There's the problem. There were a couple of great "from in front" helmet images but no way to see the logos.

[JesterBlaze]

I'm also trying to come up with a way to make a "more aggressive" looking helmet, since this is just a graphic and safety/usability is not required. Though I haven't thought of anything yet.

What we need here, is a true 3D helmet, which we can skin any way we want, and then render at any angle we want...

Hmmm.. ;-)

Guess Madden is doing that already :P

For a static model, straight from the side is probably the most convenient; otherwise angling the logo would be messy.. sorry I got carried away wanting a tilted one :P

The logos all have to be spherized anyway. Tilting the helmet just means placing the 2D logo on a different part of the sphere - shouldn't be a problem. And please get carried away! Ask and you may receive.
