Tamriel Rebuilt Header Logo Contest
Come and Be Artsy. We're looking to update the "Tamriel Rebuilt" PNG file currently used at the top of every TR page you see (the slightly bubbly, gold font. AKA Magic Cards). The logo should flow nicely with the colors/scheme we have now.
Use the folder uploaded, as well as the fonts in this image, for examples and inspiration:
NOTE - This is just an example splash page for you to draw inspiration from, because it has nice, professional graphics, etc.

Sure, except, if you can make it fit the colors while still being independent (aka while still being able to fit other colorschemes), that would be best.

Initially, this:

It must say Tamriel Rebuilt.

Here is something I whipped up quickly:
[img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y286/Relinquished_kaos/logo_top.png[/img]
I think It might look a bit sterile, so Im going to try something else
anyway it looks like this on the forum:
[img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y286/Relinquished_kaos/Screenshot.jpg[/img]
Oh btw, I wasnt sure exactaly if it was a whole picture or just text so I just assumed it was text.

That's exactly the same, only darker. I assume the purpose of a logo redesign is to redesign the logo, not simply make the existing one a different color. If that were the goal, someone probably would have done it already.

Well, anyone can plainly see it's not the font used by the title, merely in the supertitle. ("The Elder Scrolls" is written in that font, but neither "Morrowind" nor "Oblivion" are.) So the stylistic consistency argument actually goes against using it for "Tamriel Rebuilt".Adanorcil wrote:Disclaimer: Any arguments based around the idea that it is the font Morrowind uses and therefore TR uses it too, are bunk.

This is a really really long shot... but I was screwing around and it looked cool. I'm not done.

The second one reminds me of Tribal Wars a bit too much.
EDIT - I should also specify, "Tamriel Rebuilt" should really be the only thing; no swords or shields or iconic art.

i woudnt mind a little shadow, but i think the dark outline clashes with the look of the forums, since its much darker than everything else.
edit:
just messing around. could use a lot of improvement.

Personally Im not overly-fond of the yellow colour, yellow seems sort of like, "meh..." to me. Thats why I left my first example black, black just stands out better with the current background.
But, I think the font used on example 3 of 4, and 4 of 4 could possibly work though.
I'm going to try make another header up by about... hmm.. friday at the earliest.

i'm not a huge fan of the gold either, but all the colors i tried looked sort of cheezy or plain wrong with the tan background (i did like a deep red and a really dark purple, but none of those colors are found in the forum). fault of the board color scheme, since its all just variations of yellows and browns. a total black completely stands out too much imo, and looks unnatural.

The TR infused together could be fine, depending on how it's worked into the header.
I like the font in the second image N posted, and think it would be better if it were less... so, if you will. Like, if it had the effects on it that it does now, only less of those effects. Perhaps if it were flatter on the bottom, I guess. Maybe a little more script-like instead of pointy/blocky.

Are we eventually going to revamp the website altogtether? If so why not just change the ENTIRE header (including background)?
I really think we should keep the font though. Or move along with the ones on the Morrowind logo. I know it pisses on the side of creativity, but it keeps along with our vision.

That's the actual size of the image that is used. It's placed twice, side by side, in case you couldn't tell. The corners are different images.

i do like the idea, but it seems too hand drawn and sketchy to me. what i would do is find a font that we like and set a couple of effects on it (a inner upward bevel, at the least). then convert (rastisize? restive? don't have PS on me) Haplo Edit: Rasterize it into an image layer instead of a type one, so that the lines can be sketched in after the font looks nice and professional. that way all the letters are of the same height, width, and general appearance but are a little rough around the edges.
I'm going to assume that your image is just a sketch, but give this a critique none the less: currently it looks very "I tried to make it look sketchy in Photoshop" because the lines are very clean and uniform. if you have a tablet I'd set the size to depend on pressure (automatic, AFAIK) and try drawing a strait line by clicking clicking a point, holding shift, and clicking again. this will make the line fade out towards the end (since you're not applying pressure) and it will look a bit more real. maybe go with an organic or texture brush at a really small size or something too.
my second worry is that its too much like Morrowind.
btw, while were here, safari leaves two annoying pixels of transparent space between images, which makes our header look even worse.

A nice gold header will look good with any color scheme.Are we eventually going to revamp the website altogether? If so why not just change the ENTIRE header (including background)?
