Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

Does anyone remember the ArchSE thread I made? Well...I decided to rethink the logo...I think I did worse on the shading.
New: 3

Original: 4

Which looks better to you?

The black one looks like Wolverine scratched it wink

The red one is a little too bright for my tastes, especially in the middle.

Re: Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

Made two versions of a wallpaper I made for us Arch Linux users: http://shadowkyogre.deviantart.com/art/ … -120079681

There are two versions because of the logo differences. Besides that, how is it? *the individual files are in a tar.gz on the dA page*

Re: Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

I'm a bit perturbed by the fact that the A is upside down hehe but I like the creativity.

Just nitpicking:

some texturing would be good...to avoid that plastic feel of solid colors.
softening up the lines and edges a bit might tone down how agressive the logo is.  Not to say that arch user wouldn't go kick the @#*$ out of Ubuntu users big_smile

Re: Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

@dr/owned: I can't seem to think of other symbols of evil that don't involve turning the A upside down tongue Anyway, I could make the logos appear as if they were on metal.

@xalviax: Okay ^^

@DonVla: Precisely what I was going for! big_smile

Not bad but this is not an "A" anymore...
Afterall...the distro is not "Glassy Spikes Linux"...it's "A"rchlinux

Re: Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

Nice work

I like the new one best. The old one is kind of missing a shadow or something. the 'A' part of the logo is much more visible in the new one, I think because you have a clear indication of depth on it.

The new black one looks just like an inverted arrow, I like the older one better.

Re: Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

@evilgold: Thank you. I was intending the old logo to look something like a pentagram, while the newer one was meant to be a combination between a dragon's head and the Arch Linux logo.

@Netsu: Ah, okay. I suppose there was more originality to the original from your point of view. Am I right?

@dr/owned: What would GS stand for? tongue I've been also thinking of changing the color scheme to black and violet after I saw your post about the least used colors for Linux distros and your wallpaper for Arch Linux.

Re: Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

GS Linux - Glass Spikes Linux or Godly Simple Linux wink

Be careful though if you want to mix purple in.  I've found just color experimenting that purple and black really clash quite a bit for some reason.  If you mix in a bit of white with the purple (but don't make it pink or magenta) and use gray for accents it seems to make purple more  palatable.

Re: Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

@dr/owned: Ah, okay. I will keep that in mind. I also have two color schemes ready for people to use. One involves red on dark red in the text box (for stealthy users like me tongue) or violet on dark violet (more visible). Should I post screencaps of how each color scheme looks too?

Re: Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

Here's a shade of purple which I believe would work well on the 1st one:  (sorry about there being no white background...it was being weird)

Image2.jpg

The red outline around it was a bit of an accident but I think it makes it look even better.

And just for kicks, could you rotate it 180 degrees and shift the upper A down about halfway?

Re: Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

Hum, now you have me intrigued cause I see the possibilities of this being merged with my logo in the other thread.  180 degree rotation, and replace the big A with my yellow one, keep the colored scratches then keep the dark top arrow...hmm let me see if I can mock it up using copy and paste smile

No no no its horrible, the scratches look like hanging bananas yikes

Re: Out of boredom, I did another spin on the Arch Logo

@dr/owned post 1: That is definitely the shade of purple I was thinking! 8D
@dr/owned post 2: Yay! ...does it really look like hanging bananas?

Also got the color schemes up: http://shadowkyogre.deviantart.com/art/ … -120162697
