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

ShadowKyogre · 2009-04-22 02:18:50

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

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

i like the "original" red one more

ShadowKyogre · 2009-04-22 02:30:24

Ah, okay. I wonder what the others think

ShadowKyogre · 2009-04-22 04:43:38

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*

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

it looks like "the dark side of arch".
nice though!

ShadowKyogre · 2009-04-22 12:49:05

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

@xalviax: Okay ^^

@DonVla: Precisely what I was going for!

hatten · 2009-04-22 13:08:57

2nd's the best

Wra!th · 2009-04-22 13:13:52

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

We could always change the name to GS Linux...sounds pretty badass

evilgold · 2009-04-22 14:39:18

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.

Netsu · 2009-04-22 15:40:12

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

ShadowKyogre · 2009-04-22 15:48:30

@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? 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.

Scarlet letter distro.

dr/owned · 2009-04-22 17:12:26

GS Linux - Glass Spikes Linux or Godly Simple Linux

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.

ShadowKyogre · 2009-04-22 19:34:47

@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 ) or violet on dark violet (more visible). Should I post screencaps of how each color scheme looks too?

@buttons: I knows

dr/owned · 2009-04-22 23:09:38

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)

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?

dr/owned · 2009-04-22 23:16:20

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

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

@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

Bluerate them!

ShadowKyogre · 2009-04-23 00:40:05

@Lexion: :? I also added a blueviolet variant of the color scheme.

ShadowKyogre · 2009-04-23 15:36:55

If anyone has better spinoff ideas for the Arch Linux logo, please tell me ^^

hatten · 2009-04-23 18:03:42

Arch Linux
