If I wasn't at work I'd be :ROFLMAO: but I fear for my job. See the "Unemployment Update" post.

#199213Post 54 of 234

if I could edit this picture I would...maybe someone can help me How about we use this squirrel [img]http://www.fissure.org/humour/pics/squirrel.jpg[/img] and put two mercury server logos in place of his balls. Then we can put underneath it "We've got your version 2 right here." :lol: j/k of course... it would be funny though!

Wheres Palmer hiding? He usually has some good designs.

[quote=neoee]Wheres Palmer hiding? He usually has some good designs.[/quote]

he's the best i've seen to date with this kind of stuff.

some of his designs are mind blowing.

not to say squirrel's nuts aren't ...um...creative or something, but Palmer is on another level.

DAMN DAMN DAMN, can you remove the eagle, put a similar burning halo around the ball and put the backfround in grey ??

#199262Post 68 of 234

Otherwise lovely work asdf, but the last one has too many colours (IMO). It should be kept simple. We don't want a Doom 3 type logo, otherwise we'd be at Digweed's site. j/k :wink:

Strait up. very nice.

you too razvan on that last one with the 2 in the yellow ball. nice.

#199293Post 72 of 234

thank you :oops: finally a little apreciation :D

#199300Post 73 of 234

I've liked most all of them. I've just been a post whore on this thread. Figured I might as well make another. I would have to say the one with the black background is my fave. Followed closely by the one with the 2 in the ball.

#199303Post 74 of 234

Could you guys give me a description of what you would like to see in the [ms] logo :) ? Hope I can translate text to image.

#199310Post 75 of 234

hey duderz. you work is nice.

i dunno i given some examples. stinging little bees they are. :lol:

they want "mercuryserver 2" in some nice font. and something a little more ... perhaps a flare or some small simple graphic. they want it easy and simple. that is all i know. :wink:

#199311Post 76 of 234

critique

ok I'll critique it honestly.....

[b]Same as the first one[/b]

[b]Something out of a HIP HOP Magazine[/b]

[img]http://www.liis.ro/~wolx1/avatar/v3.png[/img]

[b]This one is the best of them all but it didn't hit me for 2 reasons,[/b] :arrow: FONT :arrow: the size and position of the 2 is bery IN YOUR FACE. I dont think that mercuryserver No.2 is what we're trying to push. I could give you suggestions to a pre-existing sample. Can you come up with something creative ?? Like a wire-graph turntable or convert the MS BALL into a wire-graph. Maybe add some effects to it. This like simply putting the number 2 and the text underneath.

#199337Post 77 of 234

ok, here is some inspiration. I am at work, and I don't use photoshop anymore, but I want to do my part. I have some good ideas, please use them freely. I am assuming the current logo is some sort of picture of a mercury atom under an electron microscope or something. So I went with that idea of mercury.

here is a picture of what might be the planet mercury that is cool:

[img]http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/javagif/gifs_small/20030320_0700_eit_171.gif[/img]

this website: [url]http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/realtime-171-512-all.html[/url] has a ton of awesome images like this one.

next, here is a cool picture of mercury from a GIS on mercury

[img]http://www.hypercomplex.org/fractals/double.jpg[/img]

which I got from here:

#199346Post 78 of 234

I'd go with asdf's black background and font with razvan's mr yellow (with a two engraved) in the middle, behind the name.

#199350Post 79 of 234

if you want to keep it simple [img]http://www.liis.ro/~wolx1/avatar/turntable.jpg[/img]

else let me know ... and I'll get crazy and add effects and stroke fonts ( not my style but not a problem )

another font variation:

#199372Post 80 of 234

I like the new logo :)

razvan: I would love to use that to put on a t-shirt :) Better yet, MS should sell t-shirts with the logo on it :)
