Logo Development Talk

Ah, let's not forget about my favorite personal Bass, ok?..

This is the Smith Logo;



Your image is just the Pearl inlay but close..

[Richard Prowse]

Is someone being just a little pedantic here?


Hey, nice work Bob and thanks.
Well, someone needed to say it!

[Bob Faulkner]

I was going for the inlay since the background is wood. I thought it would be an interesting idea. I can take the logo you provided and use it to bump map the quilt or background wood. If you would like to get the DB into it a good straight on picture of the unstrung fingerboard and headstock, and another with it strung would be nice. I was trying to focus more on the electric since I'm assuming that's the larger part of your business.

Another interesting idea would be to use a picture of a block of the pearl inlay material to map the writing. It would provide much better contrast. Like I said I made those in about 15 minutes(between rocking my 1yo daughter to sleep and crawling into bed). I'll add some more sparkle when I get more time to work on them.

Is there a link to this forum from the sale/factory website? I had a quick look this morning and couldn't find anything.


BTW guys, you can make the forum logo as long or as short you like so long as the background of the logo is the same as the background of the banner. The background of the banner should take up any slack width between the end of the banner and the edge of the browser window.

For instance if you had a background that was black, you could use a logo with this kind of layout:



Real simple and the photography says warm, organic, smooth and sexy.

Right under the Flag at the top of the home page. One day, we will hae links on other pages as well. Most people come over here from that link. Or, are you referring to something else?

Not at all. I just need my eyesight tested.

Ken, I was going to stay out of this one, however, something along the line of what Steve has provided here (utilizing photography) was what I was going to suggest. Instead of trying to "photo-shop" your way towards a finished forum banner, why not have Mike piece together exactly what you want, take a photo shot of it, adjust size, resolution, etc., and use that?

[Bob Faulkner]

I'll work on a more detailed one this weekend. I have an idea on how to incorporate both the electric and DB into the banner.

Mike, what is the limit on vertical resolution for the banner? I've been using 81 pixels as that is what your banner is. the vbulletin banner is 85 though.
