Logo Development Talk

Much nicer.. This really screams wood!

I like the logo too.. It actually reminds me of the top of an old cabinet or something.. Fits nicely.

Great stuff Ken, I think the forum truly looks superb!!
I run an Overwater basses forum, although I have recently not bothered with it as much as Overwater is a small company, and I have been cramming in revision for my GCSE exams. I did a logo on photoshop a while back, but it could with perfecting. I haven't bothered as of yet though. It never really took off as well as this forum has done, plus I didnt pay for it... Adverts

Anyways, keep up the good work guys. Very impressive!!

Great, I was expecting the harshness and was surprised by the warmness and the calm feel on the eyes. Much better!

Thanks a lot! Yea, the logo was pretty much the only thing I did in photoshop. Nothing too fancy, used PS's pen tool to create the curves and then created a shape which I duplicated and flipped vertically. Then I laid a background on that, and then cut up and cropped up some pictures to add there to give it that Smith look and finally I added the text.

If you were wondering about the fonts, found them over at dafont.com which is a site which hosts thousands of fonts for use in anything such as photoshop, web design, or whatever you may need them for. The other stuff, such as the category strips or the table headers, I took straight from the KSB wood pages' backgrounds and rotated them and/or scaled them to the size I wanted.

I'm glad you guys are liking the new skin

Looks nice Mike. Thx!

Mike,

Nice look. I was away for a couple of weeks and logged in this morning. A bit of a shock on my sleep deprived brain, but I like it much better than the default. I wonder what else I missed?
