Logo Development Talk

[Ken Smith]

It's been busy here for us but Mike did manage to create this for maybe the new upper left corner Logo instead of the V- Bulletin.



You like? It's not done yet but he did this 100% on his own one night.

Still a little sketchy, I know, hopefully I can find some time to take some better pictures, ones where I don't have to worry much about cropping out a background, and also gotta brush up my skills on making some nicer looking curves

[Bob Faulkner]

want me to take a crack at making one? I'm pretty good with the GIMP.

Here are 2 I just whipped up in about 15 minutes before going to bed.

Note that the background wood can be changed. I would rather have a nice blank plank of ebony for it. Also, thinking about terminating each side with a Smith brass nut, or I can taper it into the page's background. Whatever ya like.

I took the lettering from Mike's logo, and from pictures I had, the Smith insignia off my bass, and the quilt from my bass.


1st is a simple bump map:


2nd is the same bump mapped quilt over a morado background I pulled from Ken's site:


Let me know if you have any suggestions, or a nice picture of a blank ebony plank. If you want to use one I'll assign any copyrights to Ken. I really can't do anything else with them anyway as Ken owns the copyright on the morado image and trademark on the S inlay

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..
