Design a new TFP logo! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Halx · 06-05-2004, 05:37 PM

Hey all you talented people! Wanna make a TFP logo? I knew you did!

The logo may be used for website graphics, merchandise and other stuff, so while you will get credit for it, it would act as a sort of donation to the TFP. If i ever get it printed on stuff that I order in bulk, then you'll get a free one (ie: shirts). That's about all I can offer in exchange.

Guidelines:
Please no more than 4 colors
The original must either be in vector graphics (flash, illustrator) or rasterized to print about 8x8" at 300dpi.

Thanks.. look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Nancy · 06-06-2004, 11:38 AM

A new one? But I really like the one that's in use now

gallopingwanker · 06-07-2004, 08:39 AM

i did these in a half hour, so they aren't that creative, but im just trying to get things moving....

Redlemon · 06-07-2004, 01:20 PM

So, Hal, what don't you like about the current logo? This would probably help people focus their efforts.

Halx · 06-08-2004, 12:40 AM

there is nothing wrong with the current logo. It's creator is no longer with us, so I felt it would be best to have something that represents our current population.

wanker, thanks for your starting efforts. That style of design can be effective, but it's gotta have a little more symbolism. If you could mix some innuendo into the shapes and text, it could be interesting.

like what?

This forum is about a lot of things so I'm not quite sure I could pick out a specific one at the moment. I really like the angelic/devilish look at the current one - like dualism. Is there something particular symbolism you'd like the new logo to include?

Halx · 06-08-2004, 09:37 AM

I had this idea last night...

(tadpole) + TFP = (frog)

sadistikdreams · 06-09-2004, 06:04 PM

I'll whiip something up...

Halx · 06-10-2004, 12:53 AM

here's an attempt - rather eye-catching, exploits 'evolution'

Halx · 06-10-2004, 01:05 AM

minimalist shirt design .. top = front. bottom = back

Stare At The Sun · 06-10-2004, 01:05 AM

^ I like them both. I suck with art, otherwise, i'd contribute more than my nod of approval.

jwoody · 06-10-2004, 05:26 AM

Stare at the Sun provided the inspiration for this effort.

animosity · 06-10-2004, 06:57 AM

here is something that came to mind when i read this...

Halx · 06-10-2004, 11:16 AM

AWESOME!

emmdubbs · 06-10-2004, 11:31 AM

here's one

emmdubbs · 06-10-2004, 11:31 AM

here's the other

Lewis · 06-10-2004, 11:40 AM

Hey Hal, be a good client, please! There's loads of people out here that would like to help, but we need a few reasons, some logic, a structure to work to. Yes? What's changed apart from your original designer leaving, where is the world going for you now?

TFP is wonderful, and I'd like to have a chance to work something out properly for you.

emmdubbs · 06-10-2004, 11:42 AM

and yet another

Halx · 06-10-2004, 11:47 AM

I can't really define the TFP except for the key words that are in the tagline: The Evolution of Humanity, Sexuality and Philosophy.

Every person has their own interpretation of what the TFP means to them, so go off of that.

Hanxter · 06-10-2004, 11:56 AM

i like tekno's - hope you don't mind but i like black...

emmdubbs · 06-10-2004, 11:57 AM

whatever works.
i like it b/c it implies "growth" wich is somethign this forum is all about.

animosity · 06-10-2004, 02:21 PM

im not sure where im going with this... but i wanted the T to tilt... but have a reason for tilting.

"titling project"

Halx · 06-10-2004, 02:44 PM

just a reminder.. please make sure that you all have originals that are either in vectors or 8-inches of 300dpi

Munku · 06-10-2004, 06:52 PM

Anyone have the original logo I can look at?

bernadette · 06-10-2004, 08:57 PM

is this it, yes?

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/images/...rm/biglogo.gif

i haven't had time to <i>attempt trying</i> to make a TFP logo.
i am not a professional designer, just a little dabbler, so it's probably too big a task for me.

i'm stuck at trying to just put a grasp on exactly what TFP is... what statement this logo needs to convey...

that's the first step of logo design:
defining a clear definitive message to be presented in the form of simple concise graphic communication.

TFP is so much & so many different things to so many different people.
perhaps that is food for fodder though?

ngdawg · 06-10-2004, 10:01 PM

A quick idea...

Nancy · 06-11-2004, 02:08 AM

I just got some great ideas for the logo - I'll post my suggestions Tuesday

ngdawg · 06-11-2004, 01:00 PM

Some refining of my previous attempt-

analog · 06-11-2004, 01:55 PM

This was originally created as pure vector in Flash, original available. Yes, the shapes are that way on purpose. I like contrasting the cartoonish TFP with the words below it. But that may just be me.

More to come.

Giant Hamburger · 06-12-2004, 06:55 PM

I'll get rid of the artifacting momentarily.

Sun Tzu · 06-12-2004, 08:44 PM

I'll post some variations I have; but this is one of the ideas I came up with.

Halx · 06-12-2004, 11:30 PM

i'd advise to make the letters prominent.. unless it's exceedingly clever and done sharply

Nancy · 06-14-2004, 12:53 AM

with "community" in mind I made this:

Nancy · 06-14-2004, 12:54 AM

*sigh* wrong picture..here's the right one:

Nancy · 06-14-2004, 03:18 AM

and another one inspired by "evolve":

Bill O'Rights · 06-14-2004, 04:36 AM

Hmmm...I see some pretty damn creative people here. These are very good. Very impressive. Halx, I don't envy you on having to decide on just one of them.

gallopingwanker · 06-14-2004, 05:45 AM

Halx · 06-14-2004, 04:49 PM

that's.. a fairly recognizable religious symbol, man

doodlebird · 06-14-2004, 07:49 PM

animosity (and all)...
that T with the tilted top is awesome.
simple, yet relevant to the name.

i disagree that you have to show WHY it's titled.
let folks figure it out on their own...
make up they're own story.

ambiguity is the key for me.
