Re: Possible CO-OP logo

If you want to give it a try you can check out assets-sources from:

http://code.google.com/p/bzzwolfsp/sour … nk%2Fmedia

Photoshop files are provided for those few files.

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

I see the mix-up here, banner = logo, logo = banner big_smile . I made the banner at the top, Fretn, but after your last email to us DOG and me modified it. You're right about the Wolfenstein fonts, Fretn, they are not very good at all. There's no Wolfenstein font, as far as we can see, that can match the Wolfenstein logo font.

Using the same background that I created for the first banner that's been posted, we experimented with different fonts and we came up with these 2 variations that we liked:

As always, let us know what you think, good or bad lol big_smile .

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

Hey,

First post here and I must say I really like rtcw-coop a lot, it's really good fun running through the levels like some years ago but this time with friends to help kill off the axis forces!

I'm posting here today having to do with the site and the logo.
It's not much different but different text formatting and an inverted color, what do you think?
http://home.comcast.net/~mrrocket/etc/rtcw_coop_siteshot1.png

It's just like fretn's other than inverted colors black and red, but of course still .png format. smile
If you like? here is the main page with inverted color logo etc:
http://home.comcast.net/~mrrocket/etc/r … _stuff.rar
~ if you'd like to have a look at it in your web browser instead.

A texture background might look cool as well, the texture I would make to look like something from rtcw. ~ something like a rugged stained brick would look nice. wink
However if a texture background is used, then the logo would need to have a transparent background of its own. ~ although would be no problem to do.

Thanks

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

the problem is now that your eye is attracted to 'a return to castle wolfenstein modification' because this is white and rtcwcoop is black (your eye is always attracted to the brightest part it sees)

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

Hey,

I see your point, I could revers that, where the logo is white instead of red and underneath could be red, or possibly all white with black background.

~ Though I suppose it could be many different ways, perhaps the white lettering could be grey instead?

Let me know and I could fix a few different versions up if wanted.

Edit:
However, then there's this:
http://home.comcast.net/~mrrocket/etc/rtcw_coop_siteshot2.png
Which is the background shot from moddb. ~ slightly modifide, took the hud out. wink
The visited links are currently cyan blue, would look much better as grey with the backdrop though.

Anyways, there's a few ideas. smile

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

a slightly transparent backdrop behind the content would make it more readable I think

I wish I could make the cooperative part in this screenshot looking like the 'wolfenstein' font

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

I'm guessing the original developers don't allow the font to be used by 3rd party devs?

If the backdrop was transparent the solid backing would be more visible, for example if the page is black before a transparent backdrop was placed over it, it would just make the backdrop darker, or look darker. So it would probably be best to make the backdrop its self darker heh.

Although it all depends how you want it to look, font color logo etc.
The last shot above is just the game screenshot (solid image) with Arial font overlay in html. ~ has no transparency.

So basically what you were saying, I think it would just look better if the backdrop was just a little darker and I agree.

Shot is slightly scaled in the post. If the shot is viewed in a seperate page it will allow zoom. smile

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

What do you think about this kind of loading screen?

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/ojuzj.jpg

I know that isn't quite on topic, but i didn't want to post new thread.

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

Imho if it's faded a little and accounted for messages on connections it could work.

Something like:

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

Since I can't post multiple attachments..if you wonder why you need that bar, it's because of various text being displayed when connecting and has to be readable...example:

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

1) Yes, it's faded because I based it on a original loading screens from RtCW multiplayer. There you will have the same color style. I thought it was a good reference to Wolfenstein MP tradition.
2) Loading screen doesn't mean the same as a connecting screen. Map snapshot shows up AFTER connection info and You can't combine these two things - of course, without code changes.

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

I thought you meant as Loading screen = connecting screen. But yeah...got it.

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

nate: when you are autodownloading, or seeing the 'connecting to' messages you don't see the map screenshot, thats the connecting screen
the loading screen is the map you see and thats when you are actually connected to the server

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

I know what the connecting and loading screen is, I just thought that he was referring to connecting and used "loading" as label. Was just a miscommunication.  smile

Re: Possible CO-OP logo

The one that Wireman posted at post 15 is good, but I think that if the logo is in the center and under it there to be a navigation menu with buttons named "Home", "Wiki", "Forum", "Google Code Project Page" and then under the nav. menu there to be the download text and under it buttons for the different operating system versions, so when you click on one of them, you can download the version you need.

I am at work now and I can't show you what's my idea.

>> I will show what I have done soon after I finish it, but in my opinion I can say that it looks cool. smile

>>> Heh, here is what I have done in around 2 hours of work in Adobe Photoshop and in the game (removing the menus text,  moving/resizing the menu boxes...).

It's a completely re-design of the home page of the site that in my opinion looks more than cool. It's simple for now,  because I'm still thinking about some things.

Say what you think. smile
