The answer to this is... PRACTICE :D

[Tropica]

x];2805157']The answer to this is... PRACTICE :D

yeah but you also missed out PRACTICE and more PRACTICE :D

[mitcharr]

yeh i know, i guess i am practicing, slowly getting better, not as great as you guys yet though

[Tropica]

i'm not as great as most either! i havent earned the great tag yet! lol

[warpser]

You should try and be more creative though (even if only a little), Not use the same image/Photoshop shapes over and over with different text.

It's not just, slap an image on gradient background, add text, boom done. 10 seconds of work.

Logo is meant to stand out, not look like someone else logo.

- Just my opinion.

[Rezki]

Tropica and xXx... you got the same design as I see :P
only xXx added a 3D effect ..

mine is comin', watch out ;)

i actually was making this before anyone else had posted, so dont worry yourself about it warpser :rolleyes:

and... where are the "gradient backgrounds?"

Tropica, that's not what i meant. I've seen you use the design many times somewhere else, and sold it i think.
I've also seen the one with the world and magnifying glass one used a lot.

Not trying to attack you just sayin. Not singling you out, some others as well.

I just think it's more unique if you try something different each time.
Not just paste an image add text, and your done. Literally 10 seconds of work.
What is that anyway? a pre-made photoshop shape?

- Again just my opinion.

Great design.

I have used the magnifying glass like twice, and have never used the crown before. Im not gonna draw up a vector for $10 (you might, and idiots might - just my opinion)

So instead of slating either people, load your photoshop up and show us all hows its done - Again just my opinion.

LOL,
Well, sorry for getting you worked up tropica, and sorry, if it wasn't you using the crow, but i know i've seen the world/magnifying glass one.

well i guess i had something coming... Don't really have any ideas for this... But OK you got it, I'll enter.
I actually try to get better at this, practice is what you said right?

What are you practicing? Copy and pasteing someone elses work, or pre-made shapes? =(

By the way, this is $50 buddy, ;)

NOTE: i'm not mad, not at all. Just think he's not one to be calling me an idiot.

[mitcharr]

Warpser, Relax

I didn't state this was for $10 it was to highlight in general, you haven't got me worked up as really i don't care, I find it pathetic that you need to argue over $50 (where i live that is hardly anything)

I don't need to practice, i'm not a graphic artist, I'm a web designer and this is my hobby, but if you are so desperate for the money i will swing some work your way and then you maybe can stop slating others!

And "NOTE: i'm not mad, not at all. Just think he's not one to be calling me an idiot."

You are an idiot if you do vector for that price

[DaveyBoy]

lol @ your new avatar

$50 is something to me btw ;)

[[x[x]x]]

Lol Like your Avatar Tropica :D HEHE

$50 is something to me too, I'm only 14 and $50 is my monthly pocket money :eek: ;) Well actually it's 50 Swiss Francs, and that's even less...

[Tropica]

cheers daveyboy and [x[x]x] :)

Yeah its all vecor, I drew it up myself, Someone offered me $1 in a comp and i just went crazy with my pen tool ;)

[cb711]

ramakrishna is the front-runner

[warpser]

Ugh! i hate spamming posts.

Sorry to say, but this is a hobby for me as well. I've always liked messing with photoshop.

I think you're the one who implied me to join anyway. And i'm not really arguing for the money, I didn't even plan to enter this.

This is my last post, if you need to say something please PM me instead.
SORRY cb711.

[Rezki]

Hmm.. ok here is my try...
PS: It's a vector which means I took much time drawing it :p

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/6181/crowsoftmq4.jpg

feedback please :)

[DaveyBoy]

A few variations on my idea. Decided against the crown in the end :

[Rezki]

http://labs.mcalister.ch/images/dp/CrownSoft2.gif

Please tell me if its too similar to yours ramakrishna!

[Rezki]

haha, I think that this theard has become a "CHAT ROOM".. let's say :"INSULTING ROOM"...

guys, you really act like Kids..

Tropica : you had to accept what warpser said about your logo.. it's a kind of "Feedback".. and he said sorry when he realized that it wasn't you who used that shape much times...

PS: I don't want to entre the battle, so if you feel angry, just ignore this :p

[mitcharr]

Edit:
fixed up top and left of crown

Yes, the overhead of letter "C" will tempt designers to put something over that. :D

No worries, Not similar. :) My Crown is with "C", Yours is with "O" ...and Still the letter "S" in Soft is without Crown. Anyone can keep if they wish. LOL! :D :D
