ATF: After a bit more thought, I do like the astronaut one quite a lot. Do you think you could make the astronaut just the tiniest bit smaller, and reduce the yellow flare stuff around him a bit. Could you show me that one with and without the brackets round no hope? Thanks, I'd really appreciate that.
Great! That's looking really nice now, but could you make the 'no hope' text the same size as the 'astronaut' text? It looks a bit smaller to me. Also, just keep the no hope text white. Again, really nice work!
Escape-it: Just wanted to say that whoever you end up choosing make sure you get the final graphic at 300 dpi for printing purposes.
If you need the logo in 300 dpi i would have to remake it, but that wouldn't be too much of a problem. That is a very good idea you suggested, here is what it would look like: personally, I think it looks the best this way -ATF
Should always make em in 300dpi anyway, if it's not a vector that is. That one should be easy to live trace in Illustrator, btw.
Ok, I'm going to show the rest of the band a selection of designs to choose from tonight and I'll announce the winner either later on tonight or tomorrow morning. Thanks everyone for your work on this, I'll be holding another contest soon for my brother's band, so keep an eye out for that if you enjoy band logos! Cheers, Neil.
Ok everyone, I showed the contending designs to my bandmates last night and we decided unanimously that the winner was... AddictedToFate! Shoot me a PM when you see this and we can sort out details. To everyone else who entered - thanks for all your time and effort, I'll have a couple more contests coming up soon and I'd love to see some designs from you guys in there. Take care.
