The symbols represent the uses of the forums;
- A magnifying glass.. I used for either 'search' or a 'resource'
- The symbol of one man helping the other symbolizing a 'community'
- Tools, to represent the practical aspect, such as modding etc...
*images can be resized smaller if needed.
Thought I'd sneak in before any of the 'big guns' release their designs

Yes, he's looking for one logo that combines both. I think 325 x 120 would be a better size to go by because the original is a tad small for this request.

anything. The Idea is "new". Just make sure you follow Metal devils guidelines. You can make as many entries as you want too.

why change it if it's already so good? thought i'd try to leave it as close to the originial as possible, i just moved a few things around, etc. the image is already sliced.. this is just a rough draft, as i know the fonts i selected are total crap(i figured i'd let md or one of the admins on the site pick out the fonts if they don't like mine). open to suggestions anyone, if there's something someone doesn't like..

Wow that was hard to do. 7 pics. The outside of the oval had to be a png otherwise it looks pixelated. The three forums inside are animated gifs with 53 layers. And the links work.
I'm need a nap.
2nd edit: I still need to fix the font on X360 (could look better)
Post by: xboxbox451 on November 18, 2006, 11:39:00 AM
@_iffy, cool animation, though you don't have to save your image as a transparency, since its proposed to go on the top frame it could have a white background. The transparent background will show up with either a grey or blue background in IE6 since it cant render .png transparencies.

UPDATED:
I added rollover image borders to the forum link buttons, and added a rollover for the top portion of the graphic so when hovering, "Scene" will change to "Click for latest news".

^ how do you do that?
Simple if you have Macromedia's Dreamweaver. Just create an HTML table and insert your sliced images you have stored on your hosting site. For the rollover images, you add your image using the Rollover Image function, found by clicking Insert/Image Objects/Rollover Image, from Dreamweaver's menu. From there you just paste in your links for the original image and rollover image plus link for whatever URl you want the button to link to.
You could use other html editors, though noone can hold a candle to Dreamweaver. Download Dreamweaver at Adobes website, they give you a 30 DAY TRIAL!. --> Dreamweaver Link

But, I'd like to at least raise a question. Why do we call it Xbox 1? Personally I separate them by calling them Xbox & 360. Nowhere is the Xbox called the Xbox 1 (by MS at least).
This is what I mean (and why I don't mess with photoshop
) :

Demo
That demo isn't final, as you can probably tell because the only link that works is the "home". This is because flash does not accept comma's in urls. And in the other 3 webpages all have commas so i will have to figure out a way to get by that.

You should just slice it so the words xbox at the top take you to the xbox area, ps3 takes you to ps3 and the main Scene take you to 360.
Or xbox take you to 360, ps3 take yout o ps3 and scene take you to the main index.
Post by: CattyKid on December 06, 2006, 08:35:00 PM
I am definitely happy with them and I think I had a good concept, although a little bigger than planned.
They are about 261*167 when resized. I know they are a little bit bigger.. but I thought it was important to keep the XS Man in there since that is a big part of how we are known.
Anyway, cheers, good entries everyone
May the best logo win!

I really like that idea. I think I was having trouble with placement of them because it just makes the logo look too cluttered. I'll work that up in a bit here.
Here is my design minus the sliced links
For xbox-scene:
For ps3-scene:
I figure the only way the logos can match the "individual" sites the best is to simply have the same logo but with their own respective colors.
I was also thinking about a little slogan and I figured I would run it by you guys.
xbox / ps3 scene - "where fanboys come together"
