I dunno if I like the idea of a splash screen. At first I thought this was about boxart for games that dont have boxart. I just want 2 select surreal 64 and play games I dont wanna wait another 3 seconds everytime. I'm aware there would be an off option but still.

Those look really good, but i need to say something.
I know that lantus is crazy about Conker (aren't we all?), but i think you should take out those Rare "r" because they make it seem like it is a Rare Emulator. I think COnker should be the main character, but not the Rare r's. This is just a seggestion. If you want a really good r, make fire R's. Like this: user posted image.

Then i think it'll look cool.

This is just my opinions.

And these look amazingly bitchin

Asher, I LOVE the first pic in first post, use exactly same text and exactly same background picture, the other texts posted aren't as good IMO. I simply would add 4 other characters in the corner of the top picture and leav it as that, simple but VERY cool  smile.gif

i think we´ll keep the first one...
that why i put it first.
because its the one i like more.
its very simple...but its not like any other emu.
its like something newer...
i love that conker one.

and the jpg compression looks awful
wait till you see the png format. or bmp.
i have that image as big as you want lantus. (every format)
lantus where are youuuuuu???  blink.gif

i sticked posters in the streets near my house with that logo.
hahahahaha....what a printer and a designer can do! laugh.gif  laugh.gif

to be honest, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th ones like the same but different, and the 5th one looks plain
the first one is above OK but the last two are the best in that selection

but my all time favorite is the original you made in the other post with conker leaning up against the logo on the n64 box, and the very first one you made on this thread

i think those are the two that are going to make it because conkers in there  biggrin.gif

everyone loves that little critter

Man, I love the Conker one, I do think the background would look cool in black, but dude, it's your design and don't listen to all the other gay people, Your doing the best you can (or lets at least hope so) Keep up the good work.

And before anyone criticizes my horrible logo's, I was just trying to give Asher some ideas. I made 'em in like 5 minutes tongue.gif

I partially agree with Sinista, and i'll try to keep the criticism constructive. The logo's look good, but they do not have a sense of professionalism that most nice looking websites have. The logos are simple and lack certian smoothness to them, without extensive/detailed items in the logo.

I like the straight Surreal (normal) in the Nintendo logo style.
However, I can't help but wonder what it would look like more in the Nintendo 64 style (as opposed to Nintendo Entertainment System) ?
Like that 3-d looking N with Nintendo 64 underneath. But maybe a 3-d S with Surreal 64 ? (the version i don't think is an integral part of the logo).

What do you think?

Asher, it's basically a good idea, but I highly doubt that you are a "graphic designer" as you claim to be. Based on what I've seen, I don't think that you are too familliar with Illustrator, you are trying to make the "Nintendo Border" out of circles and lines or rectangles or something, and frankly it looks very pieced together and unprofessional. You should use the "Rounded Rectangle tool" it will give it a very clean, one pice look that the real Nintendo logo has.

-------------------------

This is stright from the Illustrator manual:

To adjust corners of a rounded rectangle as you draw:

-Select the Rounded Rectangle tool.
-Position the pointer where you want the rectangle to begin, and start dragging diagonally until the rectangle is the size you want.
-You can press any of the following to get specific results as you drag:

The Up Arrow key or Down Arrow key to change the corner radius. When the corners are the desired roundness, release the key.
The Left Arrow key to change to the minimum radius (most angular corners).
The Right Arrow key to change to the maximum radius (most rounded corners).

----------------------------


I have used this many times to make perfect Nintendo logos.
Sorry if I sound like a jag, I'm just trying to help!
Keep up the good work!

I was thinking the same before I read the post too. Same with Iriez's post.
A graphics designer or just someone who has fun in Photoshop? Because the images are rough and ragged and just pasted from other logo's. And the 'V2' looks like it's been done in MS Paint. Even the Rare 'R' is jagged, it's just a simple letter with a little shine and gradient, if you were a graphic designer doing these from scratch would take 10 seconds. I am not attacking because I appreciate the effort and think the idea's are there but when you make statements about being a graphic designer and then posts saying the logo is coming on this date etc, then expect some sort of criticism.
