Title: Show Style Logos Return!
Post by: jtmal0723 on April 12, 2010, 10:11:11 AM
The show style logos you all know and love have returned... They're NOT the finalized versions... Why? Well I'm giving the community an opportunity to improve on them. I know I had a few people PM me or IM me saying that such and such logo should be tweaked in this way and such and such logo should be tweaked that way. Well, now the community has an opportunity to act on their opinions. I am, by far, not the greatest graphic designer in the world by any means. I would love to see what the community comes up with. Below are the show logos in their current form:

Requirements if you so choose to modify logos to your liking: I ask that you keep the image widths below 900 pixels and heights below 200 pixels if possible. If you attach a modified logo, I ask you attach your PSD as well in the event your logo is chosen in a poll to come later, conditions pending. All PSDs for these show logos can be found at https://twctodayforums.com/logos/twcttwcc (https://twctodayforums.com/logos/twcttwcc).

Again, this is a chance for the entire community to have an opportunity to pitch in on the logo design for the forums. I, along with the rest of the crew, look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. Happy photoshopping! :)

There are storm alert mode banners ready if needed, and I'm sure the ones who are more artistic than me will take care of it. :yes:

They look great!  I definitely like the PM Edition and Sunrise Weather logo (as in they are my favorite).  Just curious, have you thought of changing the YWT logo's color to maybe a darkish red/orange?  Or are you going to keep it yellow?

I'm waiting on a high quality HD shot of the YWT intro image (LDL-less) to come about so I can match the colors out perfectly. For now, however, it will remain its trademark yellow.

TWC must be viewing this forum because just when they were showing that graphic I've promised to capture for you, they went to some flood thing.

Will this do? I cropped off the LDA to prevent color confusion. ;) I will try a 16:9 shot later. :yes:

Post by: jtmal0723 on April 14, 2010, 07:23:20 PM
Yes. This works. I will play around with it when I get home. Make sure the future 16:9 shot is in the highest quality possible and not in JPG format ;)

I could get you an HQ 16:9 shot if you want? but not until i get the HD channel added.

Jesse, is it OK if I just make minor tweaks to some of the logos, or do you want some big changes? :dunno: Most of them are very good. :biggrin:

In making the tweaks, do you all like twc classics in all lowercase with the vertical line (|), or can I change that? :unsure:

Go ahead :) I like the way twc classics looks now. Any thoughts Matt?

Minor, major... anything you want to do, go for it. I'm open to seeing what anyone comes up with. The twc|classics is like this because of the logo on the main page of TWC Classics.

My god, TWC's color pallate choice for YWT's new graphics is NOT the smartest nor the best... This was tricky to convert properly...

Thoughts?

Good job, Jesse! :D Do you mind posting the PSD file here...if it's alright with you, I might tweak it slightly. :thumbsup:

It's still in the "concept" phase, but... thoughts?

Mixed feelings on the flags inside the circle. Might just need some time to adjust to it. Everything else looks swell!

Can you spot the tweaks? :unsure: :P As you can tell, I wasn't kidding about seeing if we could make very minor tweaks. What I have done is changed the font of the "&" (because I felt the original one in BankGothic font "stuck out" a little) and "stretched out" twc|classics because it looked just a little too condensed. :yes:

If you all like my tweaks, I will post the PSD file here, and I would also need to change all the logos slightly and re-post them. Please excuse me for being very picky like this...sometimes that's how I am. :blushing:

seems simple enough to tweak on my own if everyone likes it, but I kind of like the original myself...

The ampersand never really stood out to me. I would much prefer it being gone altogether, and instead having the two logos either being separated by a divider, or have each logo being on each of the two sides of the webpages.

I agree! I really like those changes. Lets go with it!

I'll get on it this weekend... I need to know what font the & is in though....

Andy's modified logos will go in to effect after the tornado outbreak, or Monday, whichever is later. :)

Glad to hear, Jesse! :biggrin: Patrick, just so you're not disappointed, they're not modified very much. I just made a few tweaks to make things look cleaner and better. :thumbsup:

That's fine, Andy.  I'll see if I can spot the minor tweaks.  Thanks for your work!
