    First off, sorry if i come across harsh, this isn't intended as a flame, it's just i am a designer myself, and have opinions <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    In my opinion, i think it's too "filter-heavy", if you see what i mean There's nothing that draws your eye anywhere, except the text itself, but if it's just the text, you may as well have left it an entirely flat colour and included the text (minimalism r0x0rz my b0x0r). What i think you need to do is concentrate more on the actual design, where the picture leads your eyes and makes you focus, and less of the overusing filters.

    In short: Anyone can use a handful of filters, but a true artist can accomplish more without using any.

    Also, if you manage to do something without having to use filters, you'll feel all the more better and more proud for it.

    Sorry to be stupid but what s the purpose of this background? is it a wallpaper or for a web site?
    If it is for a web site, also consider the fact that it is not necessarly easy to read on those kind of graph

    But since i dont seem to understand what this graph is for then i wont comment anymore now :-)

    it needs to draw the eye into it. if you have something in the middle (sexy chick perhaps?) , use the lines and stuff to make you look there

    define the cube more. Right now it looks like a blob. Otherwise it fits in well.
  • DunsbyDunsby Join Date: 2002-08-01 Member: 1042Awaiting Authorization
    Cant think of a good idea to get light coming from the cube, ill fix the blob going into the square later, ill darken the bar also.

    What else on the logo?

    Any other things?

    blur the C in the middle, it looks like a job from windows paint. im not liking the color theme either. maybe black and red grid would be easier on the eyes or possibly invert the colors and then see what it looks like.

    How about now?

    I fixed the E at the top, looked like a u on its side.
  • InussInuss Join Date: 2002-12-11 Member: 10558Members
    good job fixing the E, now fix the B, it looks like an "a"

    The gray simply looks bad with the blue, make the blue darker and the grey more blue.
  • DunsbyDunsby Join Date: 2002-08-01 Member: 1042Awaiting Authorization
    How about...

    better, try a hue and saturation on the blue cubes and make them really dark but still blue. And try making the gray blue again after that, and match it to the cubes.

    The "C" looks like some "Flash" work.
  • DunsbyDunsby Join Date: 2002-08-01 Member: 1042Awaiting Authorization
    "Flash" as in good or "Flash" as in Flash MX? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
