Hey guys, it's the new HASSESA logo. Lemme know what ya think about it.

IMO Overdone.

1 - almost no contrast
2 - too "glossy"
3 - lensflare abuse
4 - unreadable

But I may be biased since I'm designing/editing/upgrading/modyfying 2-4 logos every day at work.

Start with pure vector logo, and if you like it then add only nescessary special effects.

Analyze some existing ones and get inspiration from them, then add your "feel"

3 - lensflare abuse

No such thing. :thumbup:

No such thing. :thumbup:

Lens flares are like comic sans.

I'm not against lens flare in general. I only think logo isn't the best aplication for it. Simple gradients prove better in logos.

I created quick vector draft but remember than creating logo is slow process. Leave your project for 2 days and look on it with "fresh eye". Then modify it according to your feelings. repeat this after 2 more days.

Wow, I didn't think I'd get this kind of feedback!! .

You are diffenately right there, Loru. I did abuse the lens flare. It was a 'quicky'. Your's looks great!

What program(s) did you use to create it, BTW? I'd like to make better looking ones.

[Eccentrus]

use adobe illustrator, or coreldraw, or inkscape

Thanks.

I used Corel Draw X4 but like Eccentrus posted any decent vector drawing software will be good. I may only repeat: Adobe Ilustrator, Corel Draw or Inkscape.

Keep in mind that in those programs you don't work on pixels but on beizer lines and vertices. It's just like creating 2d Mesh

Space Shuttle Atlantis has returned from her Skylab-5 mission. She spent 12 days in orbit and 8 of those days docked to Skylab-II. Thanks to Atlantis and her crew (and of course personel on the ground) Skylab-II is now 1 step closer to permanent residency

Just enjoying the view

Un-docking! Skylab-5 returning home

Getting farther away

Time to close!

Preparing for reentry

Last look in the bay with the APAS-75 docking system (used for the final time by the shuttle) and the logistics module

Ready for de-orbit burn

There we go!

One fine looking shuttle

Were we started 12 days ago

Aligning with the runway

Main gear touch down!

Wheels stop

Welcome home Atlantis!

<~Pablo> Hey woo, how much does that train weigh? on cssc
<~Woo482> Nothing
<~Woo482> I'm bypassing all of Orbiter's calculations
* ~Woo482 is uber like that
<~Woo482> It'll automatically set itself back onto the ground

Altitute: 1.387 km

I may have forgotten to beta test, but atleast I hit the "showstopping" bugs after release!

Nice mesh - I like it a lot. I hope you'll code it and alllow launching as payload on other launchers.

 

[Donamy]

Thanks for the compliment, but I can't code. If someone wants too, I'd be grateful.

 

[Loru]

I hope someone will code it in nice clean way.

I want to launch it on Themis-A

You should get in touch with glider

For all those who've been helping me on the SDK forum and via PM....

(Moach, Agent Gonzo, Jedidia, Glider, Urwumpe, C3PO, and too many others to thank)

...Here's a peek at what I've been working on.

Launched a Jarvis-C with 2 satellites. This is the Telecom-Sat in GEO above Africa

(I love this altitude)
