Dan's latest with the "beyond limits" phrase looks good too. Would that work with some sort of shadow (i.e. like a gray or black shadow say pointing to the right a bit? It may not work worth a dang- but it sounds interesting(?) Or maybe the "beyond limits" in a dark blue? Have we settled on a phrase yet? (I need to look in the other topic to see what's what...) We should probably let the poll go for a day or two to give people a chance to put in the 2 cents worth! _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I like both designs but the lettering proportions of the 'Beyond Limits' on both seem out of balance a little. Can't quite put a finger on it but . . . Dan has a great eye for design though and mine was just a 'reference' to work from. When the slogun phrase is settled then the final design with the 'cast shadow' idea could be tweaked some more.   Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 5:47 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" "Sherry"! Who you talkin' bout Willis?

I also think if we're gonna shadow something it should be the airgunhome.com instead of the slogan since the slogan is secondary, we dont want it to take away from the main title....or we could shadow both _________________   Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 6:22 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" You're probably right- it will just confuse things with shadowing everywhere. I think what I was thinking was a "movement" effect- like you see on courier trucks- those "speed lines" behind pictures and words to indicate movement- coming in from the right so as to make the phrase look like it's "running" to the left. Maybe that's just way over the top.   Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 6:29 pm 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 Does your edit software create shadow effects? What I did was used 2 similar fonts each with different colors that have slightly different 'stretch' rates.   Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 9:08 pm dedpool Veteran Member Joined: 20 Jul 2007 Posts: 244 Location: Hokie Nation im using like a 5 year old version of paintshop pro. I can create shadow but i think its easier to just print the text then copy it and paste it on top of itself and just slightly offset it _________________   Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2007 9:21 pm 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 Sounds about what I did with the different fonts, but like AirgunEric pointed out {and I agree with} there was something sort of 'confusing' about it. I kinda like the effect though, so there must be a way to pull it off without that 'confused' thing happening.   Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2007 12:02 am dedpool Veteran Member Joined: 20 Jul 2007 Posts: 244 Location: Hokie Nation _________________   Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2007 12:16 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" Damn! That looks alot better than I was expecting! I think that is definitely the one to use. Now we need a couple more days for people to vote on the slogan and we'll be all set!   Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2007 12:39 am 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 VERY NICE Excellent shadow effect   Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2007 8:31 am dedpool Veteran Member Joined: 20 Jul 2007 Posts: 244 Location: Hokie Nation aww thanks guys _________________   Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2007 9:44 am dedpool Veteran Member Joined: 20 Jul 2007 Posts: 244 Location: Hokie Nation do you like the darker crosshairs or no? _________________ Site logo?     Air Gun Home Forum Index » AirGunHome Q&A You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 6 of 7   Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7  Next All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
