Spring RTS Engine

ooops

ooooooops

Hay, you f*ed with my explosion... I was quite capible of doin that myslef you know... Now it looks odd because the red and yellows are not the same on both the fire and the explosion. do the same to both and then it wont look as odd.

I think I'd prefer to see soemthing a little more different or maybe a variation on the peewee with the flower with the explosion.

aGorm: I cant think of anyone I'd rather have in second place!

what?! I didn't touch the explosion! (did I...?)

# For the logo for Spring, i would like it to be one of these:

1- An horizon with a sunrise of any color. No need to be yellow, like http://www.onebob.co.uk/darren/pics/logoish.jpg.

2- A beautifull flaming red phoenix rising up.

3- A simple tree. Yes, a tree. It can represent birth or rebirth and also it can represent a part of history of the creation of the game that hapened in the forums.

Have you guys ever played Diablo, Starcraft, Diablo2? Somehow a rumor started about Diablo that clicking on a cow in the city would open an entry to a secret level. That was not true and in Starcraft, the secret code to reveal the whole map was "there is no cow level". Also, in Diablo2, they actually made "The Secret Cow Level".
For all that a tree represents in real life and in the history of what happened in the forums, the 3rd option seems very fine to me.

# As for adapting for the TA-Spring logo:
1.1- A large army revealing itself marching from the horizon with the sunrise behind them. Ofcourse having the CORE commander in front of them.

1.2- A nuclear explosion in front of the sunrise.

2.1- The phoenix lifting up a CORE commander with it's claws/legs.

2.2- The CORE commander rising up surrounded by the flamming shape of the phoenix.

3.1- The CORE commander, or an army, marching towards us and trampling the tree that would be presented inclined in a falling position. (The video SY's made about trampling trees was just so funny... Also, whenever there is a battle in TA, the landscape is inevitably burned, smashed, destroyed, trampled.)

# CORE Commander. Why the highlight on it? If you remember the story, in the Core Contigency Plan expansion they lost the war. So, it can only be a new rising for the CORE.


All of these options are well defined in shape as well as in they're theme and finding a colour theme for them seems reasonably easy. The phoenix, though, may be hard to do...

I like 3 and 3.1 . It serves both tree-lovers and tree-haters! And there are many kinds of trees, which means many possible designs.

how about something a little more interesting than a tree, i.e. a mutant tree.

Or maybe a dead tree like the one I made here?

Looks more like a tenticled monster than a tree.

Nice neuralize, but wheres the engine bit?

erm, I'm in two minds as to that enw one Neuralize

Yah, the mutant tree remidns me of splattered paint


aGorm, nice flash

In my assignment for class, the epic engine bit only appears on the designs for mousepads, t-shirts, and hats. Currently I'm messing around with box art text.

trees??? FLOWERS!!! I AM GRIPPED WITH A INCREDABLE INFURURATING FURURATING RAGE! Why would the Spring TA logo be a flower! The very thought fills me with rage... i am going to need to swear at a pillo for a bit. <begins shouting>

Now that im done with all that, im ready to give out some suggestions. Iv alwayesed LOVED the TA into. How the camera slides down from space, through the atmoshere of the planet and a sentinal is cunstructed, the it begins fireing as the percusion of the ocestraly awsom music gripps you and takes controll, showing the epic sizes of the Core and the Arms struggle for domination. I think we sould keep the mechincised coolnes of TA for the TA spring logo. No mythical beasts and twiddly tree hugging stuff. However if their is ever going to be a TAK Spring, then a Pheonix would work perfectly, and a tree woudl work their. But then again TAK wasent nearly as good as TA to me

Just for the Record

SPRING LOGO

Not TA SPRING LOGO

Thanks

Zoombie:
It is suposed to be made a logo for the Spring engine and a logo for the adaptation of TA to the engine, the TA-Spring.

Yes, i seem to remember seeing that somewhere.
Actually that's pretty cool! Really cool indeed. But that's just my opinion.

we have so gotta have that intro music, it reminds me so vividly of TA!

aGorm maybe if you created a TASpring logo thread maybe people wouldnt spill their TA logo ideas into the spring logo threads
