idea sharing: photo to go with logo/name

[Glenn Sharp]

Dennis,

Sorry to be so English but could you translate what the text says to give me an idea about what you do 😳

[Dennis Van Der Lingen]

here’s what i’ve come up with so far:

the idea was to have a photo with color accents,
it has to be self standing (being able to use it on all colors of backgrond) to be versatile enough.

anyway, is this the right way to go or should i dismiss the eye thing and move on to other things?

keep in mind the photoshopped eye is not finished and is not yet fine tuned in terms of colors, saturation, levels,….let’s just say everything

here’s the translation:

met visuele groeten: with visual regards (dutch)
visuellement votre: with visual regards (french)

reclamewerken: signs (dutch)
traveauw publicitaire: signs (french)

left bottom is contact data, adress, tel, fax,etc…

[Dave & Rob Lowery]

Here’s some I found brousing the web a while ago if they are of any use.

maybe have another smaller picture or text within the eye?? if you see what i mean? actually in the pupil.

what sites do you use to get these images, i use alamay and corbis but often get as good images

[Robert Lambie]

[Nicola McIntosh]

the eye and the frog are from the net.

the sites i frequently visit are:

http://www.yotophoto.com
http://www.morguefile.com

how i do this is not that difficult
i’ll try to show you in the next post, it’s mabey not a bad idea to post photoshop tutorials on the site, i can’t acces the tutorial thread so i’ll post a pic, mabey not so bad to mail some cool tutorials to robert so he can post them on the demo threads.

mabey a poll to chech the need of some good psd advice

i’ll stop rambling here and work on a explanation picture

[Dennis Van Der Lingen]

here it is, how i did it.

its a bit difficult to cram all the info in 6 screenprints but i hope it’s clear enough

this was done quit fast so if you want another tut just ask

that looks fantastic mate!! wow, very vivid spot on dennis, spot on!

[Dennis Van Der Lingen]

i’ve shown it around and gotten a few remarks.
so i’ve fine tuned it a bit.

if everyone agrees with this and the members of the board here think it’s ok i think we’ve gotten ourselves a new logo. 😀

yeah the bottom words are better now you have darkened them more, its easier to see.

[Matt Boyd]

dennis, have you tried slightly making the c in the eye darker around the edge? but just the edge of the c to see what it looks like?

[Dennis Van Der Lingen]

hahaha, i’m not good enough mate, this is just some basic stuff i’m nowhere near the pro’s.

i just hope the design gives a possitive, proffesional and modern image

[Chris Wool]

i like it even thou i dont understand what it says 😀

chris

[Dennis Van Der Lingen]

chris, it just says signs in french and dutch.

about the C i’ll c what it looks like tomorow, but everyone is positive about it and the new logo has been born.

there is still some fine tweeking to do on both the eye as the letters, but this wil be the definitive logo.

i want to thank you all for sharing your opinions and giving me the ideas i needed to get a nice result.

mabey i’ll post some photoshop tutorials, seeing as i was asked on how i changed the iriscolor
