EroFriki Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 I have updated the links, you should be able to see them now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovalis Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I would lose the swords behind the shield if it was me, you won't be able to see them very well when it's on your arm. You should also think about making the green outline brighter, the brighter the color is the more it will glow and having the outline glow would look pretty good.

EroFriki Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=246328307 I've made the border of the shield a bit more glowing and I have centered the shield and made the swords a bit longer (both by the handle and the end of the blade). What do you think now? BTW thank you for your feedback :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shayvidas Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 too much green.. green and blue don't really go together in my opinion.. otherwize.. it's just a normal clan logo no twist to it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambisyon_Ni_Batman Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Yep, blue and green does not go very well. You could change the green to black, white, gray or a different shade of blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EroFriki Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 improved version with black background and darker edges. Do you guys have any idea which could make the emblem more impressive? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-rM3zJAPw6JLUo3RmlaM3RCUUE/edit?usp=sharing Thanks again!

ArchPhaeton Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I don't have a problem with the green-blue thing, at least in the latest version. A coat of arms is a very standard thing, so it will hardly be that impressive. If you want to keep it, I'd say the 3D-ish thing it has (edges with darker areas) doesn't help much, and the Lotus logo is kinda lost in the black fill. I would remove that fill and leave the Lotus logo floating in the shield, like a hologram. Keep in mind you need to make a simple, easy-to-view logo. You achieve this with clear contrast and simple outlines. The contrast in the last version is much better than the initial one, but it can be improved. Use a lighter green in the text outline. If you tell us what concepts you want to show in your emblem we may help a little bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EroFriki Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 I think I will plan better the emblem and talk it with my clanmates, we will all gather and talk about possible ideas for something to replace the coat of arms (after all it is 150 platinums to upload). I suppose I wanted to surprise them this weekend with an emblem but in order to make a better-than-average emblem u must spend more than 1 or 2 hours. I'd love the emblem to have some green, perhaps in the letters it should be enough, and now we must think what to put in the center instead of the coat of arms. I do appreciate all the tips you have given me, now I know how a good emblem must be and thus I will prepare it with as much time as necessary, perhaps one of our clanmates will be able to draw something!

All that 3 out 3 people have said are opinions. The green and blue are fine if thats what you like. Use what you like, if you want to improve it try adding different effects to the coat of arms and see if something pops out to you Edited April 6, 2014 by (PS4)Keiji_Haku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
