New DCEmu Network Logo/Icon - Comp to Create a New one of Sorts

Ive thought about it for a while and whilst our network icon

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/images/logo.gif

pays homage to our Dreamcast Roots it doesnt for the network as a whole, also the uk bit of DCEmu doesnt really need to be there as the site is very much a worldwide site.

So with that in mind id like to start a comp to create a new Network Logo and an icon that best lets others know about us. Theres no easy way to say what will work best, i did have an idea to have the icon on a Tshirt and any sales made be adminned by a staff coder and maybe have a big coders contest out of any takings ?

It would be awesome to walk round with a hip Tshirt that has the DCEmu Logo on it.

The Winner whom i alone will choose will get $150 to spend at GP2x Store.com.

I will answer and give direction on what i would like to see in this thread. Good Luck to all.

Theres no time limit to me to choose the winner, as soon as i see a killer Logo and say an icon that will go on a tshirt in the same theme the contest ends.

That's too bad, because I love the actual logo :(

OMG im so in! XD
Edit: Whats the rules. XD Multi-entries please! XD

edit: hmm. Do we need to include from DC-to-Apple? (PSP Dreamcast Nintendo DS Wii GP2X Xbox 360 GBA Gamecube PS2 Apple)

or only the major brew consoles.
(PSP Dreamcast(?) Nintendo DS Wii GP2X GBA(?) Gamecube(?) PS2(?) Apple)
im not sure if the old ones are still needed though. :P

yeah, it's very good as it is imo..

Yes indeed. I think its still awesome. (I had alot of memories on the logo) :(

But, I really like to enter, as I think it would be fun. :P

i like this logo!

Woah, you can't change the logo. IMO the only better logo is the Newgrounds logo, and that will never change. I'm open to change, but a lot of the time when it concerns looks, it has the opposite of the desired effects.

I think it is still a WIP.

I know, I suck.

Any recommendations?

Gamev8 - I like it alot.

I thought I had fixed that before posting it. Thanks for the heads up Triv.
I like the composition of your logo & the fact that it's not too noisy. What tools did you use to make it?

I used photoshop.

I used the Pen Tool to create the dreamcast. And the text tool.

The whole DcEMU site is kind of basic and to the point. Thats why I didn't add too much because i wanted it to reflect the rest of the site.

Hopefully, my final design will be better :)

9 hrs later and this few posts? :O
Hmm, also still no rules eh.
I got an entry but im still waiting for the rules :-\

edit: nvm

Well as I saw that it seems okay to have multiple entries. Heres my first version. I know the DC spiral doesnt look right but I dont have time to polish it. (Im AFK for the next 9hrs)
Also if you noticed I'm trying achieve the original feel of the DCEMU logo. So people's nostalgia wouldnt be offended. :P

Anyway Ill post more.
P.S. Sorry if it sucked this is my first attempt on doing vector. :(

I thought i would keep it simple while maintaining the network feel, then for the internet versions I can replace the d-cast controller for the diffrent sites. The t-shirt is easily printed (less money to make) yet still looks cool.

Personally I'm with jkkDark on this one. I dont view tradition as a bad thing or something that sould be remembered to a lesser extent.

Okay heres a fanservice entry. :)
This is ideal for those who doesnt want the logo to change much. Hence, it wont offend the memories we had in this site. :D

Like I said I was trying to keep the original feel. So almost no change except only now the following has been added. :)
"Nintendo DS/Wii" <- Mushroom T-shirt
"Apple" <- Earplugs and Ipod touch on the pocket.
"PSP" <- sorry for this but the only way to show a PSP is by the console itself. I didnt want to add a console but I had no choice as there is no logo other that the PSP letters. :(

"Dreamcast" <- well I didnt touched it and I loved how the DC logo was shown from the original picture.

Okay now I'll change the Header. ;)

Count me in.

I felt this site needed a 8-bitish style (Yes i know its over the colur limt) and some cartoonish style, so i came up with this.

You forgot about GP2x ;)

i dont think it should change i love it the way it is, not siding against any of the newer consoles.
just leave it the way it is.
count me out of this comp

So little posts. :-\ I'm starting to wonder if the competition still havent started. :(
Still no post from chief wraggster himself.

You cant sign a logo.

If you win, you aint going to get paid for something that is marked with you name.

(im guessing musta3fil is your other screen name)

*snip*

That's kind of a bummer...I like the old logo. If anything it should stay because the scene isn't half as big as it used to be...pay some respect to your roots, and leave it, I say. If DCEmu because any less of the DCEmu it used to be, then you're just breaking up the scene more..

Also, where is wraggster. :-\

Btw, great logos Buddy4point0!!

Hmm, I feel like entering, but what to make...what to make...
