This thread was opened to gather some ideas for an intro logo animation for youtube videos and stuff like that.
I reuploaded some things to keep it save.

If you use this for your own video, it would be nice to mention me in your credits as "Intrinia Solutions".

Using this video in Eduke32 as intro animation

http://intrinia.de/stuff/duke/logo.zip

How to install:

* download logo.zip and put it into your autoload folder of eduke
* start the game like this: eduke32 -mx logo.con -mh logo.def (or create a .bat file in your eduke folder with this in it...)

OR:

* add this to a .con file that is beeing loaded at startup: include logo.con
* add this to a .def file that is beeing loaded at startup: include logo.def

Wow, this thread sucks.

TX and I talked briefly about revising the EDuke32 logo. Same concept, more modern. That should be done first. SVG mandatory.

[DavoX]

And here I thought there was a cool animated logo waiting for me

I made this for Polymer not to long ago and posted it in the Community Stockpile.

Need to fix the smoke layer on it though sometime.

[The Commander]

There is no eduke logo on it...

The setup is pretty badass. Love the Duke quote and the use of Daidoh for text.

This is the first time I've heard the phrase "Powered by Polymer". I'll put out there that the vid should probably say "Powered by EDuke32", but Polymer can still be mentioned. Something like "Featuring the Polymer Rendering System". I'll ask Plagman if he has any idea for a "Polymer logo".

Could you share your source materials with me? It has much potential.

[Gambini]

The video should play at 10fps and have two or three fullstops.

Eh, I was sharing it more as an idea. It's in the neighborhood.

I'll collect the stuff and send it to you soon as I can.

[ReaperMan]

I'm going to give the animated eduke32 logo a try as well.

Also, how about a mascot. We could have the eduke32 Sandwich.

[Hendricks266]

We have a mascot. His name is Duke Nukem.

The sandwich is a lie!!!!

[Cage]

Here's my proposal:



Not sure if I'll have time to do a new E32 logo, but I could surely animate it (Heck, I did work on motion graphics for a while)

Cheers

[Hendricks266]

Mmm, that's good. Got an SVG of it?

Here are the full rules for EDuke32 logo submissions:

1. It must be in SVG format
2. It must be involve a nuke symbol
3. It must be the same shade of blue as the current icon

[blackhatred]

Please rename this thread to "You won't see any logo here but we can speculate about it"

[Cage]

SVG's are attached.

_grey is the version as previewed, white and black are on a transparent BG.

Oh, and those are in RGB colors space, I thought you're more likely to use them digitally than in print

I admit I didn't put that much thought into this design, Polymer logo is a lot better.

[Fox]

It's not bad, but using Megaton font is very uninspiring.

Thought it could be a nice tie-in at first, but I'm having second thoughts myself. Especially, since that font isn't designed that well.

We actually use that font currently in the startup window and on the site, as we have for like half a decade before Megaton was released. We just lowercase and italicize it.

By the way, I REALLY like that gear logo...

This looks like a logo of some Hospital. Not good for this game, IMHO.

[Hendricks266]

I think the gear needs to be flipped vertically.

[Fox]

I think the gear should have 16 (or even 14) teeth, but not 13.

[neoacix]

I also like the idea with the gear!

Give it a metal texture, put in some glow behind the logo, make it dirty and then, I think you will like it.

All of those things would be counterproductive to modern logo design.



Our current logo suffers from shading gradients everywhere and excessive lines that clutter it. Not to mention that it was done in PSD paths that have eluded my attempts at a proper SVG export.

[Hendricks266]

I tried to get vector text as close to the text in the startup window as I could. http://hendricks266....ext_20140106.7z



It's the text on the top. The font is Daidoh Round Remix. I couldn't figure out the border in vector though. The "stroke" functionality is not what I was looking for.

You may be right for logo design, but in a video it might look awesome!
Otherwise, I don't like the "less is more" style of logos today very much.
Best example: Microstoft Windows 8...
I liked the Windows 7 Logo much more, but that's just allways a question of taste...

[neoacix]

I started making a 3D-Version of Cages "gear"-logo.



Also I rendered a short video for prove of concept...
