Sparda Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Don't make Alli cry again On a unrelated matter: You might also want to consider not leaving uSteam on all the time... or putting a "uStream" warning sign on the door of the room the uStream camera is in. Also 19:00 EDT would be 11:00 GMT+1(?) the same day (either way, it's still 8 hours behind Hak5House time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 If you have a better logo idea drop me a line. I'm not feeling uber creative on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor512 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 it would be cool if they made the letters a little 3D :) almost 3d letters :)Â http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/860/logotestgq6.jpg http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/7182/hak5logotest3vg7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 In Darren's logo, the word "live" should be moved to the side. It now looks like the I is dotted, which is just plain wrong. In Razor512's logo, the "live" bit is missing, and I feel the letters are too thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickarse Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I like that design, it's clean yet dirty. But you gotta kill the second nav... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 The site is now over at http://hak5live.org I'm still working on the site. Currently I'm battling with a javascript snippet that supposedly counts down time until event while adhering to timezones. Most other javascript timers use the clients local time, which isn't worth jack in this case. So far no dice. Oh well, I'll keep on truckin along.

digip Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I like the new logo/header image. Its a welcomed change, but maybe the color scheme is a little to white on white. Maybe darken the text a little more so it "pops" or add a beveled effect to the text so it stands out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Big improvement there, digip, but I still feel the word "live" should be moved a bit so the dot in Hak.5 doesn't look like a misformatted dot for the i in live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I couldn't exactly move it since I used Darrens original jpeg. If I had the PSD or layered image I could have seperated them better without messing up the background.

Darren Kitchen Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 http://www.hak5.org/temp/hak5livewallpaper.rar of course you'll need the standard hak5 fonts, found at http://wiki.hak5.org/wiki/Goodies#HAK.5_Fonts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 http://www.hak5.org/temp/hak5livewallpaper.rar of course you'll need the standard hak5 fonts, found at http://wiki.hak5.org/wiki/Goodies#HAK.5_Fonts Ok. I have three edits so far. These are not perfect, but just playing around with the fonts a little. I will post links to them instead of the images to save bandwidth on the post since I saved them at full compression, there about 500k a peice. I also reuploaded my changes in the psd file(as a rar file). http://www.twistedpairrecords.com/digip/pi...erdigipedit.rar http://www.twistedpairrecords.com/digip/test1.jpg http://www.twistedpairrecords.com/digip/test2.jpg http://www.twistedpairrecords.com/digip/test3.jpg Let me know what you think. Anyone not happy with them, let me know what you would like to see moved, changed, etc and I will change it. The PSD file has another layer I was messing with that isn't in these 3 versions, so if you wanted to experiment, or see what else I worked on check out the rar file. The one not shown was the Hak5 Logo with some persepective tilting but I wasn't happy with it and it didn't seem right to mess with the original look of the Hak5 logo, so I left that one out.

Darren Kitchen Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 While those mockups look great one of the key things to keep in mind while doing logo design is to keep it simple. Gradients and small detail are cool, but later down the road they'll come back to bite you in the ass. Vector is key, small color pallets help, and aspect ratios like 16:9 or 4:3 are good rules to follow. It becomes apparent why these rules are worth following when looking at your newly resized logo on the iTunes podcast page, all teenty tiny in a little box. Or when printing t-shirt designs and seeing the cost of full color printing, if you even have it in a vector format. The one I'm working on right now looks like this: www.hak5live.org/temp/hak5live_logo.rar It's not great, but it doesn't make me want to puke either. Still, could be much better.

cooper Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Let me start off the 'bashing' by saying the word "live" should use the Copystruct font. Or something other font, like xxii-scratch or maybe even this one, slightly tilted like it's been stamped on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
