Idea: bsnes logo contest

gllt · Post by **gllt** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:49 am

Illustrator is a pain, I will give it a shot later unless I'm beat to the punch, but how about making a selection in Photoshop, turning it into a path, and then exporting that to illustrator

not that that would be any better but the results may vary

materials not included, must be 18 or older to register, Hawaii and Alaska are not eligible, ingredients must be kosher, valid until 6/1/09

mail your entry to G.B. 2 Bed Garfield, Santa Ana, California

in other news, have you thought about a matching 16x16 and 32x32 icon yet for kicks

Good idea, but I just tried and got jagged edges.

Are you using CS2/3/4 or a classic like Photoshop 7

I know at least CS3 has Selection > Refine Edge

EDIT; just realizing that MIGHT NOT HELP MUCH huh

All CS4.

But yeah, refining the edge wouldn't help since it's already smooth edges.

Converting a selection to a path just doesn't work that well, I guess.

CS4 is too much of a load for my CPU and I got used to CS3 after a while, though my first was Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 and I use Paint.NET for quick stuff involving transparency and crap

either way I think the convert to path has a tolerance setting, though I'm not sure if when the path is export to illustrator it would make a difference

Smell-o-vision plz.

I remember an article in Dreamcast magazine about smell-o-vision. It was so close to hitting mainstream!

reminds me of walking into like a walmart back in 99 and there was a dreamcast and a playstation on display next to each other.

This lady and her kid come up and are looking at it, and asked "so what is this" and I explained it was a new system made by sega, and she asked "so is it better?"... I looked at her, looked back at the kiosks, then back and her.

"well... yes it's a faster machine..." looked back at the kiosks, and then at her again, my head screaming "HOLY SHIT ARE YOU BLIND!"

I believe soul calibur was on display for the dreamcast and ape escape was on the playstation.

people never cease to amaze me.

I bet they never touch those machines to find out which ones they like better.

I had a lot of fond memories of my Dreamcast. It was a fantastic system for its time, and I was very pissed off when Sega wimped out on it. I remember hooking it up to my monitor to play Code Veronica and being blown away by the visuals.

How can anyone forget Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventure 2, Ikaruga, Shenmue,Phantasy Star Online, playing Quake III online without lag against PC players with a 33.6/56k modem, the amazing emulators (NesterDC SE, DCgnuBoy, DreamSNES, Bleemcast), the Dream Passport browser (with its wonderful MIDI player and built-in Genesis/TurboGrafx emulators), DCPlaya (a custom script-based operating system with a media player),the marathon sessions of Chu Chu Rocket,Samba De Amigo and Bomberman Online,...

I like the one without candy coating the most so far.

Here's another style..

I think the logo should be a bull.

BSnes.

gllt · Post by **gllt** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 3:16 am

I though that too for a moment lol

but I think it should be a Bee, and move the color scheme to yellow/black or integrate those colors in some fashion, perhaps for the b color

Alright then, guys. Here are my final two images, unless somebody can come up with a mind-changing suggestion.

Hmm, bsnes = snes emulator. Saying bsnes emulator is like saying Bob eater instead of Bob the eater or eater Bob.

Gleasonator, can you fix the top of the b? the top of the curve is thinner then the left/right of it making it appear disjointed.
