Are any logos gonna be printed on high res media or something? I don't currently have a way to draw any vector images, nor do I really see a reason why I'd want to bother.

Oh and please nobody use my crappy scribble, even if you try to patch it up, lol. D: Seeing it in high res is embarrassing. I'll worry about trying something proper when the time comes.

you're really good >:[
Cool that you can tell OC from just a few lines, I guess the program does have a certain something about its lines. Can you really tell if I'm any good from a tiny scribble though. ;p

Inkscape is a free vector program. A vector image allows byuu to have access to a high quality scalable version, so in case the original artist disappears he can still easily make different logo sizes for a webpage or something :P

P.S. I could always help out and create a vectorized image, if you don't feel like doing it 8)

P.P.S. This is for fritzroy :P http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C3KXGCC4

Possibly. I don't want to rule that out.

And it will likely become a trend for apps to use vector graphics in the future. Qt already supports it, and with static linking I may very well take advantage of it for release. Eg resize the about window and the image resizes without distortion.

bobthebuilder did an awesome job converting your last one.
If you wouldn't mind making a kick-ass PNG version of someone cool, hopefully someone could vectorize it for you :D

I will probably have to alternate between with and without the character art, as it doesn't fit the 4:1 aspect ratio I was looking for, for website banners and such.
...Maybe I should just stop trying. ;_;
Well, I like the logo to an extent. And I very much appreciate you submitting it. I don't like the "EMULATOR" bar, or the font style. But other than that, every logo you've posted has been almost identical with very minor changes, so I don't have much feedback to give, I apologize.

I definitely find the highlighting on the SFC clove thing awesome.

Can I see a version where you color each letter differently? That would improve legibility, at the moment I'm not sure what to think.
I bring the trouble.

my vote goes to gllt's.

I think it lends itself nicely to creative "refreshes" of the logo, while still being easily recognizable.

I decided to try my own attempt to digitally fix & enhance blackmyst's logo. Nothing fancy, just some re-alignment of the letters and I gave the sword some viagra

Corrected version:

I won't keep telling people not to polish that turd of mine, but know that it's kinda useless because I'll do a fresh one later that's not just a squiggly. :p
