Hey guys,
Still continuing to raise the bar.
@loicatraile - I love what you are doing with the shapes you are working with - you've found an insight on how to make these two shapes to relate to each other, I'd only want to encourage you to keep playing with it. Some ideas, if they help at all:
- The hexes you're using have a really nice, subtle dimension to them, maybe think about how that could also be expressed in the dimension of the H character - I can see you are already playing with this, they look a little like they live in two different dimensions - their depths don't 100% correlate at this point (I have no solutions, I only offer nit-picking
)
- Perhaps look at the contrast in the greys of the hexes and the dark grey of the edges of the H character - colour wise, do you think these might be able to meet in the middle somewhere while still making the H the part that draws attention?
- Just to put it out there - I love how you are using the segments of the hexes to create the H, part of me would like to see you lose the three hexes on the top right and work with the core seven hexes - that's obviously the heart of the shape, I'd just keep playing with it man and feel free to keep showing us any ideas.
@loicatraile again - back to your earlier post (Mar 29). I'm glad you made it here man, I was thinking that there were some designs from the announce thread we were missing, thanks for posting them.
To back up keccak512 and delusiona1 - I also think this design rocks. It's the sort of design that if keccak picked it tomorrow, I'd be 100% cool with it. Solid job, looks great.
Two questions for you:
- With asymmetric designs, I'm always tempted to flip them, just to see what it looks like. For your design, I'd be curious to see if flipping it horizontally adds anything interesting, or makes an argument one way or the other which works better. This design in particular, I was thinking that the lines extending to the right currently might be interesting coming from the left instead - this, typically, adds some idea of motion. (FYI: I already did this to your logo and left it up on a screen for a few hours. I came to the conclusion that I prefer it how it is already, but might be an interesting thing for you to try)
- How would this look as a favicon.ico? How much detail can we keep at that size?
In any case, it's great work man. What fonts are you using for the Heavy coin text?
@CoinExchange - dude, you have taken this design so far, really, well done.
- this is more subjective then any sort of design flaw, I personally lean toward the straight H more then the curved ones, and I also like the floating horizontal line in your fourth version (the straight H one). Either way, you're showing that iterating your ideas brings in a shit load of positive results.
- ok, if you're up for it, a challenge to you: just as a thought experiment, would you like to pick one of your concepts and show us the most abstracted version of it? It may open new ideas or otherwise re-enforce the elements which are most important to the shapes you are using. I'd be interested in seeing it.
@sudukkk - 100% agree, anonymousxx1503 is kicking ass with his design.
@anonymousxx1503 - if you see this, the last time we talked you were going to play around with the outer rings of the design, I'd still be really interested to see what you do with it.
If you feel like it, keep the iterations of ideas happening (I'm looking at you, gitch212, Unpropitious, mymenace and pipipipopopo - if you feel like playing with your ideas I'm all ears).
Quick quote from Stephen King that I always like to keep in the back of my head when doing anything creative: "Kill your darlings":
