Nice art, I like it!

Yeah. Really nice job.

I tried it out considering we needed some change on the logo.

Thanks mate!

Looks really nice, IMO.

I have posted some alternates.

Spiralus will also be trying out some alternate concepts, so I look forward to working thru more ideas.

This is the same concept, tdifferent proportions. I'd like to incorporate soldiers for a "commradery" look. I would like guys with light as opposed to the sillouettes, and this is obviously missing text, Just trying to work out the blocking here.

you are my hero! I have no idea where you find the time and skill to make stuff like this!!!

EDIT: By the way, this goes out to everyone making art like this, not just spiral.

I like it spiralus. Is that the map color you prefer? The various map colors give the look different feels as well. Any would be interesting.

It might be nice if we had a total canvas size we could could work within. If you look at the main page banner, we have a lot more room to the sides to extend the image left and right and still be within the FRAME formating for the website.

EDIT: I just tried a much wider banner as a test and it made the frame grow larger while keeping the spacing left/right of the banner image. So the current banner size is probably the limit.

My comp just crashed and I lost my layers on this... .lol
I like the soldiers with the globe and I like the ambiguity of the silouettes (non-game-specific) but I don't know if I'm actually sold on them being sillouettes.... or their positions.... I do like the new proportions of the globe better, and the general vignette set up by the letters/soldiers/globe, that we should keep. In other words, I like that the Title crosses over the globe rather than follows it and that there is overlapping going on.

I went for this globe color because of the 13 patch/seal. I feel like as long as we keep it a preeminent part of the comp., we're pretty confined with that color-scheme.

looks awesome gret work

I feel our Fonts could still use more work as well. This version is an improvement there, I think, but still not optimal.

How about...

Its brill, far better than my old GIMP beginners one lol

Good job!

I like your font, but no italics and outlined instead of drop-shadow. I feel that both italic and drop-shadow almost always look unpro. I also like the overlapping of the soldiers onto the text. What we've got here is good though and I'm 90% happy. Def. improvment over what we had, no offense meant wolf.

Very good. Please check the banner for the changes you suggested.

yup, that's better. What do you think?

I like it. I added a very slight gaussian blur to the silhouette. What do you think?

Wait i dont see any snipers in the picture??!

You mean like this?

My god, that is amazing. We'll get no end of recruits now!!!

I could add the one recon peeking out from behind the 13th patch. One recon per 2 squad team is probably about right.

lol.

Hey, maybe I should put him way back in the map, peeking out from behind Iceland. That would be more appropriate, right?

Another test treatment. Extension of the grid patter to help make a unifying BG element.
