Logo (56kers beware)

[Gooey 0]

Thanx for the feedback. I might have stepped on something here with the whole bufferfly theme

Possible Icon.

the design is nice Gooey, but a bit boring, could you add some color or something?

[crz_06 0]

maybe or the swarm buuterfly thing, you could make something that resemble this images (less fractal, but swarming in a way, and maybe focus more on one butterfly in particulair. Maybe this Main butterfly could have a nice marking on his wings. Instead of eye's maybe a nice µ)

I think we'll be going a little MSNesque if we go there

I'm a simple guy... In the way i like simple things. Black and White = Win.

I dunno..a red gradient looks pretty neat.

that fractal kicks ass. look at how many different butterfly shapes there are.. and it's so close to an actual migration swarm it's creepy..

[Ultima 7]

Really? I've never seen a migration swarm that flew in spirals xD

Honestly, I don't like it very much... looks plain, and everything looks like dots until they're as close as the few closest ones...

[anoxan 0]

well, it does in my world..neat place, you should visit it sometime.

bees look like dots when in a swarm until they're right in your face...

not that my opinion matters much, but I think that we've narrowed the logo choice down to three general choices:

shrill's tribal guy "micro"

gooey's butterfly

BSH's bees

and their numerous varients

thing is, logos aren't supposed to blow your mind away, the product is. logos and names are one in the same. they just have to be unique enough to where people don't have to think when they see it.

I mean, next you guys are gonna want a splash screen..lol

maybe the butterfly isn't the best idea if it reminds people of msn. in which case we have BSH and shrill's original ideas. whatever ludde chooses though. he's the only person that was able to pull me away from burst, so I trust his judgement lol

and ludde, you have guys like ignorantcow and firon to help you choose

yeah, I'm a bit of a scatter-brain at this time of night ^^;

ok just a question and try not to take too much offence to it

are we trying to make utorrent look like it's made my a bunch of faries. i mean don't get me wrong but a butterfly is just not working from my point of view. ok lets see what it can represent. it's small light, and it's flying around. but really i just don't like it as a mascot. and please try not to get too mad i just don't like it

Hmm. I think a hummingbird would be pretty cool. Something similar to the butterfly but with a hummingbird profile instead. Maybe a gradient from green belly at the bottom to blue wings at the top.

[ozziegt 0]

Something based off one of these perhaps:

[BloodStaindHurricane 0]

Check back through the thread and you'll see where the hummingbird idea came up. I might try another one w/ a little more character.

Has a little robot character come up by anyone? When I think of a charcater named "micro", that's what I think of. Something rough, to inspire any ideas>

DeviantART has a similar dude, I don't think it's actually a robot but it's similar (expcept it has hands and no antenna). Looks good though Has that "Cute" look.

[ipunk 0]

Wohhhh!! I recon your onto something here.

Nice job BSH

Micro FTW!!

*edit* Xilon yeah hes called Jark but hes an alien

http://jark.deviantart.com/

Not too much of a resemblance.

@ BSH, I like it and your on to someting and finally 'micro' is included (instead of "you"torrent). Really like the way you have him/she/it positioned, not afraid, but confident. The shadow is a nice touch to it. Now we just how to figure out some additions to make 'micro' look powerful (in the sense that everyday micro is just small, while utorrent is small but powerful), i do not think along the lines of shrills speer or sword, but something more suddle and intelligent/sofistocated.

I doesn't look anything like Jark

[Lucifer 0]

I'm not sure this has been posted before but...

When i think of something small yet powerful, an ANT comes to my mind. Strong enough to take down large enemies like a giant blue poisonous frog (Azureus) when work as a swarm. Hard workers and they take care of each other (not leechers).

[Determination 1]

yeah, the ant has been brought up and dismissed. There's already a P2P program called Ants.

<3 micro

[anoxan 0]

I'm liking the robot..

<3

[Shrill 0]

I'm liking the idea of a robot called "micro" ( µ ). More than the bee or wasp anyway. That's partly what I had in mind with the tribal guy (he was a robot in one version).

[anoxan 0]

indeed he was. any chance of you working on another little robot of your own?

lol, I just remembered hearing about how nanomachines will work together in a swarm of sorts..

[vixenfinder 0]

yeah that robot is sw33t just.

BTW: we are eventually planning to put one of these to use right?

[anoxan 0]

I hope so.. I can't keep using this µ, you know

lol, wee! I got a new car, so I'm a bit talkative ^^;

[boo 0]

vixenfinder, ludde gives very little reponse to what logos he like and what might needs to improve,

so BSH and shrill keep making new logos. ludde gotta give some more input about what he wants.

I want to make a 48x48 utorrent icon, where can i get a decent-sized image of the standard green 'u' icon?

[ScubaSteve 0]

which image would u like to make an icon from ? if its a png u can get a few different programs that convert png with transparent backgrounds to .ico
