If you like it tell me plz so i can give you the project or i can just modify it

Hoping you like it.
Best regards,
GTOnizuka

A hint to all logo designer (that I have learned just recently, too):
Try to use high contrast colours. If the colours don't differ enough in contrast colour-blinded people won't be able to see a difference in the colours.
Besides from that: I like the design but I wouldn't necessarily say it's better than the current logo... anyway: nice contribution.

With regards, Morten.

I think that is one cool logo. Hope we can use it somewhere.

sethjackson · « **Reply #3 on:** November 14, 2006, 02:20:54 am »

Yeah I think it is cool too.

Game_Ender · « **Reply #4 on:** November 14, 2006, 02:41:13 am »

The colors definitely need to be more vibrant.

Ceniza · « **Reply #5 on:** November 14, 2006, 02:53:52 am »

Thomas was saying something about a "skinnable splash" last time he changed it, or something like that. It'd be nice to have skins for Code::Blocks... but unnecessary of course.

The logo looks cool but it really needs more "vibrant" colours, to quote Game_Ender

The letter's shadow should be reduced, or even removed. It looks kinda fuzzy here... or do I need new glasses?

Yes I agree.

Just a tad fuzzy.

Nice work though I like the drawing.

Ceniza · « **Reply #7 on:** November 14, 2006, 03:24:32 am »

I wonder if it's vibrant enough

Sorry for duplicating your model

Region-skinned

As in "uses CSG instead of alpha transparency"

Also please note that splash screen != logo. The logo is what we use, among other things, as application icon, as favicon, and as an element inside the splash screen.

If you want i can make a new one with no shadow and the pict more glowing with colours

Charon · « **Reply #10 on:** November 14, 2006, 03:54:14 pm »

Yeah, I really like it. IMHO thoose lighten edges shouldn't be soo lighten, but highlight is ofcoz great idea. Charon and GTOnizuka, merge your "projects" and It'll be fine. ;-)
Regards.

GTOnizuka · « **Reply #12 on:** November 17, 2006, 06:54:37 pm »

Hi there,sorry for the later reply but i read all now and i made two other versions removing the buzzy effect on the tags and boosting colours. I also made an another version,hope you like it

V2:

V3:

sethjackson · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2006, 07:00:19 pm »

Very nice. I especially like version 3.

Pecan · « **Reply #14 on:** November 17, 2006, 07:32:15 pm »

Yeah. V3 is beautiful!

Belgabor · « **Reply #15 on:** November 17, 2006, 08:43:58 pm »

V3 looks good, but it seems the vibrancy got tuned down. If you can get the layout of v3 as vibrant as Cenizia's it would be (imo) perfect.

Angelo · « **Reply #16 on:** November 18, 2006, 09:27:39 am »

In my opinion, V3 has too much shadow... or, You could make version with this intensive shadow, but with "glowing" blocks. You know what I mean ?

Although this is a rather nice image, may I ask about its purpose?

Very useful for getting the attention of my snoozing grey haired CB dood friends who haven't updated since 1952.

You was talking about this version?

V4:

Ceniza · « **Reply #21 on:** November 18, 2006, 04:14:33 pm »

Just in case... file here.

Oh, and remove the pie

Angelo · « **Reply #22 on:** November 18, 2006, 10:51:24 pm »

GTOnizuka, V4 is better, but in my opinion there's too much light :-) Maybe you should use, instead of photoshop (I guess) light effect, another light effect ? or some nice looking gradient

? It would be damly nice.

GTOnizuka · « **Reply #23 on:** November 19, 2006, 06:17:45 pm »

What do you think about this one?

V5:

Angelo · « **Reply #24 on:** November 19, 2006, 10:03:12 pm »

Hmmm, I think that the url is unnessesary. Change a little font on the top to be more "pro", you know what I mean ;-) And make more blocks

GTOnizuka · « **Reply #25 on:** February 16, 2007, 09:35:40 pm »

Hi there,long time no posting yeah? I was working for an another version of CB logo, and i'm going to show you and i hope it will be final

I hope you'll like it!

V6(Final?):

See you ppl and tell me if you like or if necessary,about adjustments i can make

byo · « **Reply #26 on:** February 16, 2007, 10:24:47 pm »

Wooow :shock: I must say I like it very much

raph · « **Reply #27 on:** February 16, 2007, 10:59:52 pm »

Wow, looks very good.
Looks pretty professional.
Although I would change the font to a more "serious" one.

sethjackson · « **Reply #28 on:** February 17, 2007, 12:14:36 am »

Nice!

Evil Azrael · « **Reply #29 on:** February 17, 2007, 07:01:27 am »

It looks beautiful, but my first thought was "isn´t that a variation of an old visual studio logo?". I might be dangerous, if the are to similiar.

at first I thought it said VC6 just above the pic. I had the same impression.
But it is very nice though.

I don't like this one. It looks like the aerial view of a bland building complex. It's block overkill, and all of them gray. A good logo should be simple in my opinion.

dje · « **Reply #33 on:** February 18, 2007, 11:07:27 am »

I am very impressed by the result

but I'd prefer shiny colors instead of grey ones.

Beatiful!

Charon · « **Reply #35 on:** February 19, 2007, 03:34:33 pm »

@GTOnizuka:
nice style and quality of the image! but consider coloring a few (or all) of those blocks in the actual Code::Blocks colors. this would fit better with the Code::Blocks logo.

and like others said : please use a more professional font! (even just Arial with a smooth degraded shading beneath the text would look really good)

This one is nice (except text) but it reminds me too much of Visual Studio 6 - so much so I dug into my old software archive and made this screenshot..

Edit: I see I'm not the only one, at least you have a pic to compare now.

Yup, looks similar, especially colours and viewer position, but I thing that GTOnizuka's pic is much better
