Legacy A Request.

First of all I would like to thank everyone here that put's in time to do this for free, you guys are the best!

I'm looking for something such as a fist clenching 2 lightning bolts that sort of make a cross in the hand (a lot like the cross and bones jolly roger.)

1) What is your website address (ex: http://site.com ; Site Name)?
Currently getting a url, this is a work in progress, my apologies.


2) Description of your website:
The website will be a personal blog with a portfolio of templates I've done over the years.

3) List 3 logo designs you really like & why:

4) Requested size of your logo: Something in the 600x600px I dont really need it to be high res, but good enough for print for maybe shrits.


5) Do you have any images/photos that can be used for the logo? (must be copyright free)

I do not.


6) Any colors you prefer?
A silverish color for the hand, and maybe a light blue for the thunderbolt. Just what ever your artistic eye think's would be a best fit for the bolt, gold/blue. But again, if possible I would like the images to have a web 2.0 glossy look to it.

 

Sounds like a fun request. I'll give it a try, but creating shapes isn't really my strong point.

 

I plan on contributing, would not have asked if I had nothing to offer for the community! But thanks for reiterating it, some folks can seem to forget

 

This is my first try. I took a free fist image, traced parts of it and made my own edits, hopefully that's ok with you as my 'from-scratch' attempts wern't great. The lightning bolt was all me, I wasn't too sure about the colour or amount of blur, so just say if you want any changes. I didn't do the web 2.0 look very well, but I just wanted to show you it so far. Hope it's ok.

 

Small update:

 

Great job Recidivist! Just a few minor changes, First the colors are perfect, just tone down the glow on the bolt a bit (nice effect with that to by the way!) and make the bolt a tad more defined with the image. Very pleased with how it's looking!

Edit; 2nd fist looks even better

 

Are theese better? Cut off a bit that should have been behin the bolt, so hopefully it looks more like it is part of the image. 4 has less blur than 3.

Just noticed I put the blur under the bit I cut. Ill reuplaod. Gimmie a sec.

 

Ok, I've noticed i've fudged up the layers, so I'm gonna redo the lightning bolt and hopefully get a better effect. I should have something for you tonight, if not, it should be here tomorrow.

 

Ok, thanks much!

 

Ok, I had a break and re-did it. Also included one with a sort of background so you can see how it looks on a diff colour. Hope you like it.

Edit: Screwed up the bolt. Updating.

Edit 2: Update the first image. Updating second image now.

Edit 3: Updated second image

 

This is great! Thank you and this will do well! I appreciate it.

 

I tried to attach a zip containg all the files, but it kept failing. Uploaded to my webserver, tell me when you have downloaded it so I can delete it.
