This one was kind of difficult. The requester didn’t give me much to go on, so I experimented and came up with this. Here’s the request info I got:
i want a logo for my website:
text: gfxchat
font: check website for matching
colour: check website
size: check website
link to website: http://gfxchat.freeforums.org
Like I said, not much there to go by. I had to do a LOT of figuring and guessing. I didn’t really like doing that because I’m not sure if the size is going to be right. The only way I could get the image size was by screen-snipping the current logo from the website. At least the proportions will be right, so if I have to I can scale the image to size later
Here’s the screen-snip:
I picked a new font, something that would take up most of the space allotted. Then I colored it to match the current website.
I really was at a loss as to what direction to take this. I didn’t care much for anything that was already there, like the skull, the lines mirrored on either side. I didn’t much like the font either, to be honest. It just didn’t look like a game graphics forum logo at all to me. So I took all the liberties I could and changed everything.
Here’s what I ended up with:
I surprised myself with the background. It turned out looking like grass squares out of a Top-Down game. The font muscled up nicely thru the same filter, I just needed to reposition it and change the hue and brightness qualities.
That’s pretty much it, besides the trial and error of figuring it all out. We’ll see if larlarkomo likes it. 🙂

Here I added some trees I made really quick. The tree on the left has leaves and the one on the right is bare.
