Graphics / Artistic specialists

Postby Chili » Tue Mar 24, 2009 3:52 pm

Where is good old Ozzy when you need him? (oh I just see you've arrived :D)

Calling all graphic and artistsic gurus out there.

We are in process of website development as per our recent dev blog outlines. We are looking for banners, buttons, logos.. any bits and pieces really. If you have experience with working on website templates even better. Only the extremely talented with godlike powers of visual manipulation need apply... :P

There is an old post around here that sherrec posted with images from old nima site. it may be a good starting point for those interested in giving it a bash... :)

Feel free to post here or email an admin or chat to us in IRC(if your brave enough). Thank you.

I'll be in the IRC most days, for most of the day, so you should be able to catch me. I'll try to answer all your questions and relay anything you have to the rest of the team.

I may have a pop at some design ideas for you. Have some question though.
Are you planning on keeping the same logo, colour schemes?

I think you've got pretty much free range on those fronts... we'll consider everything.
We've had some ideas ourselves so just throw something out there..

Logo Stays. Full stop. We vote on it if we have to, but that logo says NiMa.

The only copy of that logo that we have, that I know of, is that poor quality JPEG at the top of the screen, unless someone has the original hidden away somewhere.

Personally I think a new face would be good for the community. We're not the same Nima we were when we first rolled out the black and yellow and the current logo, and it would be nice to reflect that. That's something that those of us currently lucky enough to be working on this project all agree on.

We have some nice ideas floating around at the moment so please, keep an open mind until we show them to you, mmmkay?

First things first. We have high quality versions of that logo on file Muti. Ask sherrec he has them saved online - see here http://nimaesports.freeforums.org/after ... l-t81.html

Granted we do not have all the old website graphics. So a lot of it will have to be re done.

I am in favour of a re-design of the logo, but not total abandonment of all the previous work done. Perhaps a new colour scheme, but the logo designs are actually very good. I say keep them in some form or another.

Remember at the end of the day it's no single person's decision as to what stays and what goes, we will more than likely decide through the proper channels, be it polls or irc chat etc.

I really like that!

Shows how easily us old farts are impressed! :D

Good work.

I have to say I'd go the other way from you guys and have new logo, but keep yellow on Black. I think that more than anything else is that recognisable "NiMa" look.

well I thought with nima taking another change, maybe the logo is part of the old nima esports/server hosting. just like the change when nightmare freelancer became nima if any of you can remember that change. but even without the logo, you can tell its nima :)

anyway, its food for thaught

This looks awesome, Ozzy! :)

We could "modernize" the old logo: change colours (to Xanas' green for example), make it elliptic - whatever, I'm terrible [s]at doing logos[/s].

A man can be an artist... in anything...

The blue background of the forum works very well as wallpaper, stuff for a download section.

O hey guys!

Sorry to barge in like that, but this seems to be the perfect place to say "Hi, how have you all been?"

Also, I need someone with good artistic skills for a custom logo I need in real life.

No seriously, contact me via PM if you got like a few hours of free time and wanna help an old mate realize his vision. :)

Ahh it's good to see you again Dwork, I couldn't resist logging in to say hey, where have you been and what have you been doing recently? Oh... and by any chance you do have any contact with Deadbolt? :V

Edit: Just noticed Twista here, going to PM him about it. D:
