Hey all. I was wondering if someone would do a logo for me. I'm not sure how tricky this would be, but I'm guessing it's probably not too easy.

I want a brick wall with the text "The Fallen" in some crazy grafitti writing. Like, the amazingly good stuff you see sometimes on train cars. Text should involve green and blue, both the pure colours, not like a navy blue or neon green. Size should be around 500x100, although I'm not very picky about it. If anything, though, I'd prefer to have the width shrunk a bit.

Thanks a ton in advance for anyone willing to try and help me out on this.

Not too bad. I got a few suggestions, though.

1. A tad brighter would be nice
2. Maybe give the wall a perspective, like your viewing it from an angle and not straight on.
3. If you could possibly make the last 5 or so pixels fade to the hex colour #7C7C7C, that'd be great.

Thanks.

Just a minute...hold that thought...

I had an idea, so I'm trying it out.
What I'm thinking of doing is the grafitti writing on a wall looking at it from an angle. The hard(er) part that I don't think I can do is I'd like to see a sidewalk, then the road, and a streetlamp just lighting the side of the text.

I'll post here a bit later.

Ok, I made my mind up.

If you could do what I said to Version 3, that'd be really handy.

Sorry to say this but I was using a trial version of photoshop and it expired today. So it may take some time to get the logo edited to the way you were looking at. I am excited to how it will look. If you don't mind waiting I'll get it done or I can supply the psd file for somone else to do it for you. Your choice.

No rush. It's for a secondary theme for my site.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting a prototype for a week.

Yeh I've tried that and it didn't work.

No, software developers with half a brain have figured out most of the ways of preventing stuff like that. Usually if you switch the date any time during the trial period the trial period ends, because their records don't match up.

Ok problem fixed. And here's what I got hope it works for you. I was thinking of making it darker and adding somwhat of a spotlight on the word but I let that be up to you.

If it's not too much trouble, that'd be cool. Otherwise, don't worry about it. It looks great.

This is what i came up with:

As you can see, i got inspired by Falconis25 a lot.
The trouble is the only way i can create graffiti is through using fonts as i have no talent at drawing real graffiti and thus very intricate work can't be expected.

I'm not saying this is even good, but would a border or something make it better?

Ok I got four results one with an animation of the light flickering and the other with just the spotlight. Here they are. And the other two the light is positioned differently.

That's really cool. I'd probably make the spotlight a bit wider so you can see the whole text, and fade it a bit more at the sides.

EDIT: Can I maybe see it as well without teh spotlight at all and have it all light?

Out of all of those, I'd choose the third one, but I'd change it so the edges fade away, so it's more like a streetlight.

I like the way you actually give me some response to work to. Only through cooperation can we reach a perfect solution.
Most ppl at the forum i've made sigs to (altho i have seen none used :P ), didn't do that.

Current versions, then:

New streetlight:

No streetlight:

Plain version:

NB: The directories the files in vary a bit. Sorry bout any mess that could create. Just rightclick and check properties and stuff.

Those are great! I've gotta now make a new theme for that logo. I'm very happy with the outcome of those.

That'll make 3 logos for my site: yours, mine, and Falconis's.
