forzare's idea - maybe the 'nation' should be written the other way? it looks like 'noitan' to me too.

edit: no it's right the way forzare did it, the rest of you are messing it up :P

I tried to get it like Forzares haha, I don't know how she did it.

I sort of get what you mean, i'll think of some ideas for now, you're thinking more artistically about it than I was, I was using it as a symbol, not just a background. :P i'll have a think of some splattery things.

lmao, no artistic thinking at all. I just love paint splatters, and will recommend them for everything. :lol:

I like the reflection idea, but the waves just don't fit in with the alternative theme. I would draw a sketch of what I had in mind, but sadly I'm a horrible drawer, even if it's stick figures. But what I was thinking is to bring emphasis on the "nation", maybe placing a world globe behind made of mechanical gears to give it that steampunk look, and surrounded by it is the site's name "alternation"
Kind of like the Universal Studios logo.


it's not exactly what you described, but I did a quick sketch - I had been toying with similar ideas, but I love the gears

I'll do one on computer in a while, it'll look a loooot better as I can use proper images rather than 2 minute sketches :P


alethia, what font did you use? I really like it.

I don't even know, haha. I just opened photoshop and clicked any random one just to give an example.

I'll have a look. It's this; Copperplate Gothic Light.

That two minute sketch is much better than any 30 minute sketch I can come up with :lol:
And this is what I had in mind about the whole globe-gears thing. The font could be different, maybe incorporate Forzare's idea ("nation" reflected below "alter") too.

The cog was inspired by yinfaitl's use of the cog. It looks cool to me, so yeah.

^ I kindddaaaa like that but I don't like that way its all red and the cog doesn't have much relevance to anyone really looking at it.
I'll hopefully be more helpful next week, getting a macbook pro and illustrator which will make things easier, photoshop and my current laptop don't get along too well :P
