Is VRage a fork of the Rage engine? I not, I think you choice of names could be confusing.

No not Id, but there are two game engines called Rage. One is the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockstar_Advanced_Game_Engine (Rockstar Advanced Gaming Engine) and the other is an open source project, the http://www.rage-game-engine.za.net (Rage 3D Game Engine).

It's kind of neat that you're doing a contest for logo designs, but as a graphic designer by profession I find the incentive a bit on the low end. However, this is assuming that you're expecting high quality artwork...

Wow WillyP, very nice.

Would you like to try a version where V and RAGE is one word? You know, VRAGE
So then people intuitively know it's VRAGE and don't think it's RAGE or something else.

But I must really say you logo is professional and great!

Here is my logo idea, also including lame sketch just for the lols. Only made a logo once before in my life, so I hope you like it.
The Idea was to make the connection between the name and voxels, which it's all about. Enjoy, also, there are some pic of some maps I made for Gmod, dark one was never released :(

Edit had to create albums, so I added the map part for those who are interested.

Something to keep in mind when your making a logo, I like to look at logos as a stamp. This needs to be something that looks good on any type of background. Everyone is doing a great job and we have 10 more days until the contest ends. So keep them coming.

Yet another update of my logo, now with a dirty rocky surface and darker, perhaps too dark.
Think I'm gonna change the text, make it white like the Miner Wars logo text.
C&C please.

BTW, how do I upload pictures as tub nails?

Edit.

Thanks man, lol been on this forum for +3month and never noticed the "add file" button :P

Neat submissions~

Many different takes on the whole feeling of the V Rage Engine...

Since it's definition is Voxel Rage, perhaps someone should give a shot at using Voxels to create it...
Eversor's Idea is somewhat similar to this, is where this feeling spawned.

Also WillyP's 1.1 Is pretty neat, Perhaps a Huge V with a rage inside same style would have been what I would have done, but great intensity.

ZeppoMarx's logo reminds me of Alienware's style... ;D

Nah, smells "retro" but meaby.. lets see.
Anyway, i have been goofing around with logos of Corporations and groups that would exist in 2060, based on real mining companions and organizations (like onz).

golden sun is for Space Peace :P
Anyway, do anybody knows if ONZ holds some copyrights over their logos? I used parts of Laurel wreath but i can easilly switch this with something else to "look similar but being legal"

Did i allready said that i'm verry verry sorry for my english? No? So I am :<

When you are choosing a logo, it's important to consider all the ways a logo will be used. It's nice to have a shiny, colorful logo for the web and for certain print applications, consider what happens when that logo is used on a letter head, business cards, or in e-mails. You want to simplify your logo for print applications, yet it needs to retain a strong recognition factor, in other words, if people associate a logo with your brand, they need to recognize the logo in every form it may take. A small black and white logo printed on your checks should be instantly recognized as the same logo at the game start-up screen.

I FINALLY got my emboss tool working to get a sort of metalic-gloss look...
Comments? Suggestions? (Please comment soon I've got a trip from the 25th-2nd and I'll have to submit before the 25th)

Also do you guys like version 1 or version 2 (2 is the one with the added red shadow)

Edit: Keep in mind I'm still working on some of the... uh... 'gunk' artifact crap (ugly edges)

nice looking font. The one thing that stands out to me is that it looks just like a font until you look at it in a larger pic. I think you need to add some kind of shape behind, around it or add a shape to part of it. But as you said its a WIP, It will be fun to see what finishing touches you add. Only five more days, so keep up the good work everyone.

Nice work there ZiggyPox, really liked your engine block logo, the new one is even better.
The V and R sharing bodies is a nice touch, and the round figure reminds me of the big asteroid with some pieces breaking off. Best of luck!

Also like WillyP's logos, my favourite one is the Vrage Logo V2.0, again because it has some destruction and got a worn metallic look. Good luck!

Tribute to ZiggyPox logo, NOT MY LOGO! I just edited it a little.
All credit to ZiggyPox for the original.

Yeah, WillyP Really picked up nice clean cut for the logo (I have strange way of calling things).
I was just kinda, hehe, late about copmetition and i didn't want to copy someones idea (NOT, things just looks obvious after seeing them :P. But i like repeating myself that i just come here later :P).

Anyway i'm just ashamed of myself.. logo shouldn't be flashy and shiny and blinky and edgy, it's not how proper logo should be designed.
My professor would hit me sooo hard after seeing this T_T (he would hit me anyway cous i'm lazy slob :P)

ooh, anyway, Everson would make really nice thing if he would mind o turn his logo into clean hexagon with marked XYZ axis and "vexel" parts falling at some sides (just make it smaller). Isometric pictures just BEG for turning them into hexagons :P

Edit
@Eversor
I GONNA SUE YOU :P
This reminds mi little bit about Quake or some of "first HalfLife logo variations". Adding glov everywhere makes problems with printed materials.. EG. how to put it on T-shirt when machine is ironign pictures with white outline? Annoying thing but important.

Anyway, as i'm looking at my logo right now, i'm starting to see naugty things.. its that only my or i just screw up? :P (nahh, already have a way to repair it)

ps.. i'm really loud mouth with bad grammar XD

Hi ZiggyPox, I'm not sure what you mean with isometric hexagon, do you mean the red, green and blue lines showing XYZ axis? could you make an exsample, just use one of my logos if you need to, I'd like to see your idea.

Edit
Here is the clean logo without any effects.

It's just a concept of aranging shape into something more abstact, with shadows or only with those lines and the failing pieces showing space (and somehow making it look less like bitten cookie :P)

Edit: made hastly by brus bleh..
Edit2: ok, more like new one. Shure it wont work on black, but you may play with it further (like adding dark rombus to kill the feel of "honey company" >_>)

And the biggest problem of hexagens? Honeycomb look that ya need to "kill".

Edit3: Nay, you shouldn't be taking it down. Nothing wrong happend and can be let open to discussion (and my lawyer need to see it thou XP.. ok ok, i'm joking, srsly ;p)

There are about 11 peopl who submitted designs to this contest. Some of them have 3 or 4 logos that are all different from each other. So, how would the prizes be distributed if 3 of one person's designs ended up in the top 5? Would they get all three 3 copies and beta access, or would they be given out to the three that would have been in 6th,7th, and 8th? I ask this, because there are a lot of designs that are really good, but happen to be the same people over and over. So I'm just trying to clear it up, as to whether the final design is the one being officially submitted, or whether they could get multiple designs to win.

Is this the kind of shape you mean or did you mean something more/less abstract?

could you make the gear solid. maybe make it out of steel or rock and then make it have small pieces falling off it. like this one newlogozig.png (look about 15 post above)

I've had a ton of trouble with (creating) metallic looking-materials in photoshop... I could make the gear solid, and maybe with rock & pieces... but I've got to work on it later tonight or tomorrow I've got some other unfinished business.

Edit: Oooh idea... gear shaped asteroids ;D

Ok I just made a really quick unfinished version... is this kinda what you were talking about?

Yes very nice!

Anyway, here's another idea: http://test.rantthisspace.com/vrage/vrage5.html

A screen shot from the latest demo. My idea is to model the word 'VRAGE' in 3d, put the model on an asteroid, the make a video of a pilot finding it. For drama, the word should not be readily readable until the headlights light it up. Then it blows up, pushing the ship into the camera.

Ok before I go crash and burn I'm going to upload the attempted broken up rock... remember constructive feed back is always appreciated :)

Nice logo! It's dirty and... for lack of a better term earthy so to speak. I also like your idea about a sortof logo-movie thing but I don't expect I'd be entering a contest to go model-animate-and display a logo just figuring one out is hard enough!

Zzzzz...

Ok I messed with the settings until I got 2 versions I liked one is beveled for an interesting more 3D effect the other has a few glow/shadow effects:

Personally unless someone discovers a major flaw I believe these to be the final versions.

Late entry, but I think I could give it a try as an amateur Gimp user.

I never got a response as to whether someone could have all their entries being the 5 winners, or whether the best of each person is picked... Cause it does bring up the question of whter one person could get the grand prize 5 times if their entries win all 5 spots. I really would like to know how it'll work, as there ARE people with many entries. :/

I'm sure they select the best entry of each participant, put it in a list then they choose the 5 best in that list.

Winning 5 free copies of MW + 5 lvl 3 medals + 5 beta testing access for one person ? Wouldn't be cool for others.

I'm sure DarkGhost is right. It wouldn't be cool for 1 person to get everything.

Anyway are you guys still arguing Darghan?!

Edit: oh wait there will be 5 winners

I liked Zeppo's work as well. I wish he had more than that 1 submission though I think he could come up with some really interesting stuff! Of course, he would need to be given the time :3 sorry to hear you are buried. I start getting buried Wednesday.

What? Is it 'for those who don't have the beta please send email to ansel.leos@keenswh.com'
I'm confused :3

P.S: when can we expect to see the logo actually in the game?

Oh Also Congrats to all the winners and thanks to everyone who voted for me!

honestly all I've learned about photoshop has come from tutorials online. So if you are using Gimp I'd suggest starting there and looking at possibly glow effects or filter effects... maybe custom brushes too.

I like it. It looks like the Selesnya logo, which I guess was the same organization except it was in a fantasy universe (Magic: The Gathering's Ravnica expansion).

Congratulations to everyone. I would have voted Zev for first place, if I could vote :P.

GJ everyone, been on vacation so I didn't have my computer at hand to finish up my last logo, but I might just finish it anyway and post it here if I get the time.

Darkghost, I use Paint.net, I've tried gimp, but the layout wasn't to my liking. Paint.net however is very intuitive I think, just by playing around a bit I managed to make my logo's without reading any tutorials at all and I have little past experience with Photo shop.

I personally prefer Photoshop, as it can do more (by default) than Paint.Net can do (intially) and Photoshop looks more professional IMO, but I can definitely see the appeal of Paint.Net as it's very adjustable and customizable (whereas Photoshop is not). Other than that, though, the two programs are actually pretty eerily similar.

As for what I did with my logo, I sketched it and inked it on paper, then scanned it and colored and enhanced it in Photoshop, parts of it managed through the process of trial and error, so I probably can't relate how I did what very readily. It was nothing special, though, especially in comparison to some of these other logos. Really kind of surprised it managed to earn fourth. :O
