I think the website uses a font called "ShadowH1a" or could be the style...  I think the font used would be better as either Arial or Helvetical.

I think the yellow part is a bit too bright - starts with a slightly light green or so.

thanks will check those fonts...helvetica is the universal design font hehe, could be used.
I think the best would be to set a font reference and create a new one over.

yellow part? you mean the background degradee or the yellow cube?
anyway , for the logo, all colors are tuned on an extra layer in photoshop and are very well controlled.
The background degradee is just a test, white seems to put more value on the logo in my opinion hehe

Although not directly related to the website design, by example I think a logo consistancy would need to be transferable in different mediums, such as print where colouring may be limited, like for a buisness card or t-shirt. 

So in this case, perhaps you could post two images? For example a (greyscale) texture map and a (greyscale) bump map for one cube side. This way we could experiment on lighting and animation in code for splash screens. 

Current logo consistency is fine. The original PSD composed can become all needed logos for all mediuns, cmyk print, and so on.
Reduced versions, clean colors ou 2 color mode black or white background is also possible. If such a logo is approved to use, I can render the variations. no prob.

I didn't quite understand what you mean on the second paragraph.
you need the texture +bump of one of the cubes side in bw? I figure you mean to copy it over the other sides and colorize in code?

I will see to bake one of the cubes, have the object, uv bump, uv texture in bw.
I see there is someone on another thread needing exactly this to test  importing and so on of lightwave objects so I may as well have it done for that too.

erico, they are fantastic general designs. Sorry I'm late to the thread.

Although the logo is nice, I've wondered about the concept of displaying the cubes in 3D code, preferably object or light animated. Can what is drawn in paint vector be reproduced, or at least in 2D?

Logo comes out of lightwave 3d as a PSD(photoshop) composition, ground and its shadows comes from another rendered file. This file can become anything 2d, PNG+alpha etc.

I have the object as an object file layered: 5 cubes(each with its own surface name),studio(ground).
They are positioned inside lightwave's layout (scene file). They are lighted there too, mainly radiosity from a gradient background+attack linear light to produce the lighter areas+general areal light to produce depth and shadows.
Textures are all procedural, mainly basic surface settings and a fractal bump map to produce the tone changing sides.

To get to a similar result in real time code, textures should be baked on the poligons(UV), you would have to deal the specular highlights inside the code. shadow too.

what do you have in mind?

Like the logo.
Its certainly eye-catching.  Its probably a bit too bright though.

bright? oh mine, it seems a little dark here actually. Do you mean the highlights?

I Tried to come up with a logo that doesn't look 100% render. Looks a little crafted.
It sure has to be something you wanna touch...
Glad you liked it.

Any suggestions on the font?
Whats glbsaic's original font?

some color test, this could go on forever...
suggestions?

What's MultiplatAform?

those are really special class A platforms! glbasic works with many typos of plataforms hehe

fonts are not the specialty of the house, I was thinking of creating a new one based on the displayed one,
any suggestions ? what about the hyphon? should I use it?

thinking on a page layout + logo that matches it, I came up with this so far...
...platform icons and language, as well as general position of objects will change,
what do you guys think?

I like the new logo idea and the look of the last one although I think it should be like glass.

glass causes refractions, make for more information.
also tryed a smoothed reflection with no transparency, white bkg.

rearranged some cubes to match the original format

PET SHOP VETS hehe

go for "PET SHOP DOCS"
and get it animal skinned.
...perhaps a gameplay update too with some extras.

Can the colour choices for the cubes be changed, or are we standing firm with the original logo colours?
I think replacing the white cube (and perhaps the cyan) with a more colourful red, purple, or orange may look good.

current colors are quite cold and there are quite a lot

I really enjoy PoUET logos, refresh the page and you get a new one:
http://www.pouet.net/

but I guess it's out of the question for this case...

...good references though

I do however think it loses  the simplicity of the original logo.

Could you create a logo that doesn't include the "BASIC FOR GAMERS" sub-title?

the current is fine, I just don't quite enjoy the lettering. All good logos should be reduced to simple black and white shape form. Agree that "BASIC FOR GAMERS" should be gone, better "BASIC FOR LIFE" hehe  but that is redundant with glbasic so none at all is a fit!

I was thinking of a logo to sit on the page's corner. So something a little more spiced up that could fit a new page's visual.

that square is a result for fast placing things, gone now.
this is a more closer to original perspective.

while tunning the new machine, did a glbasic logo.
nothing really useful yet... just trying out fonts and general position/perspectives

...other then building blocks, they do resemble dices too.
