Ah nuts, sneaky means that I went too far with it looking like blood and not enough flag.

 

Maybe it would help if you removed that big part on the left? I think that would make it look more like a circle while still looking like blood.

 

Just so you know, I noticed the first time I saw it that it was supposed to be the flag. I think it's a great logo. Very clever idea.

wow that is nice...what program do you use to make these...do you use gimp?

 

I use both actually. Gimp is my weapon of choice for the main bulk. Ive tried to switch over to Photoshop but something about it feels a bit too heavy, slow and overkill. However it does have one or two functions that you dont get in Gimp such as a text bending. Also I work in 300x300 size and I always use Photoshop to reduce it to 150x150 because Gimp doesnt produce such good quality.

 

I know Ive said it before but I really would encourage more people to give it a shot..

 

Generally all thats needed is a knowledge of the Paths/Pen tool and how to make borders (Right click the layer, Alpha to Selection, Edit > Grow 3 pixels > New Layer > Fill with White using Bucket Tool)

 

Once youve got that down then its just messing around with different graphics and font styles ontop of a corner fade background and once you're done whack on a white/black border and youve got yourself a half decent logo.

Definitely an interesting one. I always wonder with Backyard feds to what standard I should be attempting to make the logo. I try to imagine it as something that would be slapped onto a dodgy underground dvd.. and since you said lime green I went with the toxic feeling.

That's about what I had in mind. Just something grungey and rough looking, which that covers. Thanks.

Request please!

 

Kammy, the amazing overlord of amazing amazingness, I have a request sir.

 

 

 

SAW: Simply Awesome Wrestling - I envision it to be a mix of the giant tana alt with too much stuff in it to do with aesomeness, and the BLAM! you always see in comic books.

 

...I suppose more stuff could be added to it.

Apparently, you shouldnt ever mess with King Shark, Mexico Gorilla and Effete T-Rex.

 

EDIT: Forgot about the shark's mouth.

RE-EDIT: And fixed the nagging annoyance of his left fin.

This is the greatest thing ever made.

 

While putting it together, there was certainly something very existential going on in my mind with the contentment of knowledge that no matter how "awesome" I made it, it would almost never get used. Kind of a one shot gimmick. Still I had fun making it.

When TEW 2010 comes out, I promise you I will most certainly find a use for it. There's already an idea developing in my head for a promotion, with the gorilla representing lucha libre, the shark representing England, and the T-Rex being awesome.

WMD - Women of Mass Destruction. An all-female promotion.. harder edged product, MMA styled with a mix of hardcore. Just to be obvious, I'd like to incorporate a nuke into it somehow (preferably not laying horizontal).

 

Well.. its not exactly horizontal.. but yeah might have gone a bit too babes of sin cityish by giving her the bikini.

I have just sat here for five minutes trying to figure out what to write.

 

This is so totally awesome, we need a new word to describe it,

 

Kudos for defying all expectations.

 

EDIT:I should of plugged myself by asking Kammy to put a Masked Orange in there. Great PR opportunity missed there... tch...

Strangely I pictured them all riding in an open top red Cadillac through the midwest with this song blaring out of their car speakers.

Holy crap a shark wearing a crown! MUST, INVEST, IN, THIS, FED

Was this all an original work or was it pulled from elsewhere?

Nup, not horizontal at all, diagonal is completely okay - and less phallic than vertical :) It definitely does give vibes of babes of (new) sin city, but it is still a very sweet logo.. I just might have to up the T&A content to accommodate for it lol :D

Oh pulled from all about, lots of bits and pieces and changing but yeah I wouldnt freehand those unless I had a spare week to do it in so the main bits had to be "borrowed".

Haha well as long as you're ok to accommodate for my creative fancies ;)
