Hi all, I'm working to put together a new site for the Worldforge open-source MMO project (
The WorldForge Project) because, as you can no doubt see, their current site is extremely dated.
One of the things I'm currently doing is designing a basic black and white logo that looks good without any fancy graphical effects. It's quite annoying because I kinda know what I want to do, but it's not coming out right at the moment as I've never been good at drawing basic shapes (and the fact it's an open source project means that there's no money to get a professional in to do it).
So, without further ado, here's what I have so far.
Sadly, as you can see, it's little more than a basic idea. The text's a bit too plain, the ring of the planet is awful (I want it to be a bit more of a stylised swoosh, it looks far too static at the moment) and the planet itself is very...meh. I can't quite describe it, but again it's very static rather than interesting.
So, anyone got any suggestions as to how to improve it? (Photoshop's what I'm currently using even if it does look like MS paint.)
Thanks in advance.
