Well i made a 140x140 for DoomRL. If you like the concept i can get the rest of them ready pretty fast:
Anyway, the idea is getting different doom monsters at each of the resolutions. I'm also not totally happy with the RL text but it looks ok i think. Maybe a bit darker background as well.
-
DoomGuy needs an "@" symbol on his armor! =D
-
Maybe this (http://img.leprosorium.com/578600) would be better (in terms of "RL" letters)? I don't like L very much, but i have no idea how to make it better.

I think this should be in ASCII ;P

/me took the liberty of splitting the discussion into a new topic
I'd be glad to hear your all comments!
As for me, I like it, although I think it'd need a 66% black 1px border to make it fully cool. Also, on first glance I thought that the archvile was holding the pinkie under his shoulder like a rugby ball :P. The Doomish-hell-on-earth colors feel very nice though.

Ehmm... I was thinking so until you said that he wasn't. oO
-
New version, i'm much happier with the RL letters now, they just needed a new color. I moved a demon and burned a border in.
-
You know, IMHO that 1st logo looked like that Arch Vile was doing... You know what... With that demon. I am glad you fixed that! =P
-
I have an idea for the logo.
On the top of it, there will be of course the Doom RL.
In the back of it, there will be a archvile that is rising someone from the dead, only his abdomen and head is shown (quite a big zoom).
-
Bah, can't really do anything with the 32x32 and 64x64, barely have enough space to write in.
-
Here's one for Diablo see if you like it.
-
I really want to see ASCII or at least an @ symbol in these logos.
I get visions of an @ symbol wielding a shotgun and it just makes my day. Or even a greatsword. But those do look good.
-
Taking the risk that this is nothing of the sort you were thinking of:
By the way what font did you use on the Valkyrie page? I didn't feel like go font hunting this time...
P.S. - The original picture is from Konstantin Vasilyev, 1970

Okay, here's my take on the logos. All of these are my personal opinions, so it's just a suggestion :).
* vector art instead of bitmaps -- simple clean logos are the best
* proper font -- The "Doom" font for DoomRL, the "Diablo" font for DiabloRL, "Anything you want" for Berserk, "Aliens" for AliensRL for Valkyrie and Neko it's kind of open, but rather modern fonts and not classical.
* simplicity of the design -- the less but more accented the better
* PNG instead of JPG. JPG makes a mess out of fine pixel-work D:
* Some ASCII signs, or any suggestion that it's a roguelike would be cool
My takes on the look of the logos:
DoomRL - The original Doom logo with the RL letters. Maybe just a hell landscape instead of characters, maybe use Derek's sprites for the logo. Maybe some ASCII ( doomlogo2.jpg looks the best IMHO, but the Bevel should be smaller, and the letters looked better when they were gold (better contrast) )
DiabloRL - here I'd definitively go for the Diablo logo with an RL over it, and a part of a ASCII map with an @, some floor and a few monsters below and in the background.
Berserk! - there's only one thing that can be on a Berserk! logo, and that's the mark of Sacrifice ;).
AliensRL - should probably be just the name similar to the title-page, on a black background.
Valkyrie - I don't have any particular ideas here, but probably only some symbolic art, not images. Colors -- black and blue
Neko - as the name implies the logo should be a cat >^_^<. And I'm definitively sure it should be Kuro-neko-sama from Trigun -- probably just his characteristical face. ( for those who don't know what the hell am I talking about : http://hagure-metaru.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/kuroneko-sama.jpg )
P.S. Of course everyone is welcome to try doing logos :D
-
"Anything you want" for Berserk
Pretty sure the Berserk DVD's I've got have a specific font used in them. I'll see if I can track down something similar to it...while I'm not looking at Neko's code. >.>
-
Dervis, I think that the logo should have marine in it, but think of different monsters/positions - that with Arch-Vile and Demon is not balanced in my opinion - I feel that there's too much empty space in the middle - maybe put cyberdemon near the center of logo and marine on the right side like it were :) And letters are good I think.
-
As for Neko library, it just gained a logo, made by myself :):

Would not Neko Case face be better as a logo? :D
