I’ve been asked to provide logo images as part of a partner signing with a new artist website (more info on that coming later in June). I’ve had the nine-tilted-squares logo since I launched the Zynewave website, but I’ve not had proper logo files until now. This is what I’ve come up with:
Click this link for a zip file with high-res images
I’m interested in your opinions on the logo design. Also if any of you have a graphic tool that can trace the .png files in the zip and convert these to .eps files, I would be grateful if you could email the .eps files to me. Or better still, recommend me some freeware utility that can trace and save .eps files.
I think it looks fantastic.
You can use inkscape (free) to trace to SVG and use easily found freeware to convert from svg to EPS.
Hi Frits,
I like the white text on black background, with the heavier font 😀
Initially couldn’t help but think that the these are quite plain by todays ‘Ray-traced’ standards however after flicking around the net for a while it is pretty clear that brand logos simply need to be immediately recognisable, clear, clean and aesthetically pleasing.
This ticks all the boxes IMHO. Nice!
Ben
My vote goes for the white background. Sorry, I can’t help with the .eps files.

The white and black logo images are actually identical.
I made black and white versions so that partners can use the logos no matter if they use a dark or light page background color.

Errrrmmmm …okay.
BTW, what is with the green square Podium logo on KVR?

That was the original logo I used when Podium was first announced on kvr. Ben apparently keeps it in his database and uses it every time a Podium update is announced.

Hmmm I have Photoshop which I think could do it (.eps files). I have other Adobe apps as well in that ballpark but I am rebuilding the PC I use for Video and Graphics at the moment so I cannot be much help sorry. 🙁
Looks good to me! I like the white one myself, with black text, but I assumed that both were basically a choice for the site, not for us. 🙂
I agree with the comment about Inkscape.
🙂 Just sent over some .EPS versions of the logos Frits. I hope that helps.
I had a look in Photoshop and it can export 3 different types of .EPS formats with further options on top of that! There is a Photoshop .EPS type, Photoshop DCS1.0 and Photoshop DCS 2.0 formats that I can export to, with additional options on Tiff formats e.t.c
Let me know if these .EPS conversions are Ok, if not then if the publisher / website requesting can specify a type, I should hopefully be able to make changes to meet the requirement.
