[BLOOD_kane]

I was thinking more of a "EQEMu, You're in YOUR world now!"

[BLOOD_kane]

This is what I settled on, do we post them here or send them to /dev/noob?

eeeeeeeeek sorry /dev/n00b I know I should have done some research before asking aye.... =(



sorry... :cry: but all I see is Posted: 03-09-84 01:48 PM

[Shawn319]

there i compressed and resized my pictures in the post, with a link to the full one.

[ddragonat]

/dev/n00b, looking fer anything specific? I can do just about anything (except 3d rendoring)

[devn00b]

Examples of yer best logo's for eqemu. (logo's usualy arent large).

lets say i wanted to make a coffee mug or a t-shirt...(hypothetical)

go nuts!

[ddragonat]

Aight, what color? And do you want any pics in it? All of dis is important to me as a GFXer =P

[mattmeck]

Aight, what color? And do you want any pics in it? All of dis is important to me as a GFXer =P

Its a contest, do your best, there not going to say what they want cause if they knew that they could make it themselfs.

[Shadow-Wolf]

http://www.geocities.com/fieryrawr/priceless.bmp err kinda messed up at teh top but i beleive its good

[mattmeck]

We're sorry, but this page is currently unavailable for viewing.


on that last one

[a_Guest03]

Copy the link, and paste it into the location or address bar. Add a space at the end. Hit enter. The picture comes up. Geocities is blocking image linking.

Took me like 6 mins, figured I would show it though.

Thought it'd be funny to add something :roll:

[Shadow-Wolf]

i dont think its funny, seems stupid to me

[mattmeck]

I am seeing some matrix stuff some vampire stuff, some BS hand drawn stuff, I think those people should be disqualified.

[ddragonat]

BTW, how does everyone thing my logo is?

[Fire]

It's nice ddragon, and mettmeck, give it a break man, we are only getting creative. If I had used something like a dragon, or something -you- personally liked, you would have not said one thing.

[Voldmort]

Its not much because i suck at PSP (what i used) feel free to give me pointers on what to do to make it better or if you like it or not! 8)

[Voldmort]

ok 2 more but they are the same just seconed one is more centered.

http://www.geocities.com/fieryrawr/yourrules2.bmp
both are using transparent btw,

remember to view copy into browser and add a space to the end and hit enter....

so what do you guys think of my stuff so far?

[Voldmort]

its nice. Iiiiii like it! :D

[Shadow-Wolf]

err nm

[ddragonat]

Vold, I have one problem with your logo, you didn't make the abstract..... as well as didn't use it well and blend it in with some sort of effect.

EDIT: I agree on the matrix crap, that takes litterily 3 seconds to make, and no effort is in it. The vampire stuff is fine, it's a cutout, period. Nutta wrong wit dat.

[flyrken]

The whole world is a critic, :roll: when you have children you better learn to lie :P (Daddy loves your artwork, he didn't mean to throw it in the trash, it fell off the refridgerator..) :lol:

Anyway here are some more entries.

This thread is going to get huge with submissions, methinks.

EOF

[flyrken]

Voldmort graphic is nice, all I think it needs is some work with the lettering. ie Shadow or Outline, the graphic is full of candy but the focus of the text doesn't stand out. (Good Job) That would make a good header on a website.

I like Shadow's simple slogan saying/tagline, reminds me of simple logo's, trademarks (eg. IBM, OP, etc)

Not to be too harsh on the full graphic submissions (normally they appear on the back of a tshirt. I think dev/n00b is looking for a trademark/logo that appears over the left tit. (using OP "Ocean Pacific" tshirt as a cadaver/example.)

Simple logo's exist all over, and color is not too important.. (it can always be changed.) eg. Sun
http://www.sun.com/im/sun_logo.gif

All of my submissions are opensource, copy them, keep them, before they go away ;)
EOF

[ddragonat]

Aight, Im mr critic, so Im gonna do what I do best.

Voldmort, it's all over the place. Scrap the background, cuz you didnt make it (It's from a result of a tutorial on a site, it requires 3DSM), make something new (something liquidy), get rid of the whole fire thing and black bar, and change the rainbow text to match the main color.

Flyrken, it's pretty good, nice orby style. The top design is nice, but the bottem is just too "plain". BTW, the transparency is screwed becase you forgot something (I'll tell you later if you can't find out).

boucoune, I have nothing to say, except hillariously funny =P

[mattmeck]

Watch out when offering your opinion or you may offend Fire :lol:

The originality thats starting to be seen now is great, keep them coming.

[ddragonat]

Watch out when offering your opinion or you may offend Fire :lol:

The originality thats starting to be seen now is great, keep them coming.

Im seeing a bit of originality, but some people are using similar quotes etc.

Other than that, its pretty original compared to what Ive seen =P

[BLOOD_kane]

Im cooking up a few more idears myself :)

[ddragonat]

Im cooking up a few more idears myself :)

Id like to see it, BTW, like you entry, but you should make it one color theme, turn the green into red, =P

[BLOOD_kane]

true, too many bright colors sometimes throws people in to epileptic fits...gotta keep reminding myself of that lol.... :shock:

[Fire]

No matt, it's just my vampire idea was quite original, nobody else did it, and in the ruins of kunark box, inside, left side of the flap it says, "Give to loved ones only if you never want to see them again." Basically, it drains your day away, so I just edited that for my little 'quote', to say.

[BLOOD_kane]

here are some newer ones (NOTE: I am not the greatest guy at thinking up a catch phrase so this corny one will do for now ;) )

not to be uh well rude and all but Slippyroot's looks like he took some of Woody from http://www.gucomics.com work...unless he had a commission done by Woody, he cant really USE that artwork in anything and I would hate to see EMU in battle with Mr. Hearn over the deal. Just thought I would bring it up :?

Nice banner d_skywalk, you and me gotta talk somewhere =P

Oh BTW, I forgot the PW to my hosting, so I can't submit another entry till I find one.

[x-scythe]

ddragonat, arent you a little full of yourself?

[BLOOD_kane]

well he is full of somthing alright :wink:

[Lasiel]

D_Skywalk>ddragonat

Can't even compare the 2. D_Skywalk's is far superior in design imho.

[a_Guest03]

I like RippaN's and Flyrken's best so far, with Shawn's in a close third (the raging armored man).

[Veragoan]

Here is mine (i can make it smaller if its good enough) (http://earth.prohosting.com/veragoan/eqemulogo.jpg)

[farce]

Here's my submission:

It goes along with the new layout I did for the eqemu web site which you can find here (http://ppweb.tamu.edu/~vinson/eqemu.html).

farce

[BLOOD_kane]

thats a nice webpage banner ther farce

D_skywalk's though is the best imo

and what does Sephiroth have to do with EQEMu? :shock:

[just_add_water]

Rules:

1) nothing tacky or distasteful.
2) nothing HUGE.
3) must be somewhat EQ/emu related (ie no matrix quotes or whatnot)



Hmmm.

[Arkilian]

whoops, i musta read it wrong, thought u wanted a logo type deal.

But i guess your looking for more of a graphical header?

[flyrken]

What was the point you were trying to get across about logo's?

[Wiz]

I am quite fond of Skywalk's. Also, I think we should disqualify ddragonet on "God, let's not encourage that ego" grounds.

:P

With the idea of a header logo in mind, tried to make something fairly simple and small.

I like Skywalk's too, Hell, he mind as well be the winner. Very impressive.

[Doodman]

My favorites so far are from D_SkyWalk and farce. Although, farces is more EQEmu related that D_SkyWalk's.

And honorable mention (as it would be cool as a chest-pocket logo on a shirt) RippaN:
http://w1.261.telia.com/~u26120097/eq/eq4.jpg

I agree frace, skywalks and rippan's are the top 3

haha...I know this is off subject but that pic reminded me of a pic I saw back when only EQ Classic was out. Someone modified the OG FV picture loading screen to show a FEMALE TROLL in FV clothing instead and called it Trolliona Vie...heh

Uhm, well, so is the game code that EQEMU uses, but that hasn't stopped anyone yet. :roll:

But, to allieviate the legal implications of using copyrighted material:

This has been covered many many times, go back and read where this has been discussed over and over again, because that coment shows you do NOT know the law / have a clue what can and cant be copywrited, OR hhow this EMU works, cause the code here is written by the Devs not SOE.

Okay, I may be wrong about copyrighted material. I was jesting about how people using EQEmu could complain about using EQ's trademark. But since you want to play holier than thou, try checking out the EULA which states:

7. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we hereby grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Software solely in connection with playing the Game via an authorized and fully-paid Account. You may not copy (except to make one necessary back-up copy), distribute, sell, auction, rent, lease, loan, modify or create derivative works, adapt, translate, perform, display, sublicense or transfer all or any portion of the Software. You may not copy any of the written materials accompanying the Software. You may not reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile the Software except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law. The Software may contain license management software that restricts your use of the Software. .

Things that make you go, Hmmmm....

I personaly dont have an active EQ account which means i dont click I agree to that ever, so that dont mean anything at all.

EULA != Law
Agreement != Law

If you violate this agreement, they can revoke the "non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Software solely in connection with playing the Game via an authorized and fully-paid Account".

Plus, technically we are not reverse engineering "The Software". We are reverse engineering the software that "The Software" talks to.

I degress. I posted my modified logo which took out the offensive logo. Done.

I'm a newbie to the forum but have been familiar with EQemu for some time. Anyway, for what its worth, I agree that using the actual EverQuest logo is only asking for SOE to turn their attention here. While they may "allow" EQemu to exist without hassling users to much, SOE may get a little testy over actual use of the logo.

It is interesting to note the following points since some hypocrisy seems to be happening here (ie using a program to emulate a server but worry about logo trademarks).

Obviously many of you don't know the law. By agreeing to the EULA (whether at installation or each time you play the game), you open yourself up to at the least a civil suit should SOE choose to press any violations. Now I don't really think they will unless there was a need for public relations, but here is where EQemu was in violation from its inception:

EULA
=============
9. You may not use any third party software to modify the Software to change Game play. You may not create, facilitate, host, link to or provide any other means through which the Game may be played by others, such as through server emulators. You may not take any action which imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure. You may not buy, sell or auction (or host or facilitate the ability to allow others to buy, sell or auction) any Game characters, items, coin or copyrighted material.
=============

You can say what you want about the way the software is engineered or designed, but the fact is that an emulator is explicitly prohibited in the EULA. It just doesn't get any plainer than that.

Also, you have used the word "EverQuest" at least once on the home page without the trademark symbol, and I'm sure in other places as well. If you want to check the trademark registration status, then [click here (http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=bm0bf0.6.15) ]. There are also several images from the game in the form of characters and such that are the copyrighted works of SOE as artistic works. Generally, SOE doesn't say anything about using them on websites and such, but they may have a different attitude if EQemu uses them directly in a logo or any derivations of them.

Now, do I really give a damn about all this? Nope. Do I think SOE really gives a damn about EQemu? Nope, unless a mass exodus to players took place, OR users began to complain and post on the SOE tech boards, OR users made jest of the fact that EQemu used a similar logo. Does my opinion really matter? Again, nope not in the least, but I thought I'd offer it anyway just for conversation.
