Logo research

I have decided to do some logo research today. First of all im going to research the nintendo logo. Even though nintendo is the most popular leading games company brand in the world, they prefer to stick to a simple logo which has been around since 23rd September 1889. Ever since then all they have done to their logo over the years is only change its basic colour and odd occasions, the background. It has varied from Silver to Red. Red is their current colour and here is an image of their logo.

The next logo I am going to research is the Capcom logo. The company had this logo in 1989 January. It's a simple yet easy and the colours lock into your mind. This colour scheme of Blue and Yellow have been used in many logos but I think Capcom do it best. Here is an image of their current logio.

Animation Logo

Now I have made my logo and animated it in black and white, I thought I would make it flash only, here is what I have done.


I think I could have done much better but due to the limited time I had left to do this logo I would have done much more, maybe swing the sword around or something. Oh well whats done is done. I will do something like that later on into the project.

Buttons

We have been animating buttons through flash, I have managed to make the animation freeze between frames by clicking the buttons, here is a screen shot of what I have done.

Next we have added text to one of the buttons and played it while adding a scroll bar, here is the next screen shot.

Photoshop video

Here is my first attempt of doing video on photoshop, i have used screenshots from a anime called Bleach. Here is my finished version.

Website Logo

Today we have been researching logos and I have designed one for a website called Tenembra Wasteland. Here is my logo created for the website.

Web research

Here is a website I have found by going on the 99 Designs page. I think this website has good colours, good quality images and very well laid out. Also the logo is well placed and the links are relatively easy to spot and click. The sides that are like a bit of a wooden design go well with the theme of the web page too. Here is the screen shot.

The next website im looking at includes sections which are very well laid out. An easy way to make your way around by putting categories for the blogs. A nice simple colour for the we and uses as much space as possible without making it looked cramped. Here is the screen shot for this one.

Photo Merge

Now we have lent a camera and went on top of the College building. We took about six or seven different pictures and uploaded them onto the computer. We then opened up photoshop and used Photo Merge. Here is my finished result.
