Competition Score up to $500 by designing RPG Codex' Corporate Branding (Logo & Business Cards) Competition

[FeelTheRads]

Yeah, that's cool. You can even read a message in it:

1. Being sad about RPGs.
2. Searching for incline in RPGs.
3. Fed up with RPGs.
4. Jaesun
5. Becoming one with RPGs.

 

[Seari]

Yeah, I was thinking I would love to see Seari do his version with Insert Coin Scanline for the logo font and Insert Coin for the info text. Cutting and pasting the image at the top of the forum page looks shabbier than it needs to.

Spoiler

There's no lowercase insertcoin scanline for "doesn't scale to your level", so I had to keep it the way it was.

 

[Seari]

6 and 5 have a strange angles for me. For the fonts - you can try Terminal (DOS font) and Fallout-like fonts for old-school feel

I love your stuff, man

I don't really have time to go into a full fledged design of what is being asked for, but here is something that I've been sitting on that might be useful for those of you who are working on this.

This is a codex wallpaper that has been on the back burner for a while as I wanted to come up with some more elements besides just the troll and the answer has not come to me yet:

Here is just the troll:

Here is a zip containing all of the source files including the blender and image files as well as an svg of the text in MCA's handwriting:

Whoever wants it can use it.

Beautiful work Tormented Seph ... I'm sad not to see spaces for name and title though.

2nd row, 3rd column is my favorite backplate.

 

[Gondolin]

Those look so good I want one.

 

[Ismaul]

Tormented Seph
That's awesome! The fonts really fit well.

My fave is 4th row 2nd column. All those on the 4th row would be great for a "back", if the business cards are two-sided.



Edit: Borrowing from that, I'd go with the following minimalist design (excuse my copypasta job). The black space's a placeholder for the Prestigious Codex Member name (+title), maybe the name using a bigger font size. Might also make the Greg Martin thing a size smaller.

 

[Jaesun]

Damn Tormented Seph you are awesome at design.

Yeah, where's my name go...?

just cuz he has many designs don't mean he got good design sensibilities

I could do a bunch a grey ones and shit

fack man mines got color. Give me the brofists

 

[felipepepe]

Choose your destiny!

My pick for best of the show so far. Would just remove/change the troll on the second image. And use somethign less generic than "Level Up!".

This on a rubbery printed card would beat the hell out of Paul Allen's card.

There is a reason why shoes and suits and man wear (exception: the watches that are made by swiss) is made by italians. You give the prejudices justice.

I really like your banners. IMO the KingComrade option doesn't translate to silhouette as nicely as the others.

But your card is busy and garish, and that's not Seph's fault.

 

[Abu Antar]

Third row, first column is nice and simple.

 

[Seari]

It would be interesting to see one where two trolls (one on each side) are holding up the banner. Move the banner higher and place the owned and operated statement bellow the banner.

 

[LeStryfe79]

I like the d20 look more than the symmetrical look. A d20 between RPG and Codex might work though, or even a d20 on either side of it. I don't know why, though, but weighting the card at the right side has a better feel to it.

 

[Zombra]

Eh, holding up the banner doesn't read as well as holding up the d20. In order for it to work at all they would have to be standing on the lower strip instead of standing in 'midair'. But I think the d20 is essential.

Also don't forget the title, it's almost as important as the name!

 

[Tormented Seph]

Trying another combo:

Spoiler

+1 Hating?
+1 Trolling?
+1 Doritos?
+1 Loving Avellone?
+1 Hating Sawyerism?
+1 Negative Karma?
+1 Biowhore?
+1 Old Schooling?
+1 Damage vs Bethesdafag?

I don't know....

 

[mindx2]

+1 trolling is more appropriate.

 

[Seari]

Back to the dice. Insert Coin with smaller text.

Spoiler

 

[Ismaul]

Why settle for +1? It should be over 9000!



Designwise, you could make it match the Codex's subtitle: >9000 Trolling▌

Or even better: >9000 Trolled▌

[Excidium II]

How about you make some wallpapers with that design? Just the silhouette, no text.
