Title: *BBS Banner Logo Contest*
Post by: yksehtniycul on August 17, 2008, 05:07:59 AM
Submit your BBS logos, the winner gets their's used!

In the case of a tie, I'll setup a rotating banner.

I suggest something very simple and generic. A Jackfrost or Kerberos silkscreen graphic for instance.

Whatever we get, I'll rework the design so it meshes with the overall bbs theme presentation wise.

So try not to worry about the colours or style too much.

I'll probably just copy the lettering off the main page, but we need an icon of sorts.

Good luck!

edit: Ok, I did my best, now I'm beat...

I'm reminded of a baby Jack Frost on the banner...

What do you think of this 2?

I have another idea in mind, but I cannot make it happen, I'll keep trying anyway ;)

Well it isn't actually a context per say... unless you consider my entry above (on the current banner the competition)

I'm just interested in creative ideas. I recommend sticking to photoshopping official/professional artwork. It has to look iconic. The Jack Frost I used is from the Persona sprites you ripped.

Personally I think I'd much prefer a Kerberos to a Frost. Something less cutesy, and more hellish maybe :)

I just thought of a nice white on blue Kerberos graphic on the back of one of my Kyuuyaku guides. I dunno where it came from, but it might be awesome. The only problem is the cover of the guide is pretty worn out, so it'll be a bit of work to edit out as much of the abrasions as possible. If I get something scanned maybe someone will recognize it and know where to fine a cleaner version.

To have known that before. Ok, let me see what can we do about it ;)

Did a ton of monkeying with the banner, I hope someone likes it e_e

Html and photoshop wizardry. It does some shifting around so it should look ok up to an 800 pixel wide viewport.

I wish the Kerberos graphic I had wasn't so dirty. Also I had to scale up the titling from the main page, which causes some unwanted pixelation. If anyone knows where that Kerberos is from, or where I can get Tony's original scalable graphics which he used for all of the page decor, I'd appreciate it. Tony's graphics might be hidden on the server somewhere if he he had enough foresight to pass them along.

edited: I rather liked that frost I cooked up. I wish I knew somewhere to stick it. If anyone wants to use it for a sig or something its at:

It looks really cool. But this is the first time I see this Kerberos image. It looks as if it were from Majin Tensei.

I'd like to know more about it myself. But if I had to guess, I'd say it was artwork done during development of Kyuuyaku Megaten. It doesn't appear in the manual but it looks a lot like the sprite used in Kyuuyaku, which is basically a reimagining of the original Kerberos sprite from MT1. It's probably my favorite Kerberos coincidentally. Kyuuyaku was pulled together after SMT2 and maybe after If. If you can find the original piece, share with me first :D

It looks like a "Mecha Kerberos" or something like that. Really cool and different from the original design. I'll try to do some research on that demon, and I'll tell you.

Hmmm, it's very close to the original design actually :)

Maybe you're thinging of SMT Kerberos, which is very different from the original design  :D
