More from DavidN
Though visual art is not my strong point, this afternoon I began doodling out an idea in Paint.NET and eventually came up with this band logo. This is the name for a music project that I've had in the back of my head for a while (ever since doing a song of the same name in 2003), were I a band and not just myself!
I'd started out with a more curved design for the A and N on both ends with the Impact font, then trying to touch it up into something coherent, but it didn't really fit together at all so I scrapped it and replaced it with this line-drawn more angular design, which ended up as something in the region of part Manowar, part Doom, all 80s.
I'm undecided as to whether the blue/green colour split should be there, or whether it should all be grey - if indeed they are blue and green. I'm colourblind and only have the colour selector to tell me. And ideally I'd like to tone down the harshness of the black and white border. Suggestions for what to do with it are welcome.
Could this hint at something to come? Possibly.

The only criticisms I can come up with is that I don't think a gradient drop shadow is a good idea for the background. I imagine clean, distinct borders, non-antialiased borders would be required for something that could be lifted and pasted over various album covers (the point of a band logo, after all!) Of course, without the shadow, the white highlighted edges of the letters match the white background.... Also, I think it being the same color would work better than the half-and-half effect.
I like it otherwise, though. Very angular and almost-symmetrical in that way that all good band logos are.

The background's fully separable (the glow and the logo are laid out as two separate images on top of each other) - the shadow looks a bit distinct against white, but when put up against a background, it just makes it stand out a bit more, I promise! But more experimentation is always possible.
I was quite pleased with the symmetry, how it just managed to fall into place without any (do I have to even name it?) - dragonlanb-style stretching. Edenbridge also comes quite close, but I can give them that as the Es are somehow stylized enough to be interpreted either way at each end - at least not to the extent that I'd feel compelled to call them Edenbridg3.
