I'm starting a separate thread for my logo's created with Gimp, as it's a separate subject. Logo creation isn't my forte, but it's something I want to get into.
Starting with the famous Batman the Movie (1989) logo. Created all from scratch. This isn't 100% accurate, but as close as I could get it.
Stage 1:
I started with several layers, and created the black border and batman logo shape with the paths tool.
Stage 2:
I then bucket filled it with black.
Stage 3:
From there I moved onto manual labouring, continuing to add more layers.
Leading up to:
Final Image:
My tools of choice: Paths tool, air brush, fill tool. I avoided gradients at all cost, even though it may not appear so.
The final image is just a screen-cap and does not represent the size of the actual logo.
Time circa 2 - 3 hours.
