and another recreation

Original:


my version:


the 'Contact' text is a variation i made myself
changed the C and manipulated the space between the letters by hand, duplicating layers and cutting them up indivually, then rearranging them

used the perspective tool to change the text
(i also tried it with Map to Object but that squashed the text to much for my liking)

the 3D text effect is based on xgeous tutorial here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8gOFGE2CHk

the biohazard symbol is made with circular selections and stroked paths
i used it in this less flashy way on purpose, because i think it has become a very negative symbol over the years (LP is from 1999), but i was too lazy at the same time to come up with something else


not sure if its finished, but im too tired to go on tonight
im open for suggestions

Esper, those are really nice and have that 50's feel to them.

thank you he4rty !

50ies you say...
hm, now that you said it, i see it too, didnt realize it before i have to admit

Wow!! I really love it. I looks so professional, especially the first one. Some stars or planets would make them perfect. I suggest using some stars or planets as background. These brushes are really cool and can help you with that http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/applications/gimpbrushes/?qh=&section=&q=sunira#/dm7dws

thanks xgeous, it looks so professionell because i didnt make it
(i made the second one)

the 3D text is much better than mine, although i really love your tutorial

i will have a look at the brushes you suggest, thanks for the link !

hmm... i like the toning down of the biohazard symbol, it's an elegant solution. but why did you choose to put the circle above the threepass? how far did you want it to be from the original symbol?

hm, i totally overlooked that detail, just had a look over at wikipedia what this symbol actually looks like

they even have an svg as a picture....thats very tempting to just borrow it....

i will correct it later, should be easy, i have everything saved

I think you've done an excellent job there.

tweaked it a bit

made a new Biohazard symbol so AnMal will still like me

levels on the CONTACT logo

pixelated the UFO logo and added some distortion so it looks a bit like its a Space Invaders ufo coming from the sky

added a very little distorted second layer to the 'presents'

and i think its finished now
i dont like that record really, rarely listen to it, but it was just such a perfect opportunity to try xgeous tutorial

That's spot on. I like the pixelation on UFO.

*happy*

i completely agree with erisian about the ufo pixellation - makes something happen. and the symbol now looks both neat and correct - but hey, who said i liked you in the first place?

aww, cheer up and have a cup of tea, it's my treat. i won't tease you, brother!
