be part of the making of the new marine coprs command logo *MUST READ

[ibclare]

Are there any symbols with special meaning aside from the original Marines logo that would be nice to include in this design? For instance, the stars on the original one. I do find symmetry to be the best bet for a symbol that's going to be around for a long time.. Folks who just threw up some layered roster images, rather than making a vector image aren't doing the prospect of printing in various mediums (coins, shirts, patches, etc.) very much justice.

I beg your pardon. I did no such thing. My contributions were carefully thought out, meticulously selected from photographs, and if I knew what other symbols were expected, those would have been added. I do original work and I try to think outside the box, so be kind and fair in what you say to those of us who take a lot of our personal time to contribute to a great cause. I have worked on this since polhamus asked for it originally and I have great respect for our service men and women, especially the Navy and the Marines.

If symbols are specified, I can make the vector images as well as anyone. Incidentally, the eagle and warrior images are created in such a way that they are vector images and those which are not are essentially color fields and can be simplified as needed. The banner is a vector image, shadowing cn be removed or created in vector lines; no, I did not make this banner. I found the banner and liked it better than the one I had made. Problem with that? The insignia took me nearly an hour to outline properly with the pen tool. And this is a symbol that may be desired, whether it is created by my hand and imagination or not.

Thank you, Clare

And your contribution is where?

OK, I think this is my third submission with minor variations, color on outside circle or white; embossing or drop shadows added.

sorry every one for not responding to any messages lately! work has been crazy and from the looks of it you guys have been working like crazy too. my boss has decided to extend this a couple more days. we are very impressed with some of the ideas you guys have come up with and we will more then likely be using one of these logos. If we do we, will contact you via private message.

To answer one of the questions i got in message was: could you use photos and cartoon? answer is sorry yes and no. as long as the picture is not a "cartoon" you can. from the logos that have submitted those pictures are good cause of the professional look. ill be on again to check this board around 1600 today so if you have any other questions please message me thru private message and i will post the answer on here for every one to see.
