I am not offended but my email was offended apparently. It did not allow me to expand the messages to reply to you , lol. I guess computers have feelings too. None has to like my style, obviously. Neither you have to like the end result. But I would be lying to say that this was created by accident. I knew from start what I wanted to create and I am proud that I got so far. Took a lot of effort but it was well worth it. Tin tin is a fun comic, and that art is very good but its not something that interests me into making. I am more an Asterix fan. In any case this kind of style is very far from what I really like , how I think and how I feel. Minoan art is what it inspires me the most, fully of vibrant colours, dramatic expression, mysticism and freedom. https://s3.amazonaws.com/FunkStock-Default/header-Photos/Greece-Photos-Pictu...

Perhaps a similar composition with close/far subjects and clean flat text would work better⦠as it is now, I find it too dark/dramatic for the subject matter, and I find the word art floating over water cheesy and making little sense, sorry⦠Another inspiration where the 3D text would work better would be the Philémon's letters in the Atlantic (it's a surrealist universe where the letters spelling OCÃAN ATLANTIQUE on a world globe are really letter-shaped islands) : http://iteror.org/big/img/i/Philemon_leA.jpg On 30 October 2016 at 17:59, Dimitris Chloupis <kilon.alios@gmail.com> wrote: Yeap thats the idea, being unique is my goal , though still developing my style.

Stef Le 29/10/16 à 16:27, Dimitris Chloupis a écrit : I did not want to go with the original design because frankly that is not my style. I rather have something unique. Extruding the logo would look very boring and its definitely something I dont want to do. I love the original design because it is really suits many scenarios including icons and because its a good design. However here we dont talk about a simple logo to be used everywhere, this is a book cover and plus Stef asked me to use this that I have created in the past. The original design can continue to be around since it can serve many other roles. Python books for example rarely use the python logo, usually they have some painted snake or even mouse etc. By rarely I mean extremely rarely. https://goo.gl/b67ETW Another reason is that 3d graphics are quite hard to make , so its not that simple for me to start from scratch and have something ready in 1 day. The only thing I can do is tweak this to make it slightly better. On a question of form, its not a problem this is a 3d scene as such its extremely flexible on how I can render this, it can be resized in any way and change in proportion. In any case I have zero issues with going with the original cover or a design not made by gets picked. I made this render because I will use it as a background to my blog anyway so it wont go to waste.

It would be good to see a sample in book form factor. Also Pharo has its brand with the lighthouse in the big-O that I guess it would be good to follow like the other books... http://files.pharo.org/books/ How would it look to extrude logo.svg from here...? https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-flyers/tree/master/figures cheers -ben On Sat, Oct 29, 2016 at 8:36 PM, Dimitris Chloupis <kilon.alios@gmail.com> wrote:
So Stef reminded me that we are going to need a cover for PBE5 , so I decided to revive my now 2 year old pharo logo render and enhance it. I decided also to release all assets under MIT license as a present to the community. The repo can be found here
https://gitlab.com/Kilon/pbe5-cover/tree/master
latest render can be found here
https://gitlab.com/Kilon/pbe5-cover/raw/master/Pharo%20demo/renders/render-2...
this is not final render I have a few thing to improve but it is 90%
there.
Hope you like, I leave the final decision on Stef.
