This is a random logo design I accidentally started and then purposely finished. I think it could have some interesting representation as the name of some kind of product or company, but it's just some thing I made for now.

This is only a few ideas I came up with, and I love how the multi-colored came out. LAYER MASKS ROCK!!!!!!!!

So anyway, this was created entirely in Photoshop CS3 in approximately two hours, half of which was used for positioning everything to be presented in a fashionable way.

Tell me what you think :D

Plain and Beveled are by far my fav versions, the multi perspective and multi color versions messes up the unity of the shape. I like the shapework alot, especialy the UNUS part with that line streatching all the way trough the arches and up to the top of the S.

Very cool and very trendy, i like it alot!

[Sqthreer!]

I never thought about the unity being messed up but you're right, especially the multi-colored one really kinda takes away from the original style. I still like it though xD

Really, the whole purpose of this design is to be untraditional and somewhat inconsistent, though, so if things don't seem to look quite right, then I have succeeded :]

i like it .. pretty tight!.. NICELY DONE!..

[SimplicityDesigns]

The shape of the logo is pretty tight itself. Plain and Beveled are definitely my favorites...I guess it depends on where you use them. Nice work.

[Tirus]

i agree with the above - plain and beveled are the best in my opinion.

Not to sound like a broken record but...plain and beveled.

I could see plain being used more for a cheap one-color shirt, stationary, etc. and the beveled for digital design, stationary, business card and what not.

Very nice concept and I love how the letters flow into each other!

[madMUHHH]

I really like it. Very cool!
But I think it'd even be cooler, if you connected the "ual" like you did it with the "UnuS"

I hope you don't mind I used your pic. I already deleted it from my hard drive^^.

Those examples are mostly what I was envisioning as well, heh. I might actually go ahead and make a t-shirt on Cafepress.com or something, because that might be neat to have. I can also see the multi-colored as maybe the design on packaging for some kind of software product, and the mixed perspective one to be within some kind of abstract vector art or something.

Thanks for the input :]

That's not a bad idea, actually. I'll play around with it later and maybe post a few more designs.

Also, I don't mind that you use my original image at all. I'm not one to get all bitchy about that kind of thing, and cringe at the idea of plastering watermarks or some crap all over anything I design.

The fact is, if for some reason, someone wants to steal my image and claim it as their own, I don't give a shit because I've got the .psd :D Besides, people who steal artwork obviously aren't good enough to create their own, so when they've got a big bunch of trash they created themselves, then suddenly a substantially good piece shows up, no one's going to believe it anyway.

[Xfader]

beveled version is awesome, others are allright

[Bryn]

Bevelled and plain are best.

[CAMILLUS]

i like the beveled better

[WALNUT]

i think the breveled but i think it would be awsome if a little perspective was place on it and giving a more 3d feel to it.

[gotfrap]

Beautiful....

I especially like your bevel one.
How'd you do it?

[SatanicPenguins]

He probably either took a weird font and removed the spacing, or Pen tooled it all out himself (ill leave that open for him to answer lol)

Very nice logo though, all flows really well.

I vote for leaving it how it is, if you stream-line it anymore it'll become more difficult to read lol.

right now the bends off the n are making it all just come together perfect

[Sqthreer!]

What I did was create a filled vector circle, then another path only circle inside, but set it to subtract the path instead so it makes the ring. Then I found the very middle going through the circle and drew a rectangle over it, again subtracting from it. Buy now it's just a half of a ring. Then I just took the path selection tool and grabbed the flat open ends and dragged them upward. Now I've got the "u" shape of the first one.

After that I just copied the thing and arranged it and modified as I went.

[Loken]

I liked the beveled and the coloured ones best Its a nice concept design, but sadly one that will only work with the word unusual it seems.

But how'd you make the nice bevel effect?

[Sqthreer!]

Ooh I see. Well for that I made a copy of the plain logo and put it beneath the first one, then applied some layer styles to the one on top. And I just resized the one underneath horizontally from the middle.

[SatanicPenguins]

VERY nice effect , kinda reminds me of that "NOW thats what i call music Volume #" stuff lol
