i like carsey's effort the most, although it could be proportioned a little better.
devil lady's is quite detailed. some nice effects.
i didn't put a lot of thought into this one, so there is not much to explain. i'm not a fan of the olympics either.

**Go The Power** · 06-21-2007, 06:05 AM

I like it!

CsStudio · 06-21-2007, 11:19 PM

I haven't been able to devote as much time to this as I would like, I think i did that one in about 4-5 mins.

but I'm working on something very nice, piece by piece,

btw if you get a chance, check out my website at ***********

let me know your thoughts...

I decided to make a slightly satirical one. It kinda pokes a little fun at a negative aspect of English football culture...hooliganism which has been a bit of a thorn in Englands side in the world of sport.

If anyone is offended by it, please be assurd that isn't the intention and feel free to let me know...

**koala** · 06-22-2007, 06:50 AM

Nice one, Nick. Very professional looking.

Don't worry about it being offensive, I made one which incorporated the Olympic circles with a swastika to have a go at the royal family's connections. Freddyhard talked me out of posting it though

**nickster_uk** · 06-22-2007, 06:54 AM

Hahaha

I dont think it looks to bad but i think they could have spent more that 1 pencil and 3 minutes to make.

**nickster_uk** · 06-22-2007, 06:21 PM

This is my last effort...though I may tweak it here and there so if anyone has any suggestions, i'm all ears:

**Go The Power** · 06-22-2007, 06:22 PM

That one is good.

**nickster_uk** · 06-22-2007, 06:55 PM

Thanks mate..i'm happy with the general look of it but i'm wondering whether it would look better with a background rather than being transparent....also, i'm not happy with font (again)...I like how the london 2012 looks but not the main title or the colour.

**Go The Power** · 06-22-2007, 06:58 PM

I think it would be better with a background know that I have looked at it

**nickster_uk** · 06-22-2007, 07:05 PM

Ok...i'll sleep on it and see if I get any inspiration from a dream but if you have any suggestions for a background style, pic or colour, feel free to post please Alex

**nickster_uk** · 06-23-2007, 07:06 AM

Right..i'm just about done with it but i just want to add one thing but it's going to be a big job unless any graphic wizards can help??

I just want to add the ribbons from the original London launch campaign:

However, I don't want any of the London 2012 text so I need to remove all that and doctor the image to make it as good as new...is there a quick way of doing that or do I need to do pixel by pixel with the brush??

**nickster_uk** · 06-23-2007, 09:22 AM

Well...I done it pixel by pixel but i'm not really happy with it:

**Go The Power** · 06-23-2007, 09:27 AM

well done ,looks good

**koala** · 06-23-2007, 10:30 AM

Nick, if you've got the ribbon on a separate layer, use the magic wand or 'colour select' to select the white areas and hit delete to make them transparent.

**nickster_uk** · 06-23-2007, 12:10 PM

Thanks for that koala but that's only part of the problem....I want to remove the 'London 2012' text from the ribbons which is easy enough:

But i'm then left with the gaps in the ribbons...is there an easy way to join these and still make it look good?
