Promotion logo request

[Reddaye]

Hey all,

I'm looking to get a custom logo made for a promotion in my EWR game, and was hoping someone on EWB might be willing to help me out with it. I've got a basic concept in my head of what I'm thinking would look good. Using some pictures as examples to hopefully get my point across a little better...

Here's the basic idea of what I'm thinking. Using text similar to this (which is the letters GWA, since it's kind of hard to make out):

Something that kind of wraps around like this, placed in the upper portion of a stencilled globe that looks like the AJPW logo (blue instead of the red):

So basically the GWA lettering would be inside the wireframe globe, in the upper left. Like if you took the All Japan portion and put it inside the globe, rather than having it on the outside. Hopefully that makes some sense.

That's the kind of idea I'm thinking of anyway. The text doesn't need to be exactly the same, and the size isn't really an issue. Something the size of the first image would be fine. It would let me resize it myself for use in different situations.   

I'd really appreciate the help if anyone is willing.

I gave it a shot. Found it a little tough to get text to curve that severely and still remain legible.

Thanks C-MIL.

You nailed the concept of what I'm going for, but yeah, the text is pretty hard to read. The idea seemed good in my head . I probably should have gone for the G on the left, W at the top, and A on the right all spaced apart. Might have made it more legible. 

Love the globe you used. Was it a stock image somewhere?

No. I made it out of this. http://i63.tinypic.com/2zf79s6.gif

I tried again using a different method of curving the text that kept the letter shape a bit better: http://i68.tinypic.com/213okrd.png

Alright, that's quite a bit better! Looks really sharp, and the font stands out a lot better as white instead of blue. I also just noticed http://i63.tinypic.com/2vii7he.png which is a very neat way of doing it, it's a shame the lettering blends in so much. 

I appreciate the help C-MIL. It looks great.

I lightened the text on that one so it shows a little more, though I'm not crazy about it on white: http://i64.tinypic.com/akaf6r.png

Here's one with the globe filled in that I think works better on white: http://i66.tinypic.com/w5jdd.png

I think if I were to find the right font, the big crescent text will work, but thus far no such luck...

I think they look good honestly. You're right that it stands out more on the blue background, but the light blue on white doesn't look too bad either. The font works well enough that the letters are legible, which is the main thing. I really, really like this design overall. 

Way, way better than the original idea, which was based on a concept I've been using for years that uses the font I have in my original post. That font is pretty sharp and tacky though, and I wanted to do a more clean, and "modern" logo (similar to the way WWE modernized their logo), which I think you've done a good job with. 

You've done way more than you needed to, and I really appreciate it. I'll be making use of them for sure.
