View Full Version : The Official MBII Logo Contest
Over a period of one week, you may design a new logo for MBII and submit it in this thread for entry.
There are too many logos for MBII right now, we feel the need for a single, universally accepted logo. Having more than one logo, or a logo that copies another game or breaks copyright is simply unprofessional (eg my BF2 logo).
The new logo needs to meet these requirements:
If you are the winner, you must be willing to provide a PSD source of the logo in no less than 1280x720 pixels (I advise designing on a 720p project and scaling down for the web version). We would require source so the logo has the potential to be flexible. This is so we can make small adjustments like colour and shadowing for different projects - eg Posters, Video, Wallpapers, Signatures etc.
The Design must be compact, and we would preferably like it to have a unique design that represents Movie Battles II. So this can be anything, but it should mean that we could use that design to put on images and people would recognise it's MBII without us having to type Movie Battles at all. So the main logo should feature the words "Movie Battles II/2" and "www.moviebattles.com" with preferably a unique design somewhere in it.
If possible, include the words "Star Wars" in the logo, before Movie Battles II. It is not essential and won't affect the rating of your submission, it's just it helps people identify what Movie Battles II is. Some people may come up with a cool design without Star Wars and that is totally fine.
You must put a number before your submission. So for example, I will start off the thread with three submissions, I will label submission one 1, and submission two 2 etc. If the next person has two submissions, they need to name them 4 and 5. This helps us out when choosing the final logo as we can refer to them by a single number. Each submission needs to be unique, if you have posted four variations of one logo then they will most likely be deleted.
The jury will be the team and possibly some beta testers. The logos will be discussed and when a decision has been made, Keshire will likely have the final say.
MB2 BF2 style logo - purged from competition.
1) MB2 Classic Logo:
2) Frost's recent logo:
3) Frost's CMP 2 style logo (I'm assuming could be adjusted to suit MB2):
Obviously you won't be able to post other people's logos, I'm just kicking off the thread.
Good luck!
P.S: I don't know how good the photoshop users in this community are, but I have an extra project if any one is interested. That would be creating a custom MBII video game box. Here is an example of a box:
http://www.monitor.ca/monitor/issues/vol13iss1/game_BF2-box.jpg
It may be worth waiting until the final logo is set in stone, but still, some of you could start work on one if you'd like.

The community has no say over the logo we'll be staring at for the next year or two? :cry:
Hope to see some good stuff here :)
Hmm, ok and this can include Starwars characters (more specificly MB2 gamed based)? I have a good idea, but before I put in hours of work I wanna know it won't be for nothing.
A logo doesn't typically include characters, does it? :eek:
Time to crack open Photoshop I guess ....
3) Frost's CMP 2 style logo (I'm assuming could be adjusted to suit MB2):
^___ ^^ me and forst created this one and p!ng created the 3d version. I don't like that swirly MB2 logo.. it's not star wars like. Doesnt give a good expression of MBII. I've never created a GameBox. I could give it a try.
I really like Yosh's work there!
Anyway, I might give it a try, though my photoshopping skills are very limited.:x
Just wondering, can I submit as many as I want? For example if I submitted one now, then two days later decide it isn't good, and make a new one and submit it.
Also, can I PM you the sumbission, or must it be posted here? (I'd prefer PM so people would have no chance to laugh at me:cool:
I really like Yosh's work there!
Anyway, I might give it a try, though my photoshopping skills are very limited.:x
Actually Frost created that logo, I did make it clear..
And no, post your final logo(s) in one post when you have them completed, repeat posts aren't necessary. You need to post them in this thread ;)
My entry, I made it in the dimensions you required but I shrank it for this version.
Good Luck to everyone entering.

What, you were JOKING? Aww...Use that to attract more 'I'm more l337 than j00' kids.
Anyways, I think Plasma's is ace! Just replace the 'O' in mOvie with a letter of the same font, and I think you stand a good chance mate.
It's good, but not very compact :(
Well I'll whip up a small version now then.
Well, I thought I'd have a dig at this by workin on a classic type logo;
This isn't my final design, but I thought it best to seek feedback before carrying on with it.
One problem with the task is that its hard to create a compact design which has to contain 'Movie Battles II' in it, which is why thus-far mine only has the initials.
I'll do one when my cousin leaves, so my entry might be pushing the deadline, but I'll try and remember to get one in.
Done a compact one in the same style as the first.
If you do need the .psd I won't be here all next week so you'll have to wait for Saturday the 5th or Sunday the 6th depending on what time I get back on the Saturday.
Anyways, I think Plasma's is ace! Just replace the 'O' in mOvie with a letter of the same font, and I think you stand a good chance mate.
I used that O because it's the one of the Clone Wars TV series but if someone wants me to change it I always can.

By the by, I see quite a few of you are putting "Star Wars" in your logos.
If you're going to do that then there is only one way you should be doing it:
StaR waRS - assuming you're using the Star Jedi font.
Here's my own custom SW text I've just created, as you can see the letters match the official SW text:
Heh totally forgot about that.

Remember to click them once to see the original size, or it'll look jaggy.
I'll be taking feedback too, to fix some of the flaws people might find.
bah dizzi, I was just working on that exact layout, just a different font :P
It looks very good though (the third one), best so far imo
Ok here is my entry, I haven't applied any effects or colour to it yet, but I am focusing more on the compact design, what do you think?
I want the logo to look badass, I tried...

It aint bad , but to soon to judge cause coleurs / effects arent added yet.
I think plasma has the best ones at the moment.
I don't like it. I think Movie Battles should be spelled out.

um, movie battles is spelled out :rolleyes:
Jasper_Kazai
28-07-2006, 23:46
um, movie battles is spelled out :rolleyes:No. I meant where it says MBII, I think it should say Movie Battles II instead.
ok, personally I don't see any point having it written out twice, and as people said before, it's hard to keep it compact if you type it all out as the main logo.

[URL=http://img95.imageshack.us/my.php?image=logofirstyk3.jpg] (http://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mb2logo2xn8.jpg)Looks good so far, perhaps the url smaller?
To all who are lacking good fonts (:P), try www.dafont.com or some other font site.
A little update based on Shark and Jaspers feedback:
And if you're wondering why Movie is larger than battles, its so that they both align together, otherwise it wouldnt fit in with the whole design.
Made this in the night. Quite tired. No time for Thumbnail *goes to sleep*zzzz

iXin, what about removing the 2 but leaving that line from the R and then put the MBII (I like Roman numerals :P) where MB is now?

Love the use of the sabers in the 1st and 3rd, and the font is just right IMO,
though the collage could do with material not solely revolving around saber battles?
The 2nd one is abit too different I think, while its realy compact, and fits the parameters of a logo realy well - it doesn't identify with either the StarWars brand, or MovieBattles.

Well, as you can see I've slightly changed the font of "Bang" giving it an overall bolder effect making for the perfect logo :cool:

Hmz, first try in creating a 3D box. Don´t expect it to be.. super nice! :P
And to let you guys know that I'm only doing this because I have a motive now to create something. XD
The 3D box:
The thingy:
Where could I get the font that was used in the classic MB II logo?
Google "Episode 1 font".
Good start on the box art, also.
Well I made one...
But straight away after I realised it's waaay too colourful...

I'm not quite sure about the numbering... do we number them by what ones we submit (EG this being the first) or number them based on the other submissions?

Too many images in this post! :x

29-07-2006, 15:33
3)Really cool, the pictures on the lettering is awesome. But I like roman numerals better than the plain 2.

Awesome, this would make a great header to level shots or something.
I'm not quite sure about the numbering... do we number them by what ones we submit (EG this being the first) or number them based on the other submissions?Really plain, and too squareish. And that lens flare in the bottom right is monstrous.
Sorry for the double post, I had way too many images. :x
Well, here's my first entry. Expect some flashier ones later.
Number 8.
EDIT: Too big for display :P
Jasper_Kazai
29-07-2006, 16:22

The display was off. Check again.
Plain was the goal with this one. I'll play with fanciness later on.
Jasper_Kazai
29-07-2006, 16:25
Meh... Plain. And the lasers are random.
What does the exclamation point under people's avatars and info do? Because I accidentally clicked yours, Cid, before I pressed post. :|
EDIT: Oh, it's report. Crap.
It sends an email to moderators and admins that include a link to the post and a description of the report. Well, atleast that's what it did on a board I once made for fun. =P
I think that design is great, but to make it more compact how about re-arranging it to something like this, but keeping the design/font and everything intact:
I think that design is great, but to make it more compact how about re-arranging it to something like this, but keeping the design/font and everything intact:
It is compact now. Why do all you fancy people have to go after the standard logo layouts. Like, centering stuff.
Thought I'd throw my hat into the ring. I'm really enjoying reading this thread up to now :) Some great stuff.
*edit* imageshack scaled my ass :p
Star could go a bit more closer to the MB Same with the number 2.
I have to say it...
Viva Las Vegas!
And that lens flare in the bottom right is monstrous.
Is this any better, or still too much of a problem with the flare?
Do I need to shrink the height of the hull?
Hmm I dunno, I like the first one out of the two you've just posted, but the original one - I guess does look better. What's other people's thoughts on Droid's logo? *thinks droid could be in the top 3*
I like you rlogo because it has good animating potential, for example, the II could be used as a plug, having a circuit going around the logo, that type of thing.
WhiteShark
29-07-2006, 20:12
Love it! :D
Perhaps put a Rebel team model into the M? (Perhaps a Tantive IV rebel soldier?) Great none the less! I really like that Boba there.
Definatly a good entry.
Droid is that the outline of a bunny rabbit?
Hmm, very cool, doesn't really seem like a logo to me but it'd make a great banner or levelshot header, good job on it.
Acidus, I have to be honest, I really don't like your logo that much.
I've seen previous ones that were great though from you. Go again!
Rusty, the flare is just freaky to have in an MB logo.

I do recommend that some people, rather than using flat text, use a bump map.
I did a few here, can be done in any style or color.

Okay, one word from a professional to all of you:
A good logo needs to be applicable to all surfaces. This means you can use it here in the site header as well as layered over images/sequences in promotional trailers, the game's main menu etc.
So, the logo itself will be best as a vector image scalable to any size without loss, also witout having lens flares or entire images in the background. The logo shouldn't be too playful because it needs to be striking at one sight. Too much detail just takes away what makes the logo look professional and striking. The logo itself must be emphasized, not any graphics that are put around it.
If you keep this in mind, your drafts will gain an increase in quality.

Indeed :D
A vector graphic wouldn't be detailed enough, but obviously the submissions in this thread that have backgrounds on them or custom images like Boba Fett will not be accepted.
Layer Effects are a good thing, and since the PSD will be available to developers, they can be removed for certain projects. I.E If I make a trailer, I'm not going to want too much colour or detail if I want the logo as a watermark in the corner, so I may remove a lot of layers so it appears transparent through the logo.
Other projects, like the opening Logo for B18/19 will want the real deal with all the effects, so in those cases it will come in handy,
OMG all those cool pics... too bad im not that good in photoshop.. anyway.. when im back home ill give it a try ;)

I'd prefer a more sinister look to a few of them, such as EP3 did, things were darker, more feindish in comparrison to all the others.
Precisely. Take my logo for example, I know it's not the best, but for an example, I have used a blocky, badass type of font (that's what I think anyway). Personally I think this kind of style is what we need for MB2, we are trying to move into that co*ky, cool, stylish, sinister, badass type of look - for the logo anyway, that's how we want MB2 to be brought across (afaik) - a cool mod. So people should aim for that type of thing.

Presenting my horribly resized logo, entry number... 49? I figured I had gotten that for on it, might as well finish it.
Looks a tad too bright on the lettering..
That would be a really nice logo without the background sabers, really nice. The font kind of looks animated and soft, I like it.

I kind of prefered it without the saber blades, but it looks incredibly plain without it. Then again, it should be a logo first, and a flashy thing second... <_<
Yeah, try getting rid of the little thingies you've got behind it too, so we can just see the text logo. Then add II after Movie Battles, what does that look like?
Bruce Campbell
31-07-2006, 06:39
Aye, the whole glow thing locked tackier after getting rid of the sabers. Forgot about that.
Nice one Riko, I like that. Try changing the dark grey color to a bit lighter one though, and the yellow color to something else as well, and see how it looks.
Riku, it looks good for a hud.
Aye, the whole glow thing locked tackier after getting rid of the sabers. Forgot about that.
Hey, no I liked the colour and everything - it's the little design behind it, like two shields that doesn't fit. Just the original text design with II instead of the background II would be great I think :)

Here is my contribution...as you can see, a very simple one based on the Episode 1 logotype and the TNE logo. Would somehow point out the affiliation between both projects. Other color variations would be possible, depending on the mood you want to transport. This draft uses rather dark colors.
I like it to some degree, but it is a bit bland. It's alot like alot of others posted here imo.
Came up with this cus cid asked for it early on.
Vector logos seem to be getting better reactions here though, so I did this also.
I love the second one, but don't like the colors. It's really good though, the design.
After asking Bruce, I had a play around with his lightdaggers.
Just a suggestion, imo you shouldnt use light flares as they wont look the same over every image (like in the corner of a screenshot, or on a light background).

Cool, but like your last one like this, the top part of the B looks like it was sliced off. Also, the 2 is kinda big.

Rysty you need to fade the end of that lightsabers glow to the backround, now it looks rough.
"www.moviebattles.com" with preferably a unique design somewhere in it.
Sounds more like a banner to me.

We want something smaller to use as an alternative. The current one is more like a banner than a logo.
Simple Solution: Shorten the url and then shorten the banner to match.
still wouldnt be a logo :p, go type logo into google :)

Remember the difference between a banner and a logo, folks.
Some of your entries are more like banners than logos.
TigerZeta
01-08-2006, 16:08
Would it be a terrible idea of having the url "www.moviebattles.com" be spread around the circle as a half-circle or less area in Riku's logo?
That way you could feature url to it when needed. Kind of like how CD's have copyright etc. texts in the edge.
Maybe it be best if u use an expedia thing on it... -_-....so on the trailers its all serious and at the end sound goes MovieBattles.....(DOT).COOMM
putting the URL into a logo isnt the best idea really. A logo is primarily a symbol, not an advert.
If creating banner, the logo can be placed, along with other images or text, including the URL etc, more efficient use of a logo.
if you changed website, you shouldnt have to redo a logo, including a url in it requires you to do so
classic example is the half-life logo
imagine if it was the scientific symbol, along with www.steampowered.com
now that wuold look stupid lol

The URL can appear, but only in the subline if at all. A logo doesn't have to be like the Half-Life one. There are basically four types of logos:
- Typography logo
- graphical logo
- abstract insignia
- any combination of the above three
A typography logo may contain the URL. You often see that especially for online companies whose name is not only same as the domain, but also includes the TLD. Example:
However, something like that must not be in the MB2 logo since the name if the mod does not include the ".com". But it is definately possible to add it to a subline which may be part of a logo/brand.
well yeah, but having it embeded in the logo is as i said, a bit dodgy, attaching it below, above, or next to works fine, cause its not part of the logo design itself, essentially, the logo should work even when the URL is removed.
I should get my girlfriend to design one, she's a graphic artist , probably not clued into the MBII culture though lol
I personally think abstract insignias are the best way to go, but its not easy to capture any element of mb2 with one.
Some tweaks to my other one. Colours are easy to change around for any purpose.
Not much changed this, just a bit of rounding:

We're actually in the middle of deciding right now, me and Acidius had a little misunderstanding, it seems as though there will be two logos - one (a design) that will be printed onto the media (Posters, Wallpaper, Videos etc) and the other will be an updated version of the classic logo, probably primarily for the MBII opening game logo.
Anyway, all credit goes to Riku for this logo as you know, I've just had a go at updating it a little:
The new one (Yosh's update of Riku's) looks... amazing!

Yosh, you modified a version of Riku's logo, before the decision was made, therefore it was partly your entry. Even if you do not count "your go at it" as an entry itself, you as a judge, were not unprejudiced when making the decision for the final logo.
Obviously he did a little modification because he already though the base design was good/the best?

There was a thread made in the private sections of the forums, the method of voting was that any team member could browse through this thread and choose any logo they liked, they then posted their decision. Six or more voted for Riku's, whether it was modified or not.
