Draco1962 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Getting closer to completion. As noted previously, I am redoing most of what I had from scratch - system logos and images, etc. I have pretty much completed the consoles, and about halfway through with the PC systems. Will start working on Handhelds next.Here is another peek of my more current work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 These are coming along really nicely! Great work as always Drac! Nice to see new icons in such a mastered style! Way to go!!!Now they need to be on my cab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehuonder Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Nice work Draco! Question since you said that you've redone most of your work from scratch... I've used your last full logos release pack as a starting point for my WOPR them logos, but I have to remove the mirrored part of the backgrounds by hand (about 70% complete)... For this set, do your XCF/PSD files have the actual logo parts separated from the backgrounds? or are the bricks merged in?By the way... I love the Wii and Guncon images!

Draco1962 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 The "bricks" are just a pattern layer, as are the areas with the slight glows. Once released you can mix and match layers or do without to your heart's content! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaUMi Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm astonished watching these images... can't wait 'til release! Great work Draco! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNeeley Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Wheres the tutorial. I looked at the theme editor and couldn't figure it out. I downloaded what I thought was a tutorial on theme editor. It was in the tutorials section but it was just a bunch of .exe that did nothing. Can we not always assume that people just somehow know how to do stuff by osmosis and have a real A-Z tutorial. Video tutorial would be nice. I really would love to learn how to make my own themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 We'll be glad to help you out,. but as you are aware, there is no tutorial. Much of what we have learned is trial & error. You will have to pick up a few tools along the way - either Photoshop or its free alternative GIMP to do much of your editing (there are quite a few good forums for helping you to learn how to use them to create unique backgrounds and effects). The Theme Editor proper is more for object placement than a full-on skinning tool. To that end, this thread is more or less dedicated to showing our stuff and helping others learn as well. The best thing you can do is open the Default theme in Theme Editor so you can familiarize yourself with the various elements as they appear in GameEx, try manipulating them.

Draco1962 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Has been a while since I last updated my work. Life has a way of getting in the way for good or bad. Once finished it will be one of the most comprehensive collections I have pieced together and hopefully worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakerman Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Very nice Draco!I know the same feeling as I am making slow progress on my theme due to work, sports, and whatever life is throwing at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 A sneak peek at my latest endeavor. Nothing too flashy or involved. Just a simple HTPC theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaUMi Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Really amazing, Draco! I love ALL the images! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks, Alpha! I have completed to date the Company & Product and Consoles logo packs (May add a few more to the console time and decent images permitting). I am roughly 3/4 finished with GameEx "core" and 1/4 finished with PC System logos. Once I wrap those two up, I will begin work on the Handhelds logos. Upon completion they will be available for download and each logo pack will contain Photoshop PSD and GIMP XCF files so that the end user can add color backgrounds and custom overlay effects to fit within their own themes or use some of the example overlay patterns I have created.

Krakerman Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Would really like to incorporate them in my new theme Draco, but my new theme doesn't use logo's at all. Can't wait to see the final product thou.Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Have been working on a few theme ideas but nothing is seeming to gel as I would like. So I started working on software publisher and search category logos. Here are a few. Nothing flashy, but definitely adds to the search experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 A few for the years 1971, 1975, 1976. Decided to go with a photo collage of sorts of some key events for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
