Draco1962 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I have started work on a new series of logo packs based upon a template used to create many of the docklets for Rocket Dock found in various galleries on Deviant Art site and inspired by KRC's Ultimate Character Logos. Of course, these are 2x - 4x bigger than docklet size at 1024x1024 px.Here are a few examples... ] 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo77 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I've never heard of docklets or Rocket Dock. Sounds like a replacement OS theme like Stardock. Anyway, those images DO look really nice. Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Docklets is just another term for icon images, but specifically for dock programs, such as RocketDock and others that reside on your desktop and look similar to Mac OS docks in appearance and functionality. Usually they are 256x256 or 512x512 pixels - most of the better dock programs will scale them down to size, however, better to scale them down to size yourself if creating custom docklets to save space and load times if you have quite a few.I wanted to do something similar, but with the aim of larger for the "10-foot interface" experience, as well as providing more of a theme-neutral, HTPC kinda feel. Since GameEx already provides the Title text for use within the themes, my aim is more towards the graphic representation of the various logos used instead of textual.Since Ray's project is very similar graphically (albeit much further developed and closer to completion), don't be surprised if you see some cross-pollination of images and ideas between the two projects.

Draco1962 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 A few more. Not a lot of time to tinker as of late and these tend to be rather labor-intensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Very nice. Did you create the Periodic table of controllers yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I was just wondering, That seems like it would take a ton of time. All of your work looks great nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thanks! Some take much longer than others. This one for Trackball games took me about 15-20 minutes to get it the way I wanted.While this Spinner logo took the better part of an hour and I am still not totally satisfied, but good character art for the older stuff is sometimes hard to find. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
