[LOGOS] Mega-Docklet Logos (WIP)

[Draco1962]

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... ]

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!

[Draco1962]

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.

A few more "core" images for gits and shiggles...

[KRC]

Nice work buddy

[Draco1962]

Thanks! I'll be sure to provide you with a cleaned-up template. The one I am using is a hot mess.

[Draco1962]

My focus right now is on some of the GameEx core logos. Here are a few I came up with for Adult and Lightgun.

[KRC]

You should see the mess my character logo psd is in, nothing is named correctly, all the layer's are all over the place, It's not a pretty sight.

Superb work!!!

[ehuonder]

Love these!

[Draco1962]

A few more. Not a lot of time to tinker as of late and these tend to be rather labor-intensive.

[Tempest]

Very nice. Did you create the Periodic table of controllers yourself?

[Draco1962]

Very nice. Did you create the Periodic table of controllers yourself?

Nope. Can't lay claim to it.

[Tempest]

I was just wondering, That seems like it would take a ton of time. All of your work looks great nonetheless.

[Draco1962]

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.

[KRC]

Nice Work, I like these 2 logo's very much.

[Draco1962]

Thanks! Here is one I threw together this morning for DAPHNE using the usual characters and your enlarged Daphne logo.

[KRC]

Nice, Good to see my hard work getting put to use.
