Rdeyahlxp Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) I'm working on a new entry. Also if it's decided that I should change the roses from the previous one let me know.If you really need to change the roses you could use some photos I used for my design (took the photos myself). You'll have to cut them out tho and adjust contrast etc. but I'm sure you're capable of that.https://www.dropbox.com/sc/yp6quu4f36z07u7/AACOdOjWvFJ8u5cezLcQ1rpwa Edited May 24, 2014 by Rdeyahlxp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trishblondee440 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 http://imgur.com/a/VOcH2Hi GunnersAttached are pix of my recent GN'R Project.The first 3 images are what I created for the re-design of the GN'R Logo's.The following pix after are close-ups of the full banner (7pix in all). They run from the Guns XBones in an anti-clockwise direction. The actual banner in real life is around 4-5metres long & 25-30cm high. It was joined into a 360o Loop. The pix were taken at the Gunners Newcastle concert in 2013. I manipulated them to different sizes, printed them out, then mounted them onto black cardboard that had been veneered with dark purple glitter.The clay painted skull that I sculpted & decorated, hangs on a silver chain in the centre of the Banner Loop & has a tealite candle inside that makes the eyes glow. The skull (nicknamed "Skully') has gold glitter veneer on the inside, & has pearlised white glitter externally.It was a lot of work over the past few weeks, & altho exhausted (between that & work & everything else) it's been a lot of fun & really satisfying to have it all finished (finally!! lol)Hope ya's luv 'em!!Cheers!Trish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manfisman Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Ok I was kinda inspired today so I finished my second entry before expected ha.This is my #2 entry for this contest, hope you like it, I'm happy with the result:The logo would be the same as my prior entry, but with a little more shadows so it's more visible when placed on the banner:Any comment or suggestion will be appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Love the banner, but I don't think the logo matches. Maybe a bit of colour correction on the current GNR lineup pics so they gel together better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bit of colour correction on the current GNR lineup pics so they gel together better.Thanks!I got rid of the stars on the logo and changed all the letters to yellow and the line underneath to red. Now I think it matches with the banner pretty well:Will look at the colours of the current lineup tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I trialled both out and damn man... they look awesome in place, especially the banner!! My only gripe? The logo is a bit blurred at the edges, almost like you used a low DPI setting on your canvas? If you could do a large 300dpi version or something, it would look sharper resized down.

Amir Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Have you tried one where the UYI-era photos on the left are in B&W? Think that might work seeing as the nuGNR 1.0 photos on the right are in B&W as well. Maybe have the nuGNR 1.0 photos in "Polaroid" format as well to line up with the UYI-era photos?

Manfisman Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Actually both have an explanation for the way they are right now. The left side is for the classic band members. There are a lot of roses and some guns because they are the most representative lineup of GNR. The Pollaroid format and colours is because it's kinda old-school and a classic, like that particular era of the band. The right side is NuGNR. Was almost a new band from scratch, that's why there is a ripped papper symbolizing it. If you look closer, you will see some Chinese letters on there, that's because those guys made the Chinese Democracy record. They are on B&W because they are kind of roughly 'painted' on the Chinese paper, like if that was some kind of Chinese art. To have better results with that I had to use the B&W. Also it's different than the Pollaroid format because that particular era of the band isn't the classic one and even tried to mark some differences with the old guys, so in my opinion making that contrast was appropiate.

SoulMonster Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Manfisman: Great work! Although I really liked your rationale for the original banner, I still prefer having the classic lineup in B&W too because of symmetry and to make the current lineup stand out more.
