I don't know if OP's given up on the thread, but I use GNOME and here's what I love:
>gnome shell extensions that visually integrate into the environment, https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/30/music-integration/ is one of my favorites

hate:
>shitty css that breaks down every other minor version
>stuck to the same basic template, can't rice for shit outside of altering some colors and sizes
>>tfw no GNOME on unixporn

at this point I only use it for compatibility

Here's Saint Paul's. It fails for having it's name in a motto banner under the shield, but otherwise is a little more relevant
(the little house refers to the St. Paul chapel that was built back when St. Paul was called Pigs Eye, after a rum runner and fur smuggler who built his still near the river- it's pretty obscure, but pretty fun, when compared to the dome of the St. Paul Cathedral, which is referenced on the right side).

Really, I like this one a lot if not for the motto!

Just do it in Photoshop.

I know this isn't a helpful reply but I really like the typography of this logo.

>animating anything in photoshop

OP you got two general solutions:
-rebuilding your logo in AE with the shape tool, and then animating it with the shape tool controls and effect;
-importing static pictures of your logo and revealing it with masks and mattes that you animate;

I think the 1st method generally looks cooler, but if you're trying to get something like in your pic then it's gonna be the 2nd. Of course, the more talented designer would mix both methods together in a creative way.

Use Paint.NET.

drag to give the style
drag and hold Alt to copy the style

Alternatively right click the layer > copy layer style > right click other layer > paste layer style

>>279413
Yeah this works too. You can also apply the layer style to multiple layers this way

I know this has nothing to do with your post op, but does anyone know where can I get Dibac for Sketchup for free? Didn't find any torrents

>>279389
No problem, this can be a sketchup general.

>Am i wrong for wanting that?
I know how you feel, you aren't, but it's taking bread out of your contractors mouth

>would it be a bad idea to stipulate that our graphic designer hand over their PSDs the next time i sign a contract?
It's a very good idea. Your contractor is in his full right not to hand over the PSDs to you. I did this once with an InDesign file and they went way out and wild with it. Eventually they didn't even extend my one-year-contract.

buying a PSD file VS hiring a designer

Unless in the contract he doesn't have to do anything. Be specific about what the contractor is supposed to deliver. Also be clear about who owns the final copyright of the work produced and what is allowed to do with it (for example the designer may showcase it in his portfolio but not reuse for another client).
This will be a good lesson for you and others on /gd/ to never omit details.

>>279341
I> know how you feel, you aren't, but it's taking bread out of your contractors mouth

i totally get this, but we're talking minor changes here that require a 24+ turn around time which is fucking unworkable. Even then I would be pissed if they tried to charge me a full hour for the tweaks i'm asking for, they're changes that take a couple minutes top when you have the full PSD


>It's a very good idea. Your contractor is in his full right not to hand over the PSDs to you. I did this once with an InDesign file and they went way out and wild with it. Eventually they didn't even extend my one-year-contract.

I've totally heard of that sort of thing, but this is a situation where i've literally provided all the assets, it's not even design, its layout and i pay a lot of money for it, and somehow they feel like i'm fucking them over when they can't even turn around a 15 minute edit in the same day.

i'm definitely gonna put a PSD stipulation in the next contract. especially if i'm giving them the assets

>>279294
Use the pen tool.

This cannot be a logo.

The only way to make this a 2d logo is re imagine how the face will look as a line drawing. There is no point in trying to trace something that only looks good because of the textures and shading.

Rethink the face idea

>>279362
>There is no point in trying to trace something that only looks good because of the textures and shading.
What the anon could do is to trace the main defining characteristics of the face, and use them as a starting point to simplify further.

But yeah, expecting to keep all the detail/shading/texture in a logo is nuts.

pixel art actually takes some time, so it depends on what kinda level you want it at. Do you want it animated would be the biggest question I would ask

>>279163
I'd need maybe 3-6 versions of each character so I can animate them

Why do you feel like a dick? Just mail them a planning of some sorts and the contract with it. For 500USD you're wasting everyone's time by actually going over there for a simple signature

>1. What's your experience as designers with dealing with contracts?
Never EVER work without a contract that specifies EXACTLY what you'll be delivering and what the client has to provide (text/images, etc) with time-frames.

>2. How should I go about getting my client to sign the contract?
The best way is to explain to them why signing a contract is necessary: it protects them since it sets up what YOU have to deliver, and it makes it clear to both parties what is expected.

Ideally you should sign a contract before starting any kind of work. Personally, any amount of less than $1000 dollars I ask my clients to pay up-front. More than that, I expect half upfront, half upon completion.

If a client doesn't want to sign a contract, fuck them. 99.9 percent of the time they'll either fuck you over or be such a gigantic pain in the ass that you'll end up losing money on the project anyway.

>3. Is a contract legal if signed between John Smith and Maria Lopez? Or does it have to be a registered legal person?
A contract can be signed among individuals and corporations, but you should look into the laws of your own country to make sure.

>4. Am I losing my time by asking a US board about legal issues in my country?
Yes.

I don't really have an answer for you OP, sorry; I'm just taking advantage of your thread to ask a related question: hypothetically speaking, if I live in a third world country, and my client is on the other side of the planet, let's say the US, what's the point of a contract? How am I protected, actually? I can't afford an American lawyer in case I don't get paid, and what's stopping the client from saying "Fuck this guy, what's he going to do while he's thousands of kilometers away?" Don't get me wrong—I'm all for it, but in some situations, it seems worthless.

can i get that crosshair link please?

tiltbrush is rather good for VR graphical design

This is actually something I've been thinking a lot about since VR became a thing. There's already an established design lexicon for 2D menus that we navigate with controllers, but how does that change with something as fundamentally different as VR? Can anything be improved, or is there even a need to improve it at all?

I'm by no means any sort of expert, though. Extremely limited programming knowledge and basically no real-world examples to show - would you consider taking on someone who'd be learning alongside you?

>>278957
Yes we would any help at all is needed
