Very pixelated. I like the idea but not sure if it's working yet, the gradient may look better at a -90 degree angle so the bottom of the words are darker than the top, and also applied to the whole thing, not individual lettering. The tail part should have the same height as the r maybe and the head needs some work!

TeZ · 16-09-2008, 11:24

Nice idea. Loose the tail (make the R part of a tail?) and that awful gradient please change.

Agricola · 16-09-2008, 11:31

make it look more like dinosaur! do you have any height restrictions? If not maybe put the I on top of the N to make long neck, make N bit taller but not same height as the O, make the S same size as the N, make the R smaller, then reduce each letter in height to give a taper effect. I would also go with a single gradient over the whole thing, but there again im a code monkey so what do i know about design lol

CharmingMan · 16-09-2008, 11:32

whats it for?

Soup Of The Day · 16-09-2008, 11:34

Great idea!

I'm not sure about the backwards "D" though, especially since it's the first letter, might be confusing.

allgiggles1984 · 16-09-2008, 11:41

I've looked at soooo much...Does it look like a dinosaur?

allgiggles1984 · 16-09-2008, 11:42

Sorry cant change gradiet or colours. It HAS to be that colour and gradietn. sorry.

Kemp · 16-09-2008, 11:44

It looks like a dinosaur, just not a very good one yet! I can see it working though. You may want to consider your kerning, even though the letters are jumbled I think it should still have the same principles as any other piece

You can still change the gradient direction though surely? make it go from dark at bottom to light at top?

d*d · 16-09-2008, 13:37

looks like a worm more than a dinosaur, the backwards D isn't helping legibility. I would find a picture of a dinosaur and then use this as a guide.

Maerk · 16-09-2008, 13:46

Dinosaur ?

edit - hm they changed the logo to be fluffy now?

fasterthanlight · 16-09-2008, 14:26

Maybe reverse the direction of the dinosaur shape so that its left - to -right

that way you can molest the R into the head, and flip the D back normally...

me thinks you need to add some feet though, and some kind of actual tail

No they haven't. It's just there for the animation.

Hmm...I thought that for a bit but there's different kind of dinosaurs. This one is the one with the hump on its back hahaha

mrblack · 19-09-2008, 04:46

I think the D is definitely a bit confusing at first. Feet might help though. Have you tried stretching and manipulating the bottoms of the N and R for legs?

steharg · 19-09-2008, 05:41

nice idea but as agreed above its not there yet... like the idea of the legs coming from the bottom of the letters though

Perhaps its more to do with my bad eyesight?

It's okay. I know what you mean. I want to draw an outline of one in Illustrator and stretch letters into the shape. I'll give that a go. Hmm...rather than trying it this way.
