Looking pretty good so far...
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
Make the globe old world, or wrap the map around a sphere...so its easier for you to match it with the Rogue Isle map (save your self some anguish). People might not recognize it as the Rogue Isle on first glance, with a standard globe (blue water) look. I thought it was just an odd angle on usual world globe.
Worry about the aranchos background later..put your shark elements in.
That's all I got, but I'm not a professional.

Hon, that's what I was trying to tell you over MSN about the coloring. But I just couldn't get the right words out lol.

like it so far
I reworked the globe last night, put it through a blur filter to soften the coastlines a changed the colors to make it seem darker. Here's how it looks now...
RIMC Logo v2
Well after a few days of poking around my photoshop-fu has been getting stronger. So last night while ODing on caffeine I started over from scratch and came up with this...
RIMC Logo v3
I'm still not 100% sure about the shading on the Arachnos emblem, might revisit that later, but that's pretty final. I've been working on the sharks and should have a few sketches up this weekend. Let me know what you all think!
It\s coming together really well.
Well, I've decided to get off my lazy [censored] and learn the ways of Photoshop-Fu to make RIMC's VG logo myself. I took inspiration from the USMC logo's layout.
Using that as a basis, what I'm trying for is...
Instead of a globe centered on the Americas, I want one centered on the Rogue Isles. Kinda zoomed in, so all you see is the Isles.
Instead of an eagle, a spider atop the globe in a threatening posture. Pictured so you're facing it and its front legs are outstretched, ready to pounce.
Next instead of the anchor, I want two sharks, a hammerhead and a mako, wrapping around the bottom of the globe, face to face.
Finally, I want the whole thing super-imposed on the Arachnos Emblem.
Here's what I have so far. Using Photoshop and MS Paint I screwed around with a map of the Rogue Isles until it looked somewhat decent. Then I resized it and super-imposed it over the Arachnos emblem. Next step will be the sharks, which I plan on hand drawing, scanning and overlaying on the globe.
So any critiques and comments? This is my first foray into art since my high-school days, so anything is welcome.
