I made The Mana World logotype in 2005. During 4 years I learned a lot. Recently I couldn’t find even high quality version of it. I decided to mess around with original logo design. It’s still vector concept of logo. I thought about 3D render with some nice effects like glass-like orb in middle. Bump mapping on carvings, etc. We could made even animated version for loadings or other purposes.
Rotonen anounced lately “Windows installer picture replacement competition” http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&p=58096 so maybe you could tell devs, that old logo shouldn’t be used (it looks good, but we want better one, right?)
BTW, what about concrete walls tileset? Are you plan to still work on it in the future? It looks really great and TMW atm is just one big village with peasants collecting herbs, nuts, logs, etc :P
@duodle:
1. New logo is just mearly concept. It isn’t finished at all.
2. Concrete walls tileset was abandoned. Source files may be found on GIT repositiory (tmwart) in “Irukard” section.
Imagine if the logo was animated and the mana orb is rotating on its own axis. Are you doing this in blender by any chance?
