March 29, 20187 yr the punisher shit is awful. not shitting on your talent x-6 but it’s just wrong for the board. trying too hard to be edgy. dickbutt is more our speed.
March 29, 20187 yr @Patricio Swayze requested the Danzig icon be reconfigured as a possible brand in the Tapa thread. I've worked on it a little today and came up with the below. Thoughts? I can also look at making banners of this or other elements if there is a need. Edited March 29, 20187 yr by SmokeyTheBear
March 29, 20187 yr Looks pretty damn good. I sent you a PM. I didn’t necessarily think it should be for this site, I more wanted it for a shirt. Had thought about it years ago but kept putting it off.

Dickbutt definitely more our speed, but probably NWS. We're more laid back/National Lampoon-type of stuff than angry teens. I'm not saying the punisher thing is only angry teens (and it's very well-drawn), but that's what it would come across as. It's not hard to draw a cow/bull, as shown in this image: Edited March 29, 20187 yr by atomheartbevo

No worries. I've expressed my doubts as well. I'll do that more cartoony one and see if people like it. I'm not really emotionally invested in it one way or another. Being a creative for a couple decades disabuses you of the notion that you have to have you heart tied to any one thing.

To get rid of that black fringing around the picture, set the layer's opacity setting to "Lighten".

I'm using GIMP for the first time to develop this out and there is a bit of a learning curve. Used to PS but dont have it handy on my work computer. I'll do more refining but didn't want to go all out until I know these are actually going to be useful. Thanks for the tip though.
March 29, 20187 yr GIMP is a good program. It did take some getting used to, at least for me. Somebody posted a picture of an actual, angry bull. I kind of liked that. Maybe a surlster can snap a picture of his bull that we could use. Edited March 29, 20187 yr by retread

It was commissioned by the government during the New Deal so I think it's public domain. Take the black longhorn and make him burnt orange and I think we may have something. As much as I love thujone's logo proposal, I don't think my employer would like it on my desktop too much

I was checking old dm's before I quit shag and there were several guys that wanted to make shirts out of my avatar but never heard any one actually do it.

April 1, 20187 yr Here's an image that might be useful to work from. Horns need lengthening, could use some orange tint, maybe some "snort" coming out of the nose, a pair of Oakley's. But it's got a good Surly quality about it. Just don't tell anyone in Durham where it came from.

Needs a lot more work with fonts, sizing, placing, colors, exposure, etc..
April 1, 20187 yr That Longhorn is buff. We need to make it old and fat to better represent the majority of posters.
April 1, 20187 yr That looks outstanding, but I think "Surly Horns" probably needs to be incorporated into the graphic instead of off to a side. If it's part of the graphic, it can be rendered much more dramatically.

April 2, 20187 yr Different font types - serifs, sans serifs, curved. Not too serious about the last one. #1 #2 #3 #4
April 3, 20187 yr I like number 3. Oh by any chance will it ever be viewable for us phone users not on tapa? Edited April 3, 20187 yr by workswithseed Hori

April 19, 20187 yr I’ve communicated with Xminus6 and informed him that I had a few working ideas and illustrations but I’ve been sick as a dog since that correspondence. I’ll try to get them finished out a bit from the pencils either tonight or tomorrow. Great work, everyone.

April 21, 20187 yr Make the horns a little longer and more longhorny looking? More straight out then up. I for one, am ready for Bevo to have big horns already! Like this: https://goo.gl/images/nvyfFi
April 21, 20187 yr I'd go with Thujone's bevo, his permission provided. His MS Paint cartoons have been part of Shaggy.

April 21, 20187 yr Is that an excuse? Put your white hat on and man up. I wish it was an excuse. But since I’ve actually been sick it’s more of a reason. Kinda like rules versus guidelines...
