MakeHuman Logo Art

[VitalBodies]

Today while trying to get AQSIS to work with MakeHuman I made this artwork...
Just for fun. My own take on this fun and exciting open source offering.



What I like about this version of the artwork:
More of a hand written "human" font.
Outline of the human is from the current version of MakeHuman.
The two figures create a nice dynamic.

What I do not like about this version:
Needs more work to display well really small.

Nice font...
When I've time I'd like to publish an history of MHlogo. It seem the human in the logo has stimulated a lot of creative ideas during these years

Best,

Manuel

That would be fun to see. : )

And doing art is fun!
Nice to have the software to make it happen...

More Art for fun...

Hi VitalBodies.. hope you don't mind me using the button for download icons of makehuman in the blog .. I liked this last one

I liked most of the artwork here.. The current makehuman splashscreen reminds me of Poser Pro, box:



Hope Poser don't sue us Though I don't think they are very very similar, I actually like our splashscreen.

How fun!
Let me know if there is a custom size you want, some other change or a different graphic altogether for the blog or other location.

I've used the download icon here:

https://sites.google.com/site/makehumandocs/

Unfortunately, it will be needed to change the font, in order to match the official one...but it's so nice that I've used it anyway

@Jose: well..our splash screen has a "progress" idea: the man is going gradually to stand up...in 1.0 stable it should be completely up

Where can I get the official MakeHuman font?
I think the readability of the font is very nice and works well small or large on logos.

Is there a size the splash screen should be?

I have been making logos and download buttons more or less a random size and for a white background.
I make these in Inkscape so I can resize them if/as needed.
There are size considerations:
The invisible background which is the overall size.
Should there be a drop shadow or not or does the button go edge to edge with other buttons.
The size of the logo or button itself.
I would need to know the overall size if you have a special place you want a logo or button that is a fixed size - I would need to know if you want a drop shadow and/or space around the button/logo or edge to edge.

Note that the light comes from the top left so the shadow in on the bottom right. If the site(s) or software uses light from the top right (or other location) that should also be indicated.

This should IMO look better than the old version (but use what you like).
There are enhanced shadows and other subtle changes for the MakeHuman site(s) medium 60% grey background.

Just think of the fun one could have with the official font!

Approximate look on the MakeHuman site(s) 60% grey background.



What would one want the box to say?

What I like:
I like how this turned out - it rocks - I liked the overall impression that is made - PRO software.
I liked the 3d quality of the box and the subtle lighting effects that I added.
If nothing else this would make some nice eye candy on the MakeHuman blog.
What I did not like:
Not sure what the wording should be so I made a rough draft attempt.

Update:
If I did this again I would change the wording at the bottom slightly and add the version number to see if there is an improvement.
I would make the edge/corner of the box lighter to compare to the darker edge.
Not sure about the version number or not.
