Guest drewid Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 sexy logo. hmmmm "xenocide project xenocide" reads a bit odd tho.How about having the word "project", same size as now, but on top. like this gash version I've knocked up only better.

Deimos Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 The original rank icons were nice but I felt they were never really linked to a military feel and as such never really fit in well. TFTD however were much better as they had a marine feel to them. With that in mind I 've gone through the rank icons and designed them with a military feel in mind. I think that the feel would swing more towards Airforce/Navy than the Army (sorry to all you groundpounders) and have taken that into consideration when designing the rank icons. I've stuck with the same amount of ranks as to chage that would mean a lot of reworking and gameplay testing. All thats really needed is to rename each rank to fit in. With that in mind I think the ranks should go: Recruit - Can be from any rank in previous military but all newcomers to the xenocide project will start at this level (The idea for this came from the SAS). Replaces Rookie. Specialist replaces Squaddie. Lieutenant replaces Sergeant. Warrant Officer replaces Captain. Major replaces Colonel. General replaces Commander. These aren't final, just throwing ideas out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 The icons are quite a bit larger than they would be in the game probably about 400% larger. The colour of the background could change too, maybe an Olive green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drewid Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Glad you liked the TFTD icons, I did too, but then I'm biased Sergeant is three stripes, yes? I prefer commander to general.

I found a web page t'other day with some really nice rank reference. I'll see if I can find it if ya want.I wonder why you're biased Usually sergeant is three stripes but in this case its two. Which was primarily the reason for not naming it as sarge. The icons go 1---23---45---6 1 - Recruit2 - Specialist.3 - Lieutenant.4 - Warrant Officer.5 - Major.6 - General or Commander.

Guest drewid Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 There are two things that often get designed early in the process of a game. -Look and feel of interface, and name/logo.It's hard not to get sick of them by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamutas Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 I am not sure whether it is necessary to have 10 ranks. 6 is more than enough. Regarding icons, than I would prefer something more distinguished than the number of stripes, different symbols probably. I liked the triangle on the top though.

red knight Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 I guess that something a pretty more different, so you can see it on your guys shoulders on battlescape... You can even try different colours too... GreetingsRed Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breunor Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Having a noticeably different rank on the shoulder in the battlescape would be particularly fun in multiplayer, you could target officers to destroy morale of the enemy. :devilsmile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Squad Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 IMO dark green doenst show up very well. Try Silver. Why dont we use real rank insignias? Most people regonises them alot better, and less desining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people regonises them alot better, and less desining.Any bright colour is going to throw the balance of the image out totally. Rank insignia unless for dress purposes aren't meant to stick out like a sore thumb otherwise that would give the enemy something to shoot at The original xcom never used 'real' insignia so we have to do the same to keep the 'feel'. Anyway I like designing, that's what I do if I don't I'll not have anything to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deimos Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I guess I forgot to add that they are much larger than they will be in game. I'm guessing they'll be around this sort of size where they are seen in the equip screen. I'd say even smaller when actually on the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Squad Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Well if no silver (which is by the way used in real insignias) Make green little brighter or make more variation to gold parts. So they would be more easily regonised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drewid Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I would agree about the green being brighter, a blue (contrast) or silver would work too. In the field these would probably keep the same designs but not in bright colours.These days real soldiers have camo insignia so you have to be right next to them even to see it, The Bright insignia are kept for dress uniform or non-combat missions.

Xracer Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 i lke the new insignias they look much nicerand i do see they follow a partern but i still think you should add at least two more ranks, as i see it you go from sergeant to cpatain and from captain to Brig. Gen.i just believe there should just be a little more eeerr... i gues buffer zone i mean i would love to get promoted from sergeant to Captain but how about if you create Staff NCO "Non-Commisioned Officer" well just my $0.02see you Xracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deimos Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 We sort of decided on a military style patch not a lot of colour with a large x through the centre. Maverick did a concept somewhere. I was thinking it should have an airforce or marines feeling to it rather than an army style. So elongated triangles and stuff like that. However if you guys want to fire up concepts in here feel free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatGold Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 Well I threw something together real quick. I'm horrible at photoshop still, so just think of these as general ideas.

GreatGold Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 (edited) But what I really wanted to do, but couldnt get to work, is a combination of these two, so that you had the patch, starfield background, blue orb, and an alien face within the orb, lastly emblazed with the Xenocide name.

Guest drewid Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 I thinnk we propably need to finalise our military force name before we can finish the logo. The shield patch idea is. that looks like it would look good on an arm or a base wall. The other patch had an earthglobe on it which would be good. and I like the shape of the Demich's logo. I feel an idea coming on. I'll knock something up when it's had time to brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
