It's awesome. And I doubt Konami will say anything about it. I vote for it!

The Xevious one is beautiful!

But the Salamander one just matches better with the current forum layout :wink:

Hmm..I wanted to try this...though, my logo is horribly ugly compared to the ones above...XD

Well, I did it for fun mostly...

I feel it`s much too girly though....then again...I guess it`s because I`m a girl..?

I wish I had something better than MS Paint...

Awesome! I would vote for this, but the salamander rip-off is more readable.

Gosh, how many entries were there? This thread is way old, and we still have the old logo(and it's a good logo too...i'd stick with it).

Why not make the logo rotate? Randomize the pic over a bunch of good entries.

While I doubt it will be seriously considered for the logo, there are actually a couple of panels there I like. Cute!

I have some ideas I'm going to be starting to mess around with soon. My vision is basically an explosion with a bullet pattern around it and the "shmups"... oh wait thats what we already have :?
hmmm back to the drawing board I suppose.

Someone could make a big bullet pattern that spelled out SHMUPS. Or a bullet patter that had empty spaces in it that spelled it out. That's an idea. Go for purple or blue..not pink!

What I like about the current logo is that is simultaneously represents different sides of shmups, from the initially cheesy retro/disco appearance to the imagery of outer space and a ringed planet to a modern boss emitting bullet spreads.

Anybody care if these logos get stolen for the shmupswiki eventually?

DJI: if you mean the logos I've done, no problem at all, I also got a few others that I could post.

I got a Darius one that looks ok.


edit (the full size version looks better):

and the one I used as a sig for a while (maybe I got a bigger version somewhere):

No one knows who in nine hells I am but I figured I'd better contribute to the community rather than lurk about.

Without further ado, here's my logo. Yes it was made from scratch. No it's not from Metal Slug. Yes I wanted to make it look like it was from Metal Slug.

Cheers! :wink:
