Magic - User System Framework

[Jaysun]

Sorry for the double post can someone merge?

I did a little editing to the logo above and here's what I came up with.









I don't really like how they turned out.

I quite like the first one. Why dont you use the techniques you used for that and make the star glow and have the lens flare things around it?

[Jaysun]

I don't know exactly what you mean. Can you explain in further detail please =)

[Meti]

Sounds great. Maybe some more functions would be even better?

I like the designs, but hinting on what Source said, you could put the wand on the letter M, or something, and the colours behind it with a few stars around? I'm not sure - but the first one is definitely better.

Wow Some awesome logo ideas!

Thanks for the inputs you guys, your doing great work
One challenge that comes here though is possibly attempting to integrate the logo (whether it be one of the above or a variant / compilation) which the default Magic template
But seriously, there's are all way better that I ever imagined getting

@ Source and Jayson

Possibly a hard request but is it possible to change the tagline in the logos to "community site engine"

People generally read fraimwork and assume the systems somthing its not, so i though a name such as the above would help make it clear exactly what magic did. Though i can imagine issues with attempting to fit the longer sentance in to the logo :/ (heh sorry to be a diffacult customer when you guys are doing this for free, I'll be sure include you both in the credits as you guys are helping out alot )

[Jaysun]

I ok I see what you guys mean. I'll need the .psd from Source though before I can do that.

@Mentor
Don't worry this is giving me some practice and work to do =) Also Source has .psd for the original logo, so he may be able to change the logos tagline. I've sent you another GUI draft.
