Still to come?:
There may be some additions, such as:
-Background assets
-Extended palette
-Headers
-Etc

Any changes, additons or new assets will be added if and when they are created.

A massive thank you to everybody who has been a part of the design process over the past few months. While it has had its fair share of ups and downs, I think you will all agree that the final product was worth the wait.

Special thanks to Cooper for helping me to drive the process and Rizlar for providing us with many hours of personal graphical work to help piece together the ideas.

[Orius]

It was worth the wait and arguments! Looks fab.

[EsotericReverie]

It is Sweet™.

[BasicPauly]

Approved and updated, for maximum awesome.

[Rizlar]

We don't need to link both supermassive files. Just the .psd should be fine, since that's the one everyone seems able to open. Just realised it's the old link from Cooper's post in the other thread, this is the new link for the fixed version: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bp5hvb9e6d92xe8

Could possibly replace the note with one about how it's an unreasonably large file and should only be used by people who want to use elements from the design to make their own. Perhaps need another large-scale lossless file for people that just want to scale down instead (flattened layers, about half the resolution as the original, .psd with transparent background)?

[MrEclectic]

Has anyone sent TRay the logo? I think the link is in the original discussion thread

Yes, Cooper did. And TRay has responded that he "got it".

Personally, Ive been using the tiff, and its nice to have options given that they are there anyway.

Regarding the note about downloading, Ill update the original post. Its not exactly large, even at several MB, so its not that big a deal even for people who want to scale it down. One file for both has the benefit of both flexibility and ease of use, so downloading a slightly bigger file isnt that big a deal I wouldnt say. Only takes a minute!

That said, if you want another version on there that is just a flat scaleable, feel free to host one and drop the link here, and ill add it. If you want it added to the website, you will have to contact somebody with access to it because I cannot.

Awesome! If it is added in game, will this mean we have to purchase it with SC, or will they be unlocked for the relevant outfits to use :/ ?

No specifics yet, but my guess is that it will be an SC purchase (decals usually go for around 500 SC). We will have to wait and see, it is scheduled for release in June.

Fair enough, I wanted to make it easier for people who didn't need all the layers etc, plus try to avoid people getting issues from resizing without first flattening the image. Then again, who is actually going to need to use the official logo? It's possible that anyone using it will know what to do with a layered file already. Here is the link to a 300dpi flat .psd with transparent background, in case you want it anyway.

I would consider this good enough as a 'master file' to scale down from, with the layered one still there for making variants.

Re: custom decal purchases, seems like it would makes sense to have it as a one-off buy that changes depending on what outfit you are in (like a guild tabard in WoW). Then again, I can imagine them trying to monitise the hell out of it by making you buy a new one for every outfit (although that would be unbelievably douchey). Anyone know what T-Bone is actually doing with the logos? Perhaps he's just using them to develop the decal uploader rather than something more exciting...

I imagine he's using them to test whatever they decide upon.

It seems to me they have two options. One is a decal uploader and upon logging into a server your client downloads all decals for all outfits on that server. Which should be a handful of MB.

The alternative is to have decals be something like an SVG or something similar with an in-game designer. Go see APB(reloaded) for a good example of how complex images can be made from a pre-determined set of primitives and thus keep file sizes really small. (If all you are supplying is info like position & colour for pre-set primitives you are passing a tiny amount of information in comparison to a raster of any type).

There is, of course, the third alternative. Which is a crap alternative, but I wouldn't put it past SOE. Which is to have outfit decals downloaded on-the-fly as you encounter them. Even a few dozen KB downloaded & written to HDD in the middle of a firefight is enough to cause stuttering...

[BasicPauly]

Fair enough, I wanted to make it easier for people who didn't need all the layers etc, plus try to avoid people getting issues from resizing without first flattening the image.

Well, I would assume that anybody making use of the graphics and wanting a big size would at least know the basics.
Besides, there is no need to flatten the image before copying, at least not if you are using photoshop as you can use the copy merged shortcut and paste it into a new document.

Anyway, Ill stick it up there because it doesnt hurt to have options.

[Rizlar]

Yeah, my use of the word 'flatten' might have confused things there. I was actually referring to distortions that occur when you dramatically resize a layered image, which are avoided by just merging the layers. Having a pre-merged version for people to scale down just avoids any potential distortion problems.

The alternative is to have decals be something like an SVG or something similar with an in-game designer.

Shit, yeah, it's possible he just wants logo examples to create the right sort of component shapes for something like that. I can see that sort of system being popular with the devs. Would prefer the ability to actually upload a decal though.

[QuantaCat]

isnt this the point of using vector graphics? which one did we send him then?

[Rizlar]

Nah, we never got round to making a vector one due to too many sketchy bits.

Think he was sent a massive PNG.

[QuantaCat]

yeah, thats going to be working against us in decals

[apricotsoup]

Barring the planet it wouldn't be hard to turn it into an SVG, the sketchy bits may not come across 100% the same but would be fairly close.

I can probably knock one together sometime if it was needed.

[sketchseven]

Remind me who was part of the film lot?

[Ksempac]

I agree with Cooper that they aren't actually putting them in the game, but using them to test that whatever tool they are working on can handle them.

If they were actually planning to put them ingame they would have made a more formal request, with requirements (file type, file size, image dimensions) and they would register which image belongs to which outfit (and their server)
