- Thread starter david1995w
- Start date
What's wrong with the current logo?
It was updated not long ago and matches the default theme.

@jolek i posted that image of the actual logo because im not sure what you was asking for, if it was simply the zrnic font with a degrade of blue colors, or you wanted to create all the characters of the text
-The colors are flipped
Dark blue should be at top, and light blue at bottom
-The geometry is distorted
Using the "P" character as reference, we can use the concept of "aspect ratio" (width/height) to check the proportions of a single character (the "P"), the characters needs more width
-Low readability in the text at bottom
There is a very low contrast in between the right of the sentence at bottom with dark blue versus the black background, it makes the text at bottom almost unreadable
-Some confusing characters in the text at bottom
LOADER... LORDER... LORDEA... LOROEA

The logo isn't drawn on black on the console, it has transparency and a grey rectangle is drawn over the entire screen.

If you check out Korium (default theme)
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/opl-theme-korium-hi-res.20471/
Notice the device icons have that blue gradient effect which matches the current logo (default disc icon also looks like this), also the background is a staticy grey colour.. this matches the grey background of the logo also and if you check the memory card icon (I can't find a pic atm) it also matches.
The idea was to have it all match so it feels like a complete application if that makes sense, I think that's what @Tupakaveli is getting at.
Of course people are free to do as they wish, I'm just letting you know why things are currently as they are; as you might not know they all match

Ok, this is the second time i suggest something related with design (that in my oppinion are improvements) and the answer is... "is not posible to do it, because korium"
Not sure if you realized how restrictive is becoming the migration to korium
Anyway, im not an OPL user so i dont want to discuss or critizise stuff, im just offering a bit of help with design, but i got it, korium doesnt likes me

Forget what I wrote, that is why I add (after edit) facepalm.
Something just got mix up in my head...
Its been a while since I launch OPL and I forget how current logo looks like...

Thank you for your contribution, you really got great ideas.
It was IMO just concept art.
Current design and logo should be fine.

Sorry guys. I don't have much time these days.
@El_isra I forgot about those logos. I got something for the loading logo, but I don't know, maybe it's the best stay basic with a classic loading circle or something like that. I'll upload it tomorrow or sunday.
@El_Patas What do you mean exactly? Just the colors of the background? And the colors with the images (Goku and all that) of the others?
@TnA Ok, I didn't know it could be a problem. I didn't create the logo, just add some changes in color and some glow. I could try doing the same effect but with the OPL logo you guys have posted.
@sandungas the problem with a full black background is you can't add shade or shadows to the logo. The grey is for that, if you want to add a darkest zone to the image. I think it looks better with that grey.

@El_isra That's amazing!! With those colors it's fine by now. Make all you want or like. Thank you! Can you post a pic or something? What font did you use? The actual font in OPL it's Roboto.
About the theme, you may know this theme it's using the PSX logo for POPSTARTEr and because of that, it could not be a theme for the Official OPL. So I don't know if is a problem uploading it here at PSX-Place. At PS2 Home should be Ok. If you want, take the first logo I made and maybe you guys can use it for the non-official OPL releases. Like this:
Next thing, the loading logo. There is a web (loading.io) where have samples of loading logos, but just a few free. I chosed this and I think it looks ok with the non official Logo and the theme. But yeah, I need to do something better ahaha.
This is a video (without the glow transition. If you want it with the full effect, tell me) with the loading logo:

@El_Patas Tell me if you want more colors.

@david1995w What do you think of the logo glowing more and less and more and less?

It won't affect at all. since the device images are individual elm.png wont be used by opl ifcaro builds
You'll see the pops icon but you won't be able to select it, that's all
