Good intentions triplesec, but I think it needs to be cleaner and more simple. The graphic will be in the thread's first post, so I would say it needs to have a white background by default, with only the logo itself on top of it. I personally don't think an image of the case is necessary in the logo, as anyone who clicks this thread most likely has an idea of what and why, and even if they don't in that very same post there will be links to plenty of pictures. I really wish I had photoshop, I'd give it some attempts. Try just finding a slick, clean font, and play with parallel/perpendicular lettering, some simple geometric fillers perhaps, and if you feel that lacks definition give the text a border so it's two tone. Clean and simple always wins out, look at any company logo out there.

Edit: Another idea would be to produce a large CM that acts as a background and layer 690 over top of it in smaller letters, finished with Club beneath. Find the right color scheme and fonts and I bet that will be all you need.

Thanks for the ideas Darin. Right now I am tinkering. That last one I put up was by no means supposed to be for the club(Should have stated that..lol) That one was a wallpaper I made for myself.
But I will take your advice and make up some clean images later.

Things I tried (the case MUST be closed, and you must have a window for these ideas to work; either that, or you must have x-ray vision LOL):

Incense smoke through intakes (doesn't really work, though, if your fan is really powerful, as this disperses the smoke far too much for you to see the air flow pattern).

Strips of paper or light plastic (like from a shopping bag) taped at strategic places, which should show how the air is moving.

Remember, the case MUST be closed for this idea to work. An open-sided case doesn't work because the case is a closed system; the internal aerodynamics are completely different with the side panel off.

Hope this helps!

(By the way, I own a CM690 too. When I get pictures of that rig, I'll post them here.

)

guess my fans too powerful. XD incense smoke dont work.. i see it go in.. but thats the extent of it haha. dang. "Strategic places" @_@ lol any suggestions? haha.. man @_@ i broke the lit part of incense accidently and it fell on my shorts.. near "that" area.. quickly took a paper towel and picked it up.. theres a small hole in my shorts now @_@.. dam that was a danger to the next generation @_@

Triplesec · 03-29-08

Darin · 03-29-08

Good idea trip, not too simple though i think. it's the need to do things like extrude edges and add gradients that make it seem like it's missing something. The more detail you add the more the entire design has to be detailed in it's synthesis. The gradient lacks the resolution required, which gives the image a blocky look. I think the layout is solid, more than simplicity I think the fonts are lacking in style. Lay off the fill effects, find some more detailed fonts (they do the "style" work for you), and just use a solid color scheme. Maybe a black/white/silver to keep with the case colors. If you find the text blending, do like I said and add a border. You want to make sure you are using tt fonts, and that everything has the same feel as far as smoothing is concerned. So if you want to go for an oldschool pc text effect, make sure the entire design follows that theme, if you want something more smooth and rich, make sure you avoid any fonts with sharp edges.
