kamoh Posted October 27, 2006 Author Posted October 27, 2006 I'm looking to have a permanent OCRCL logo that has a fairly classy look about it. Something like the NFL or FIFA or something, something that I can use over and over again. Anyone with photoshopping skills willing to generate a logo - send me an IM or PM. I'd like a logo with some of the old OCR colors (shades of purple) but I'd go with anything, and a chess theme is probably necessary. Thanks to you guys in advance if you decide to undertake my...er...challenge. Quote

I'd be thrilled to take a stab at it, but I don't really know what the old OCR used to look like (not to make you feel old, or anything, Kamoh). I don't suppose you could post some example of what the old colors used to look like? If so, I'll get started right away. Quote
KeeganTheFox Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Feedback? AMAZING! Sig sized mayhaps? Quote
margoute Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I am leaving for Boston, so I will not be online for 4 days. Kamoh, I will still have time to play on the next week, so dont give me bye pls. Ill be back on Tuesday Quote
snerrak Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 So what's everybody think about this one? It's sig sized. Quote
kamoh Posted October 28, 2006 Author Posted October 28, 2006 http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=92001 For a flavor of the old. One idea I had was to have a stylized or silhouetted lineup of a pawn, rook, knight, bishop, queen, and king; each one a little taller than the one before...also the king wouldn't have a cross on his head - he'd have a pretzel. This logo idea would not incorporate a chessboard (and I'd honestly like to stay away from that since it's kinda tacky - maybe just four panels. Edit: I like the first one (sorry Chris - meh is the word but now you know better what things look like). Edit2: Also, maybe, the OCR logo with the controller and the headphones or a variation of it?

Rainman DX Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 mkay, here's my submission. Smaller than I thought it was gonna be, but if you like it, and are willing to give me more time, I can make it bigger. Maybe. Quote
kamoh Posted October 29, 2006 Author Posted October 29, 2006 I'm sorry if I feel like I've got really high standards, but these ones aren't quite what I'm looking for yet. Something fairly clean, yanno, something with some class maybe. Who knows Anyways, I'm not pressuring anyone into doing this real well or anything - I just want to choose the right logo idea. Quote
friendlyHunter Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Don't worry, I did it really fast, it can still be improved. Hope you like it! And oh yeah, this is my first post in an OCRCL thread... hi! LOL there's a typo, oops Quote
Rainman DX Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 ...these ones aren't quite what I'm looking for yet. Something fairly clean, yanno, something with some class maybe. Who knows... Gosh dangit, kamoh, stop being a freakin' noob. Don't give us qualitative generalizations, tell us what elements you like from each one submitted so far, and we'll go with that. Be specific. It's not like you're going to offend one of us or anything. Quote
friendlyHunter Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 ...these ones aren't quite what I'm looking for yet. Something fairly clean, yanno, something with some class maybe. Who knows... Clearly kamoh DOESN'T know what he wants, that's why he can't be more specific =p Fortunately, I have a bit of a sixth sense for these things. Here's yer logo, you'd better like it! [Edit] Hmmmm, doesn't look so good on that background. Here it is again: Quote
Rainman DX Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Gee, fH, I really like the first one - slightly darker, more defined... The second one is too washed out. Just add the border from the second one to the first one, and you've got it, I think! Looks really good. Too bad you didn't stick with the "OverClicked" - I liked it! Quote
snerrak Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I won two against Ks Sox. Much frustration with Yahoo! there. It messed with my screen and we had to replay what we had already played out. Quote
snerrak Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Let's see what's wrong with the picture... Look at Ks. Sox piece collection, where his pieces are located, where my pieces are located, where my pieces are located and also look at the move count. Yahoo! is being bastardous to me. Meh. Oh well. Good games. Quote
damathacus Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I won two against Ks Sox. Much frustration with Yahoo! there. It messed with my screen and we had to replay what we had already played out. I had that same problem with Margo a couple weeks ago. We managed to get the old yahoo working and had our games there (we could only connect to the new yahoo at first). Quote
LongeBane Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 1-1 vs. Clef. Both won as white. Wait a minute, I didn't even play you Quote
JohnDriLLL Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 http://www.kopecchess.com/bratko.html take that test and tell me what u get I got 1600-1700 there are 25 problems so it takes a minute. Quote
kamoh Posted October 30, 2006 Author Posted October 30, 2006 1-1 vs. Clef. Both won as white. Wait a minute, I didn't even play you Figure it out plz. PMs are welcomes If you have issue tell me. Quote
Bahamut Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Bahamut wins 2 optional games vs Dama...but check out this move history: ;Title: Yahoo! Chess Game;White: damathacus;Black: ilovepsi84;Date: Mon Oct 30 04:52:32 GMT 20061. d2-d4 g8-f62. c2-c4 g7-g63. g1-f3 f8-g74. e2-e3 d7-d55. b2-b3 e7-e66. f1-d3 o-o7. o-o b7-b68. b1-c3 c8-b79. c1-a3 f8-e810. d1-c2 d5xc411. d3xc4 b7xf312. g2xf3 b8-d713. c4-a6 f6-h514. f3-f4 d8-h415. c3-b5 h4-g4+16. g1-h1 g4-f3+17. h1-g1 e8-d818. a1-c1 d7-f619. c2xc7 f6-d520. c7-c6 f3-g4+21. g1-h1 h5-f622. c1-c4 g4-f3+23. h1-g1 f6-g424. f1-c1 f3xf2+25. g1-h1 f2xh2++ It was a toughie, and we were both tight on time towards the end.

damathacus Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Played Bahamut as my bonus match. He won both. The second game was pretty good, thus I'll post it here. ;Title: Yahoo! Chess Game;White: damathacus;Black: ilovepsi84;Date: Mon Oct 30 04:53:25 GMT 20061. d2-d4 g8-f62. c2-c4 g7-g63. g1-f3 f8-g74. e2-e3 d7-d55. b2-b3 e7-e66. f1-d3 o-o7. o-o b7-b68. b1-c3 c8-b79. c1-a3 f8-e810. d1-c2 d5xc411. d3xc4 b7xf312. g2xf3 b8-d713. c4-a6 f6-h514. f3-f4 d8-h415. c3-b5 h4-g4+16. g1-h1 g4-f3+17. h1-g1 e8-d818. a1-c1 d7-f619. c2xc7 f6-d520. c7-c6 f3-g4+21. g1-h1 h5-f622. c1-c4 g4-f3+23. h1-g1 f6-g424. f1-c1 f3xf2+25. g1-h1 f2xh2++ Edit: Beat me to the punch. Probably the most interesting thing about this game for me was that both us were down to about two minutes. This is unusual because usually if I'm at two minutes, Bahamut is at eight. Kind of an unfortunate loss at the end. I guess I wasn't really thinking there. Oh, well. Quote
