HellBound Records Logo

[TERRELL]

Take a peek...
Of course you all know its gonna have a black background.But I feel somethings missing.The inside or sumthin.I can't quite pinpoint it yet.But I can feel more elemonets should go into this..I'm gonna add smoke to the muzzle of the gun.Any kinda feedback/suggestions on what can be added will be appreciative...Or should I leave as is.....1

BTW-This is an HipHop label outta.......

Looks great as is but if the bg is going to be black which is (IMHO) the way to go, you might consider some flames behind the "Death" character.

well based on the very little i know... usually logos are supposed to be simple and not have more than 2-3 colors...

but what u have here could be a kew poster or something...

and also instead of smoke.. i would try a bullet exiting (with a lotta motion blur w00t) or a red laser beam coming out of the gun (also with a lotta motion blur w00t)

...hope this helps...

oh yea... also the font is kinda straight edge if u know what i mean.. u need to make it bling bling :lol

Great image man! Add some flames with ghostly face's in them.

Beveled text is best used sparingly but (IMHO) it works on this piece for sure! :)

imho -

sorry if any of these comments have been posted aready, but her are mine:

the image is already in 2 colors (in response to an earlier post) (black and red)

the border around the image is easily recognizable as a basic 'layer style' pattern which is included in ps, try to create your own pattern for it. It will lokk much better when a photoshopper sees it.

white point - the guns have a much deeper range of contrast in them then the death charactor does. Try adjusting it in the lower slider in the 'levels' options box until it better fits the rest of the image. (same goes for the teeth)

gun grip - the hands vary greatly in the way that they are gripping the guns... it looks like the gun on the right should be angled more like the one on the left based upon the bones in the hand. The guns also appear to be pointing in 2 completely different directions...

hellbound records text - move 'hellbound' to the top and the grim reaper in the middle, and adjust the text effects to beffer mimic the curves of the circle.
to kind of see what i mean look at how the 'year warranty' in this image (http://1306girard.com/images/other/11.11.02-CSN-Midd-Journal-V.jpg) wraps.

Also, try developing logos in non-pixel based formats such as vector graphics, this makes the logos expandable to larger formats such as walls, vehicles, etc without distortion.
