    Because I am an avid movie and image editor, the first thing I said when I bought Rust was "Damn, that logo is ugly."
    So, I decided to take it into my own hands to make two versions that I think are better.

    Version #1; Rust Enhanced
    An edited version of the logo to be simply nicer.

    Higher Quality: http://i.imgur.com/lQvIPH5.png
    Before & After: http://i.imgur.com/9vj0fG6.png

    Version #2; Sonic Fan Character Completely Original Content DO NOT STEAL Exoquatic Productions Copyright 2014
    READ THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
    IF YOU THINK I AM SERIOUSLY COPYRIGHTING THIS YOU ARE A FUCKING RETARD
    KILL YOURSELF

    A completely custom logo made for Rust. It's supposed to be a radioactive logo with an extra ray.

    Higher Quality: 512x512 http://i.imgur.com/vFbqtwt.png
    Source Quality: 1667x1667 http://i.imgur.com/jOkQZDw.jpg ( imgur strangely converted this to a jpg )

    -------------------------

    Also, here's a better shortcut icon. Well, at least I think it's better.
    Download it at https://www.mediafire.com/?gcqddtadthqv16t


    ( it looks better when you use it, i promise )

    It's okay if you don't notice. I'm a computer clean-freak, and the spaces between all the boxes were different sizes and really ugly to me, most people wouldn't notice.

    The thing is, if you made minor adjustments that are hardly noticeable, what is really the point? Besides, you never see the logo in-game...

    Personally I think the logo could do with a complete redo. But obviously that'd hurt the brand a bit since it'd be unrecognisable... Perhaps move one of those 3 points to make it more even, I feel sorry for those with OCD...

    Yeah, that was the problem. You may not be able to notice but the square in the middle on the original logo actually is NOT in the middle. It hurts my brain and makes me go crazy.

    This logo is just cleaning up the... other... logo...

    I am working on a more gritty, completely different Rust logo.

    Honestly all I did was rotate the logo by -135° and it still looks better than your "improved" logo.

    I'd prefer a simplistic logo for rust. Suits the theme.

    I was just about to do that to slap this obviously pretentious bastard in the face.

    Seriously? "Your logo is ugly and I can do it better, here look but dont take it".
    Thats what I read from your post.

    I think the first logo isnt choppy and sharp enough. Making the colors more vivid and the borders blurred sort of destroys the whole "edgy, weirdy" look I enjoy with it.

    The second one is a decent enough idea, but I would like to see something more corroded, and more importantly, MADE BY THE AWESOME CONCEPT GUYS WORKING ON THE ACTUAL PROJECT.



    Im trying to sell this picture to my friends as we speak. Ill print mousepads of it soon enough.

    I want to punch you in your stupid fucking ignorant face.
    If you FUCKING READ THE NAME, you'd get the joke. I don't fucking care if you steal it. In fact, I WANT YOU TO STEAL IT. THAT IS AN ARTIST'S DREAM. I made a logo. Go paint your walls with it. Go tattoo it on the side of your cock. Go murder someone and carve my logo into their chest, I DON'T FUCKING CARE.

    tl;dr READ THE NAME AGAIN. AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN, UNTIL YOU GET THE FUCKING JOKE.

    And yeah, I am mad. You're such an "pretentious bastard" that you're too fucking lazy to read and thus assume other people are assholes when in fact, you're the asshole here.

    [EDIT] The only way I could make it more obvious would to call it "Blust" instead of "Rust".

    I'm pretty sure he was making a joke.... to which you yelled at him for not getting YOUR joke...
    Sounds like there's a lot of bad jokes in here xD
    Also, more related to the thread, I like the second logo, however I don't think that this is really at the top of the devs lists xD

    I want you to read his comment again. If you think he's joking, you might be on some type of drugs. When you're joking, you don't be that rude or that serious. He isn't joking, he's just mentally challenged.

    Also, who said that it's at the top of the dev lists? I don't get your comment. Are you implying I made this for the devs, which I didn't?

    really it just looks worse

    For a computer clean freak it looks pretty obvious where you forgot anti aliasing and you can see what looks like the reminants of a poor fuzzy select

    To be honest, I don't really like it, the silhouetting is just kinda strange, but you are on the right track. I know it may sound stupid, but can you maybe edit one to have some bullet holes or something in it? that might be kinda cool, I am no artsy person, so I couldn't say if that would ever turn out well, but call it a request Also if you want to keep the silhouettes, I would recommend moving them to the background rather than into the logo.

    I have been trying to get some bullet holes in the logos, but it's a lot harder than you think.
    I'll keep trying though.

    Well, if you do manage it, make sure they are different "caliber" holes, maybe one or two not fully penetrated (e.g. dented) I know that's going slightly overboard, but I think it may have some potential, it could be really cool. As for the silhouettes, definitely move them to the background and lighten them up a bit, and see how that looks, maybe?

    Well, go look up some bullet holes for inspiration, I am no sort of graphics artist, but I can tell you that is not what a bullet hole looks like. Also, maybe add some rust to the edges of the hole and the logo, you know, cuz it is rust and all
