Forgotten logo

SuperJoe · Commander **Joined**: 03 Sep 2009

I messed around trying to create some sort of logo for the Forgotten. Can't say I'm very imaginetive or talented in this area so I was basically between a tiberium crystal or some sort of hand being held in the air. Here's what I was able to make

Does it look fitting for Forgotten? The quality is not there but I mean the basic idea. What else could the logo be about? Oh and if anyone would be willing to help me out with it I would definitely not mind Wink

What about a slightly glowing green crystal clasped in a fist (the kind of hand you showed), on a black background? Perhaps put the symbol inside a polygon, like Nod's scorpion was enclosed in a hexagon, and the GDI eagle was encircled. I would suggest a star-like shape, octagram perhaps.

Something like this? I got stuck creating the background, tried some emblem shapes, but it always ends up looking so much less detailed than the GDI and Nod logos.

Yeah, but both ends of the crystal should be identical (only mirrored).

SuperJoe, man, nice idea for logo. I like it.

I made the crystal identical on both ends, but I'm not sure it turned out too good. Maybe the crystal is too long for this.

Here's another version, alot more simplified. Think it looks more fitting for a logo, could imagine it painted on the side of a tank or something. Should I keep this as the basis and work the background emblem for it?

If you want something more consistent with GDI and Nod logos, I'd recommend using a gometric shape as the backdrop, like GDI's circle and Nod's triangle.
Maybe something that represents an animal instead might also be good.

Nod's triangle.

HERESEY!

The idea of the fist might be too similair to Nod's symbols, hand of nod, fist of nod, the black hand, etc etc.

DaFool: The black hand does look bit similar to Nod Black Hand logo, but that one has the palm open and isn't holding anything. Quite many logos / banners have pictures of hand so I don't think it's that big of a problem. Also I don't recall the Nod Black Hand logo being seen anywhere in TS, though I could be wrong. When did it first appear? Tiberium Wars?

GameMaster, that shape looks very fitting for the logo. I'll try to work off something from it.

Ickus: Surprised

... being stabbed by the crystal could reflect how tiberium is destroying their lives, but I'm not sure the forgotten would put that into their logo Laughing

. The message of the current logo is that the forgotten and tiberium are connected, but instead of giving up they are trying to conquer it. Or something.

I would assume the Forgotten try to emphasize their status as the despised anomalies, abandoned by the rest of humanity. They have however strong bonds themselves, and often view allying with blunts as unworthy. I.e. they have a clan society based on trust.

Renegade. There it is a black fist painted inside the Nod hexagon, with a Scorpion tail on both sides of the fist. Both of the Black Hand logos have been disappointing in my opinion, and could've been done better.
