tagging your logos and pictures.
Well, i was wondering about something lately, why does everyone need to put a tag (label, his her name, whatever) inside or next to their pictures and logos.
To me nowadays (i used to do it back in the day) it seems inproper and unstyled, often making a picture looking unbalanced or sometimes even ugly. i was just wondering what you thoughts on this were.

You need the signature in every little logo to give your releases that special lame and unprofessional style, which is so popular in the scene.
Some people, eg. the Scene World crew, even add it to pictures they haven't drawn themselves! |

"Lame and unprofessional"? Heh :-) Would we like the scene to be "professional"...and what do you mean by that anyway?
Even Picasso signed his pictures as far as I know, most artists have always done this, except those poor bastards working for Walt Disney etc.
Let people sign their pictures or logos or whatever if they want, as long as the "tag" isn't bigger than the logo ;-)
The graphician who made the piece should bloody well be the one who decides if it makes the picture look unbalanced or not...
Oh, and here's a thing - I - was wondering about lately; why does everyone need to put a tag (label, his/her name, whatever) at the end of the text they post in this forum, when their handle is clearly listed on the side of the posting...? ;-)

Of course it's up to the person painting the picture whether to sign it or not. But it's also up to the person making the demo whether he wants to remove the signature or not. A logo with a signature in a demo looks lame. In my opinion. |

In MY opinion any coder who alters a picture or logo drawn by someone else but herself/himself is much lamer than someone who signs her or his artwork.
The coder can chose not to use the logo, or ask the graphician to remove the signature, but to tamper with someone else's work like that is lame.

Heheh, seems the discussion is starting of already :)
I think that altering pictures or logos by removing the tag is not very very lame or anything, In some cases i actually understand it, however, i think ofcourse that the artist should be consulted about this.
anyone else got a though on this? |

I don't mind logos/pictures being tagged, sometimes it's nice to see who made the thing without having to wait for the end/credits or whatever. I very much like the little dk on DeeKay's gfx. Then again, I'm not trendy enough for modern scene. |

Mermaid: the very lame coder who removes the tag would of course ask the person who painted the logo/picture if it's okay, and if it's not, the very lame coder will use some other graphics.

actually a tag can add a lot to a logo as long as it's something original and/or remarkable. For example RRR uses some pretty nice tags. Even nicer are symbols, figurs or signs instead of bold handles. I've also seen that here and there, but can't quite remember where. And after all: What a strange discussion this is :-) ...

Artists do yes. Then again, there are only a few real artists in the demoscene :)
