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.

Cool RRR is still alive...
I am not jealous, and if I only saw a third of your stuff, fair enough. Fact is though that loads of your commonly known and spread logos did look like they were done with the same charset. Just some added backgrounds and changed colors and voila, another one.
That was the thing that made me wonder why someone judges your tag to be cool :)
Hollowman, even if crossbow would have done that pc demo, the comparison is still irrelevant. And AEG is a nice guy but his tagging was always superfluous, and releasing an image in a demo and a graphics compo at the same party is lame in my point of view.
Anyways I will still keep tagging my stuff, and either if you don't want to or do, as long as you release nice non wired graphics, thumbs up for you...
Hah! Lovely now I have seen myself typing again... And did not do the graphic I promised anonym, damn.

cupid, yes what an irrelevant comparison. Compare c64 logo to the work of picasso==ok. Compare c64 logo to pc logo==no fxxing way. Go on typing instead of drawing. You have always been better at making yourself look big by bashing other graphicians like your continous bullying of rrr than you have been good at proving yourself with your pixelling. |

Hmm I don't remember me saying mermaid's comparison was valid. However I will not say anything against it, it may be understood as bashing mermaid for getting all her fame...
btw, hollowman you need to relax once in a while (no pun intended).

puterman probably never drew anything worth signing.
every graphics designer who is proud of his/her production wants to put their name next to it. just like any creative production where contributers want some sort of recognition.
not just commodore 64, but as others say, the whole history of art and design.
it's only lame and unprofessional when it's gaudy and out of place, or overbearing or obviously too self indulgent. but when it's that little touch at the side, like the great masters, it looks good.
hey, and comparing the c64 scene to picasso is right on. when you look at the history of multimedia, a lot of it was happening on the c64 before anywhere else. in 100 years time when they chart the history of multimedia design, they may well put the little old c64 right there at the beginning. some of the early c64 demos could be seen as some of the original contributions to the history of design.
remember how they laughed at the surrealistics, the impressionists and the other avante-garde. history reveals all. |

No, I've never done anything I'd compare with Picasso's works. I'm definitely not as important to the history of art as the impressionists, the surrealists or their peers in the C-64 scene.

puterman - you can be humble and sign your works as well. many do. irrespective of what you say, the general consensus is against you. many creative people of all levels of talent, whether good or bad, have signed their works, and will sign their works in the future.
of course, there are some places where signing your works is out of place (commercial activities). but in the c64 demo scene - whats the point of the demo - isn't it to demonstrate ? to show talent ? to entertain ? etc. there are many artists who were the otherwise anonymous authors of creative works who happily only sign their names to items that they create themselves, not items that they've been paid to create. that's professionalism. |
