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.

uhmm...i am hollow-man, that post was written by puter-man.
ahwell, i could have been mixed up with a more embarassing person, like almost any of the other people involved in this discussion(except for the lovely TDJ, *hug*).

Quote: If you re-read my message, you'll see that that wasn't what I said. I was talking about releases, not single pictures or logos. I think it looks silly with a demo where there's a little signature in every logo or picture.
And as for Picasso: as Picasso never made any graphics for scene related releases, it must be the case that you see some kind of analogy between Picasso's works and scene graphics. Otherwise it's not relevant to the discussion in any way.
When we're discussing scene matters we're not allowed to use examples from other areas of the world? That's rather restricting I think. Where is the rulebook, I'd like to see where it says that any example used in a discussion must be taken from within the actual c64 scene. Until you produce that paragraph...well...stupid as I am, here I go again:
Picasso signed his work. Was that lame and unprofessional of him?
I don't think so.
Is it lame of a 7-year old to sign a water colour painting she did of a dinosaur?
I don't think so.
Is it lame and unprofessional of a c64 scener to sign the graphics he/she creates?
I don't think so.
A 7 year old's painting of a dinosaur is art. Picasso's work is art. A piece of graphics on the c64 is art. If the artist choses to sign his or her work it should be up to them and the idea that signing your work is "lame and unprofessional" seems a little strange to me.
Art (n)
1. a) Creation or expression of sth. beautiful, esp in a visual form, eg painting, sculpture etc: "the art of the Renaissance", "children's art". b) Skill in such creation
c) instances of this (...)
And...since Celtic was talking about logos and pictures in general and your message was a direct response to his question, well, I guess I probably misread your message then, sorry about that. I still disagree with you.

i think cupid has more information about those rules since he was the one that wouldnt allow me to use aeg's logo for smash on pc as an example |

Puterman must probably have a copy of the rules as well, judging from his previous statement. |

Talk about your average infected topic. I used to tag, now I don't. I don't like the look of it anymore. A matter of taste, that's all. (And all this time I thought people actually READ the credits in those upscrollers with the slow, sad music...) |

I'll agree with the previous statement. Used to do it, don't do it that often anymore. Rather, I'll still do it if I can integrate it with the graphic. If it doesn't really go well, or if it stands out to a preposterous level, then I'm not going to do it.
Now, do I think it should be done? Don't think it really matters. I know that I don't read the upscrolls with the sad music, so... then, most artists have a style so you (well, I know I) can kind of identify who did what without tagging.
Right then. |

I know I need tags or atleast decent notefile or credits to the simple to understand. Some people could do what Ogami did atleast once, using different bit pairs but same colour assignment, embed who done it into the picture. Ogami's piccy is FLI and reminds me of a zombie coming at me. The area with his name (Ogami V2.2 or something it says) is written in black in a black area. I thought it was brilliant. Some rippers wouldn't even notice it if they rebadged it.
I cannot tell who done what by style. Many music routines also have a section that enables music credits if needed to be used. |

I tag both my logo's & my pictures. It's away of signing your
stuff so every one can see who did what. It's always good to
see Electrics 'e' & Deekays 'dk'. Although i have to admit,
the Sarge/Tried did take things abit too far ;P

I always used to tag my stuff. Tried to make it as small as possible though, in the end I tagged it with a short-form (gob instead of goblin). I think it's okay, graphicians want their 15 mins of fame too I guess... Bah!
