Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Well, this will be the final logo for 3.0?

idk, I still find it disturbing that the disc catches the users attention more than the dolphin...

For what it's worth, I don't know the other devs' opinions on the logo. Most probably just don't care...

Ultra stroked looks epic.

EDIT by neobrain: Again, do NOT quote the whole freaking post just to answer with a one-liner >_>

Am I the only one who doesn't really appreciate the whole 'cube' idea?


Feels like the 3D effect is somewhat off, might just be me being weird though!

Yeah, I'd be able to change that if its really needed. I'll take some time today or later and change the sizes of each one.

About the "don't care" thing, Well, we all know that what really matters is "the insides" of the emulator, but UI/Graphics is a part of the emulator and should be polished as well

It may be, it was handmade after all, its not a 3D Render of a cube, but a vectorial 2D Image after all, the shading may be kinda off for now, it still needed some tweaks.

The perspective is kinda forced I think. If I was to make some changes I'll put the dolphin on the right (to catch more attention) and the disc on the left. The triangle on the top looks kinda out of place too, maybe aligning it to better fit the rounded square could help. Finally, the white shapes are too flat compared to the rest of the cube (maybe some carving, shadowing, beveling?).

Its a matter of personal taste of course, but good work so far though. Cheers.

I like it, pretty much the modern Nintendo's graphic style: clean, bright, light shaded aero-like 2D sprites (just look wii's info dialogs, or Mario Galaxy title screen logo)

good but not stable

I have been doing some tests about it, made another version just to see what it would look like if it had more black on it (Like the current logo).

Here it is:


What do you people think about it?

short answer : Nice !

long answer : NNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEE !

Black borders gives a nice "comics" touch and I like it !
