It's a longshot, but is anyone up to making a Zap! logo?

Post by Zap! »

Who's really talented in Photoshop? I'm looking for a graphic logo with the name "Zap!" and maybe something classic next to it, like an Atari joystick, a game in the background, etc.
One burning question that will remain with him until his dying days....."Was my victory really worth the price I had to pay?"

Why not use the logo from the magazine Zap. The same font for the ZAP man???

I like to think I'm decent with photoshop, Illustrator works pretty well for logos too. I'm into 16 & 8 bit art, here's a logo I did for the band 8-Bit Cannibalism (back when my pen name was Super_Drunk). This is a jpeg, the original was a gif (it was too big to post) so I'm not sure if it looks crisp in your browser. This is displayed at 400% the original size. This was done with a SNES pallete and resolution, loosely based on Kefka from FF3(6JP). So, if you're interested in a retro logo or a more modern one, I'm up to it :)

Thanks Amelyn! Below are a couple of more contemporary logos. I couldn't find the original Code SMRT logo, so I just downloaded it off their profile, so it's not as crisp as the others. I'm actually not 100% happy with the Golden Beast Studios logo, but it's decent.

Thanks for the offer! I wrote that post at a time when Zap!'s logo was this:

Now, however, I got a new logo a few weeks ago from Strangerous, and love it now. Don't think I'll be changing it for a while. :donkeykong_beatingchest:
