The other day for one reason or another I decided to get the logos for all my wii games, should be an easy task....right. Wrong, for all the big games it was fine but for lots of the smaller games it was not so easy and some cases impossible to find a decent res logo. I would of thought somewhere on the web there would be some sort of videogame logo archive but apparently not (there probably is but I couldn’t find one)

So I decided I am going to set up a logo archive website for Hi-res logo's for all current gen consoles and perhaps sometime in the future for older consoles.

What I want to know is would anyone find this useful?
Would anyone be willing to help in this project?
And finally does anyone know if a logo archive already exists?

Edit: I know some are not Hi-Res as soon as I find better ones will replace the Lo-Res logos.

I know this is not exactly what X-Cults for but unsure where the best place for this would be.

Edit: Site is Here until further notice

Here what I gathered in a hour or so (no user/pass sorry about the random ftp got no webspace at the moment)

IT's a good idea. But if you're serious, lose the recolor

SSBB logo
Burnout Paradise logo
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat logo

I'll have a look for some more later. I'm sure I had some hi-res DMC ones floating around too.

I decided I am going to go for it.

Thanks SteadyDietOfNothing if you can find those DMC one would be great.

Here’s where the sites gonna be until I fill up the 100mbs that’s on this site.

I will do a proper design to the site and search functions and that when I have got a decent amount of logos.

Any other contributions will be great.

Edit: Does anyone know if this is a logo to a specific game or just a general logo for kirby?

While I applaud the idea and effort you should really take pach's advice and lose that gayness in your av/sig

If you can't find the DMC ones, I have access to Capcom's press site, I'll see if I can dig 'em up.

I was also trying to download as much high-res crap I could from the SEGA site, but I closed the fucking window, clearing my download queue. I'll try again tomorrow. But there's litterally a shit load of stuff. I also have access to THQ and Nintendo (Europe)'s press site, I'll leech what I can there too.

EDIT: You're in luck, I found the Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition logo and Devil May Cry 4 logo (in PSD format). I'll harvest what I can, when I can. Can't give you a certain deadline, 'cause I'm a lazy fuck and there's a lot of shit to be found, download and then uploaded.

EDIT2: 3827 x 1843, layered PSD good enough for ya'? =P

Thats great exactly what I am after regarding the DMC .psd files

God know's how I am gonna buy/find space for all this think I going to need a lot of GBs

Love the megaman 9 logo, capcom sure are pulling all the stops to make it look as much like the old games as possible.

Hold on a sec, I'm confused here. I don't see a recolor, it's just Super Sonic. It also seems to have been hand-drawn... am I missing something?

SSUK

Jul 18 2008, 05:12 PM

I'll be honest with you PSD artwork is RARE. Hell, finding a logo in PNG with an alpha channel is sometimes a fucking nightmare. When companies realise that there are portable image files WITH transparency, everyone's life will be easier, but I digress; SEGA has a bit of PSD logos, but it's like 10% of the logos they have. Sometimes it's for really obscure games too. But I'll see what I can do, I'll try and get JPEGs for the rest in highest quality I can find.

Tweaker: It's actually the Super Sonic design from the Fleetway UK Sonic the Comic series. As seen here: http://www.retrojunk.com/details_articles/394/ God, I haven't seen a STC in ages, I forgot all about tomboy-Amy and her is-she-really-female friend... That green bird thing.

StC was pro. It had a lot less characters than the furfag-ridden Archie but at the same time the few that were there had actual character develolpment (especially Robotnik). And evil Super Sonic was so much more awesome (and not as generic) than that glowing faggot from the games.

Thanks SteadyDietOfNothing.

Someone yesterday gave me a bunch of logos from the nintendo press site and this advance wars was with them which is a logo for the original name of the gamecube title Battalion Wars. Shall I include logos that are not the final version and if so shall I seperate them somehow?

Galaxia

Jul 19 2008, 08:22 AM

that'd be awesome as far as the Cult's concerned, considering we're looking for stuff not used or left out =P
put it in a folder called "prerelease logo" or smth

Is it depressing that I can remember her name is Tekno without even looking? =P

uh if you're gonna do a logo archive, you need uncompressed format like .png to save the images. those high resolution .jpgs are a joke.

Also, wasn't Greg2k doing a logo project at some point?

It's depressing that SSUK doesn't read STC-Online >=(

Y'know, I was about to say the '4' in the Biohazard 4 logo looks exactly like the one in Resident Evil 4. Google is my friend =).

at the moment it's better than nothing, you have to admit.
I don't think there is another archive for video game logos in particular, and if there is, I haven't seen or heard of it.

But anyway, it would be nice if he posted the original files instead of JPGs... and easier for him, if he's actually converting them.

By the way, what happened to that EarthWorm Jim 1 logo? It looks terrible compared to the original (which is included in the EWJ2 logo).

Jul 29 2008, 07:40 AM

I don't think you guys appreciate how hard it is to find PNG files for all logos ever made. If Press Sites, places for high quality media for print purposes in mind, doesn't stock much more than JPEG for a lot of it's assets, where else are we meant to find these higher quality files? I mean, I rarely stumble across the odd .ai file and even .psd is quite a luxury, let alone a .eps file. Also, there's a few PNG files on the site as well, so I don't think he's purposefully converting these files to lower quality JPEGs at all.

Oh and an update from me, I'm almost done getting all the logos from Capcom's site. Should have them to you in a day or two.

And this goes back to Greg2k again, he was vector-tracing low-res and compressed jpeg images and essentially re-creating them then saving the output as png. Doesn't ANYone remember this or have any of the stuff he did? It was all really well-done...

About greg, last I saw his site was abandoned with a "THIS SITE SUCKS GTFO" message, but looking now there seems to be something there again. But about the time I saw the GTFO message, he had disappeared from the CulT.

speaking of disappearing you lot have done a WONDERFUL job of luring your lost talent back from the pretentious hellhole of Sonic Retro. even Hez of all people has quit posting here. jesus christ.

A photobucket I found with a bunch. Some of the logo's are made-up, though.

To answer your question, it's neither, it's the logo for the terribad Kirby "Anime" or whatever you could consider that they had(have?) running dubbed by 4kids, atleast that's all I recognize it by.

that is the general kirby logo for US/PAL, adopted after 'nitemare in dreamland' fashioned after said anime. so it is official
