Civ 5 Art Competition

[Alfa Romulus]

I just registered especially to post my little emoticon!
I've been lurking at this site for a long time though.

Well here it is, i like the idea of using the hexagon thing and using the civ's V as a roman 5.
My idea was to use one hexagon for the C and the I and use a second hexagon to contain the V.
I quickly made it in paint so it's a bit rough and needs to be perfected...

where V is formed as a border between two civs...

Great, you may have just got my vote!

Maybe have a thin black border aournd the C and I, so that they are clearly letters, but Alfa, you are on to something here!

Could a C and an I fit in those top two hexes?

I tried it, but it didn't look so good.

I also made one with more tiles, where a V is formed from a peninsula of plains tiles inside water tiles (and with a few forest tiles on top). It needs more pixels to look good however.

Hmm ... looks like the CI inside the V may be too small to see easily. On the others, try the C in the SW corner, and maybe the C and I a touch larger?

I tried having them larger...unfortunately any larger and it looks disproportionate...we've only got twleve vertical pixels...

Just an alternative to my post above. I think I like the V in the middle better, though.

Thought I might give it a shot:



More to come I'm sure.

Dark Jedi's is best.

Civ Fuehrer is close to my design concept shown below. Not very artistic, as I don't have those skills, but see if we can tuck the CI into a large V in a more aesthetically pleasing fashion than what I have below

Notes: This was a castelian (I think) font at 72 size, in 200%, 300% and 400% horizontal stretch to generate the various V's. The 400% stretch is probably too much, the 200% not enough.



Of course, anything with a large "V" has appeal to me!

Made two more, one with the Civ 5 'v' and one with your 'v' though I think the latter could use a little more touching up.

Gave it another go based on what some members wanted to see...

Here is my icon. What do you think?

Thanks for the revisions ... maybe on the monogram version (center V) go with upper case C and I, sized appropirately of course .

Ah, you have restored my faith in the CI inside the V idea ... I think it is a busy enough concept that sans serif fonts are in order, as in your first one.

Along the lines of thinking below, try going back to the first one in your first post, take out the small v and have the CI centered vertically (as it already is) and horizontally ... without worrying about squeezing it into the notch of the V.

Hmm ... you could make me change my mind about having the second V with that one ... but what if you dropped the small v and then just centered the CI (without trying to squeeze it into the notch of the big V)?

[Takhisis]

How 'bout this one?


Also, can we submit SMAC logos as well?

Minor tweaks on previous posts:

I do like Alpha Romulus':



I'm a beekeeper so the whole hex thing is very exciting for me.

I did two sized 'CI''s for the horizontal and I think the vertical 'CI' is a tad small to fit, but here it is. I could try diagonal.

Thanks for the votes everyone!

I did do a thin border but made it gold because the background is already black.
It's still in paint though, maybe (if i feel like it) i'll make an improved version this weekend.
