New Dark Side of the Moon theme and new logo on the "Old Board" themes

yeah...the Dark Side theme was pretty far out.

Meddle sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

I know exactly what you mean by "not as hard"--- the font that I'm thinking of is the one on the official PF site (there are four different Meddle pics, I think, that are cycled through on the randomized front page). You can see which one I'm talking about at http://www.pinkfloyd.com/home/7.html.

While it's a pretty generic-looking font, I think it suits Meddle well, so I'd like to find something as close as possible. Is there anyone with a huge font database who wants to look through them all for me?

Century Gothic is a near exact match; that's the font I'd recommend to duplicate the font on the Pink Floyd page.

Sorry it took so long for me to answer that!

I was wondering if anyone remembered this poor little thread up here. Thanks--- I see if I can find that at work tomorrow (we have a huge font database). So now I should be pretty close to being done with the logo, at least. Was I supposed to do a background, too?

Gerald, this is all "volunteer work", so to speak. You only have to do what you want and have time for; there's no pressure from anybody else. So if you can, great, if you can't, that's fine too.

I make FW's words my own.

BTW, thanks for taking the time to try and create such things, Gerald. We really appreciate it.

Oh, I know I'm not required, I was just wondering if there was already a background for the theme, or if that was needed as well.

Here's the logo, first draft. Feedback?

Not bad...quite good, in fact, but the text needs...something.

I put it though a mosaic filter - credit to GeraldTheMouse - to "cut it into little pieces" - the axe has more "Careful With that..." rather than OOTD, to me - and to pay homage to the Floyd's meaning of "to interfere" in Meddle.

The axe is off the PF official Echoes site, asssociated with OOTD.... but hey, whatever.

What filter was that, Byron?

Oh never mind, I found it.

Incidentally, I think the problem (or a problem) with the text is that it isn't anchored.... so I changed the cropping. See if this is better.

Mosaic. Didn't try "Craquelure"

Btw, I was in no way denigrating your use of the axe, but clumsily attempting to express my "first-reaction" as a PF fan, once I figured it all out. I like the axe, and the set-up, and interweaving of different elements.

The something I think the text needs is more prominence, maybe a larger or "fatter" font. Have also been studying the filtered version and see the "walking Floyd" will need some highlighting if mosaic is used.

"Cheers"

Better.

And here's No. 2 with larger mosaic tiles, and the right quarter cropped.

As with all my suggestions, yours are the original ideas so mine are free for use or refuse.

I like what the mosaic does to the text, but I don't like what it does to the rest of the image. Try this on for your fancy.
