    Loch Tech Monster logo development

    So yeah I'm gonna be making a start on the LTM site design at some point, mainly on the badass illustration that's going to be in the header, the progress of which I'll post here so yarll can put forward your suggestions and criticisms. My initial idea was a vector illustration of a Loch Ness Monster thing wearing a bluetooth earpiece or summat, but post any ideas you may have. Some reference images the begin with:













    Also this Loch Tech Monster stuff gave me an idea... who's up for an ATK summer trip to Scotland?!

    - It definately needs nessie... how about a terminator-esque nessie, with the broken away skin with the red eye looking out? Or something like that, make it techno-ish in some way.

    and Scotland is bloody miles away xD

    I think it would be more appealing if it was playful but not too "clip-art". Bluetooth headset sounds like a good idea. Maybe a t-shirt with a witty nerd statement on it?

    Also, summer and scotland??? Is there a summer there? :P

    The logo definitely shouldn't be scary, and I'm not too keen on the idea of a bluetooth headset. I just have a feeling I've seen it somewhere before, and reminds me too much of callcenters.

    Although I originally thought a cartoony look might be best, I'm now pretty keen on the techno-ish approach that VH explained. Have the monster look like it's just made of electronics, so it's basically a robot.

    The whole robot Nessie idea... don't know how to describe it apart from BLUUURGHHH really. Unless I make it steampunk-ish... might be hard to draw though.

    So yeah here's some sketches I've been doing:







    My favourite concept is the straight-edged monster with the circuit board texture, what do you guys think?

    Circuit board straight one I like... but its all a bit serpenty. I prefer Pleiosaur Nessie. Not phallic snake Nessie

    I'm with you on that, the circuit board looks great.

    Text should be below the waterline IMO.
