[QUOTE="rick_hershey, post: 3421949, member: 17007"] As the first freelancer to work for Tricky Owlbear Publishing I want to flat out say that working with them was not a pleasure, and in fact do not suggest it to anyone else. When I first discussed the logo with them I asked for a simple sketch of what there ideas were. . . here is a list of the elements they wanted incorporated. - 100 elven archers with flaming bows. - giant floating castle chained to the earth - demonic host floating in the background, laughing maniacally - animated chain-lightning wiping out a group of orcs and trolls - magical swords, lots of magical swords (with lens flair) - 2 wizards fighting a dragon - 300 spartans - and both their names (Bret and Scot) in old english font. . . glowing. After I recieved the list, and after much thought, I responded and asked about maybe putting the actual company name in the logo, and maybe an owlbear? for the enxt several days a team of mediators and lawyers worked out the details and went over our agreements and notes. Finally, after much debate they decided that it probably would be better (although less Kick ass) to just use the company name and owlbear as part of their logo, and save their future customers confusion . . . [B]Actually, it was great working with Bret and Scot, the logo is all their idea and I look forward to working with them again. Good luck guys, so far your professionalism is spot on. If you ever need some free art advice or artwork- drop me a line.[/B] [/QUOTE]
